We did not find significant differences in OPDA among the three genotypes
Kharchia does show a significantly reduced level of Na+ uptake in the 5th leaf when compared to salt-sensitive cultivars, which likely explains the stable harvest index of this line . Based on these contradictory findings, it appears that the most informative way to conventionally assess salt tolerance is to measure multiple growth and physiological parameters simultaneously.…

Measurement of biomass reflects the cumulative effect of metabolic activities in plants
Overall, there were no discernible effects of CECs on aphid growth and survival or the key bacteria in their microbial community. However, there were reductions in plant growth when even relatively low concentrations of antibiotics were included in their water. This could pose a problem for growers because antibiotics tend to be reapplied with each…

The trends of water vapor above fields will be a factor of both wind speed and direction
Hypotheses A-F assume that vegetation is transpiring. As noted above the June data and the widespread use of irrigation in the Central Valley means that this will often be the case. We do not have direct measurements of crop ET. However we utilize Land Surface Temperature as an indicator of plant activity. Fields with lower LST…
