For example, pollinators benefit from sown flowers but soil fauna are sensitive to annual sowing. Our results also indicate that sown flowers may not optimise overall biodiversity as expected due to disturbance and the depleting role of tall, flowering plants on soil nutrient availability. Futu...
Attempts to determine the genomic constitution of tall fescue have to date solely focused on the Continental morphotype. Meadow fescue (F. pratensis) has previously been identified as the contemporary taxon most closely related to one of the diploid progenitor sub-genome (P) donors, based on chrom...
17 Global annual production was about 700 000 MT in 2007/08,7 mainly used as a nutritional supplement and as an oleochemical raw material,18 particularly for flooring (linoleum), paints, and coatings.19 Linseed oil is the most widely used natural drying oil and is the main ingredient in ...
Borage is an annual herbaceous plant that is easy to grow and provides a myriad of benefits for gardeners. Not only are its striking star-shaped flowers picturesque to look at, but borage is an excellent companion plant that helps other plants to thrive, and it is entirely edible from stem...
Annuals and perennials may be fertilized using: 1.water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2. temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; or 3. organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. Water soluble fertilizers are generally used every two weeks during the growing season or per label instruct...

I’ve kept back three plants: one of which I shall grow again on the south-facing fence, once the danger of frost has passed and the others I’ll take to clients looking to clothe a wall or fence this summer, albeit with a half-hardy annual. The plants have now reached a similar ...
An annual Prairie Day, held the second Saturday in August, highlights the flora and fauna of the Preserve. A traditional Ukrainian meal and entertainment is a great way to end this action-packed day. While you are in the area, a trip to St. Michael's church, the first permanent Ukrainian...
After breakfast, we walked for about five hours down the mountain and through Peach BlossomValley, 【小题8】 beautiful walk through pine trees and flowering peach trees, waterfalls and pools of water. The green plants up the mountain made 【小题9】 a unique climb, and the second-day valley...
In vineyards where annual water scarcity is not a concern, the inter-rows are often maintained with grassed surfaces. The grass transpires soil water throughout its growth cycle; water transpired by the grass may be as much as double the water transpired by the grape vines. This may be ...
