Abstract:

<p> There are an insufficient number of university students, specifically women, graduating with an education in agronomy to fill work force demands. This need, driven partially by population growth, is increasing due to growing rates of industrialization and consequential environmental issues. Agronomy pays special attention to the supply and demand of resources from the environment. Though there is an apparent regression in students choosing an education in agronomy, there is a need for their skill set. This study hypothesized that urban and rural women have different perceptions that influe

Extensive coastal sabkhas in the northern Gulf of California in North America are colonized by Distichlis palmeri, an endemic perennial grass that produces a grain that was harvested as a staple food by native Cocopah people. Previous short-term trials have shown good vegetative growth but low grain yields. During outdoor trials under anaerobic saline soil conditions of paddy-style irrigation, D. palmeri exhibited high salt tolerance, grain and biomass production. Reproductive maturity was reached four years after initial establishment of plants from seed and a 1:3 mixture of male and female p

This is due to several positive attributes it has including sytemicity, wide spectrum of weed control and environmental friendliness. Its efficacy and lack of residual activity are therefore important to ensure adequate weed control without imposing hazards to the environment. Despite these favourable attributes for weed control glyphosate has its shortcomings. Evolution of resistance to glyphosate has been a major concern from 1996. However, there are other f

A challenge will be with farmers that choose not to use this new technology and have susceptible crops on their farm or adjoining farms.

This thesis describes the investigation of the bioactivity of triterpenoids, limonoids and spiro-triterpenoids, isolated from the order of the Rutales. The focus of this research has been towards the development of botanical insecticides with non-neurotoxic modes of action in insects. It follows the recent development of Neem (Azadirachta indica, Meliaceae) as a botanical insecticide containing a limonoid azadirachtin as its main active compound. Because so few Meliaceae members have been examined for insecticidal activity the project was initiated by the screening of over sixty ethanol extrac

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the present and potential role of non-governmental organizations (NGO's) in the management of agricultural soil erosion and associated water quality decline (ASEWQ), in Ontario. A series of five tasks are associated with this research purpose. These tasks include: the cataloguing of all agricultural NGO's in Ontario; the assessment of this NGO population's vertical interaction; the assessment of the NGO population's horizontal spread; analysis of NGO mobilization potential in the area of ASEWQ management; and finally the characterization
