    Abstract : Sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) is an important crop grown worldwide with a rising interest in production in Europe and Sweden. Swedish producers are looking for ways to grow the crop but are facing problems because of low-quality slips from import which leads to a non-profitable production. READ MORE

  4. 3. Kalcium hos äpple : funktion i växten, inverkan på lagringsduglighet samt metoder för att höja kalciuminnehållet

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Niklas Engelbrekt; [2013]
    Keywords : Äpple; kalcium; fruktkvalitet; kalciumgödsling; bladgödsling; efterskördbehandling; lagringsduglighet;

    Abstract : Kalcium står i nära relation med kvaliteten hos frukten inom en rad olika växtslag, däribland äpple. Genom att tillgodose fruktens behov av kalcium så kan kvaliteten höjas vilket resulterar i ett mer lagringsdugligt äpple samt en större andel klass 1 frukt och därmed en högre inkomst. READ MORE

  5. 4. Möjligheter till ökat utnyttjande av fosfor genom grödan med mineralgödselmedel

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Lisa Ehde; [2010]
    Keywords : fosforeffektivitet; mineralgödsel; fosforutnyttjande; fosforkemi; rotupptag;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to explore opportunities to enhance the phosphorus use efficiencyof inorganic fertilizers in crop production, with techniques available today and in thefuture. Phosphorus is a finite resource of declining quality; therefore a phosphorus use efficiencyin crop production of only 15-30 % is unacceptable. READ MORE
