Drip-irrigated tomatoes received three N application rates and two irrigation treatments
A smaller amount of N was taken up by the plant when irrigated with 32.3 as compared to 16.8 cm of water for each N application rate.This is presumably because the extra water leached some of the N below the root zone. On the other hand, higher head weight was achieved under 32.3 as compared…

Harvesting fresh asparagus is laborintensive because each spear is hand cut individually
Individual commodities, however, have fared very differently. Between 1990–92 and 2008–10, average U.S. fresh-market asparagus production declined 50%, while fresh-market strawberry production increased 137%.

Results were similar and therefore we only present models controlling for allergy
We log10 transformed continuous fumigant use variables to reduce heteroscedasticity and the influence of outliers, and to improve the fit of the models. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios of respiratory symptoms and/or asthma medication use with residential proximity to fumigant use. Our primary outcome was respiratory symptoms defined as positive if during…
