Record 6 2012-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tobacco Industry
CONT

[There are four main methods of tobbaco] curing : Flue curing requires a closed building equipped with a system of ventilation and a source of heat. Air curing requires an open framework in which sticks of leaves(or whole plants) are hung, protected from wind and sun. Fire curing employs an enclosed barn similar to that used for flue curing. Small fires are built on the floor, and the leaves cure in a smoke-laden atmosphere. Sun curing is the drying of uncovered sticks or strings of leaf in the Sun.

Record 7 2009-04-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Plant Biology
CONT

Chlorophyll content is an essential biochemical parameter to track the main developmental stages and yield of cereals relevant for agriculture. In this perspective, several spectral chlorophyll indices have been developed to estimate chlorophyll content at both the leaf and canopy levels using remote sensing data and considering different crop types.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Biologie végétale
CONT

La teneur en chlorophylle est un indicateur direct de la santé de la plante et de son niveau de nutrition azotée. Elle peut être mesurée par un chlorophyllomètre ou un dosage spectrométrique ce qui permet aux agronomes, aux chercheurs et aux agriculteurs d'obtenir des informations fiables sur la culture ou la physiologie de la plante.

Record 9 2001-06-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

(...) Although Thatcher never reached the prominence of Marquis, it retained its importance much longer than Marquis. Since 1939 Thatcher has been Canada's most important variety. In 1954, about 69% of the wheat area of Western Canada was planted to this variety. Thatcher has been replaced gradually by new varieties that are more resistant to stem rust and leaf rust. In spite of its lack of resistance to some of the new strains of rust, in 1959 it was still the main variety in Alberta and the second variety in Saskatchewan, and formed 48. 6% of the wheat area of Western Canada.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

[...] Bien que le Thatcher n'ai jamais eu le prestige du Marquis, il a conservé sa popularité plus longtemps que ce dernier. Depuis 1939, il est devenu la variété la plus importante du Canada et, en 1954, il couvrait environ 69 p. 100 des superficies emblavées de l'Ouest. Peu à peu, de nouvelles variétés plus résistantes à la rouille noire et à la rouille brune l'ont supplanté. En dépit de son manque de résistance à certaines nouvelles races de rouille, en 1959 il constituait encore la principale variété en Alberta et venait au second rang en Saskatchewan. Dans l'ensemble, il était cultivé sur 48,6% de la zone productrice de blé de l'Ouest canadien.

Plants with fleshy leaves of thick petioles may frequently be propagated by leaf cuttings. The leaves may be cut into a number of more or less triangular pieces..., each of which has a large piece of one of the main veins of the leaf. When such pieces are inserted half their depth into the sand, the veins will callous and the young plantlets start from this point.
