Subject field(s)
  • Animal Pests (Crops)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Black bug... The insect is common in rainfed and irrigated wetland environments during the vegetative stages of the rice crop. It prefers continuously cropped irrigated rice areas and poorly drained fields. Damages are observed more frequently in dry season rice crops and densely planted fields are preferred... One of the cultural control practices to reduce the population of the black bug is to maintain a clean field by removing the weeds and drying the rice field during plowing.... Mechanical control measures include the use of mercury bulbs as light traps for egg-laying adults.

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Biology
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
DEF

Quantity of surface and groundwater absorbed by crops and transpired or used directly in the building of plant tissue, together with that evaporated from the cropped area, expressed in units of volume per unit area. Also includes all activities where the use of water results in a loss of the original water supplied, such as industrial or community consumption.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie végétale
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
DEF

Quantité d'eau absorbée par un organisme vivant.

DEF

Quantité totale d'eau, superficielle et souterraine, consommée en un temps donné par la transpiration des plantes et la formation de leur tissu, ainsi que par l'évaporation du sol cultivé. On l'exprime en unités de volume d'eau par unité de superficie. Elle comprend aussi tous les prélèvements définitifs qui entraînent une diminution des ressources en eau disponibles, par exemple pour la consommation industrielle ou domestique.

OBS

L'eau est en effet le premier constituant en importance pondérale de la matière vivante, l'eau n'assure pas que l'hydratation des tissus vivants, mais elle est aussi nécessaire à leur fonctionnement. Les animaux consomment généralement assez peu d'eau, de l'ordre du vingtième de leur poids par jour, comparativement aux végétaux. La consommation hydrique journalière de ces derniers atteint facilement leur poids total au printemps ou en été par beau temps, soit de l'ordre de 50 mètres cubes par hectare. L'absorption hydrique des plantes a lieu essentiellement par les racines.

Subject field(s)
  • City of the Future (Urban Studies)
CONT

The fastest-growing kind of town in the country is one on the outer edge of a metropolitan area which has acquired an employment base. Christopher Leinberger, writing in The Atlantic three years ago, called these communities "urban villages, "and there are also several other names for them, including "edge cities" and "technoburbs. "The communities have cropped up all over the country in Plano, Texas, and Tysons Corner, Virginia; the towns in the valleys surrounding the Los Angeles Basin and along the outer reaches of San Francisco Bay; New York satellites like Stamford, White Plains, and Princeton.

CONT

The technoburb ... contains both work and residence within a single decentralized environment.

To distinguish the new perimeter city from the traditional suburban bedroom community, I propose to identify it by the neologism "technoburb".

Reflood timing for ratoon rice grown on Everglades Histosols.

OBS

Ratoon: A stalk or shoot arising from the root or crown of a perennial plant.

OBS

Rice(Oryza sativa L.) production in the Everglades Agricultural Area(EAA) of southern Florida has been expanding steadily since 1978(Coale et al., 1993). In 1992, 9000 ha of rice were planted on organic soils(Histosols) in the EAA, and half of that hectarage was ratoon cropped(Coale et al., 1993). Ratoon cropping, a second harvest of rice from tillers produced from auxiliary buds on remaining stubble following main-crop harvest, allows for more efficient utilization of the long, wet, subtropical growing season of the EAA and, thus, increases rice production per unit area.

CONT

Plasma processing cropped up in studies on new metal finishing processes. The processing of semi conductors has already eliminated much of the wet-processing in favour of plasma. Film used in recording is plasma-processed to provide an anti-static surface. Compact discs require plasma processing in their manufacture. Plasma processing cropped up again in the study of the future of packaging where it is vital to the cleaning and preparation of plastic bags.

OBS

See plasma etching, contrast to solvent or wet processing.
