  1. 6. Carabids as weed seed control agent : impact of soil cultivation on carabid weed seed regulation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Ellen Dahlgren; [2023]
    Keywords : weed seed predation; weed seed bank regulation; weed seed predation strength; seed predation strength; carabid beetles; tillage; piecewise structural equation model;

    Abstract : As weed seed predators, carabid beetles can regulate the weed seed bank within agricultural fields. Little is anyhow known about how weed seed bank regulation by carabids is affected by different tillage treatments with decreasing intensity, why this was here examined. READ MORE

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Wiktoria Breza; [2023]
    Keywords : seed-borne pathogens; artificial regeneration; conifers; thermotherapy;

    Abstract : Pathogen free seeds are critical to produce healthy plants for forest regeneration. However, recent studies have shown that tree seed carry a high diversity of fungi including known and unknown pathogens. READ MORE

  4. 8. Effects of temperature on germination and juvenile growth in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Gabriel von Rosen; [2022]
    Keywords : indoor farming; vertical farming; hydroponics; spinach; seed germination;

    Abstract : As the worlds urban population grows more and more every year, it becomes increasingly important that cities become more self-sufficient on food. Indoor vertical hydroponic farms offer a solution to this by placing the farm in an urban environment and growing plants in a controlled environment. READ MORE

  5. 9. Complete removal of biomass from oilseed radish as a cover crop decreased nitrous oxide emissions

    Author : Emma Lövgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Nitrous oxide; cover crops; freeze-thaw cycles; immobilization; oil seed radish;

    Abstract : One of the many benefits of utilizing cover crops in crop rotations is their carbon sequestrating effect. However, frost-sensitive cover crops could emit high levels of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. READ MORE

  6. 10. Effects of diversified cropping on arthropod communities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Eira Eksvärd; [2022]
    Keywords : carabids; spiders; traits; organic amendments; ley legacy effects;

    Abstract : Även intensiva moderna jordbruk är beroende av ekosystemtjänster som organismer bidrar med såsom biologisk bekämpning av skadedjur. Effekten av biodiversitet på ekosystemprocesser förklaras inte i tillräcklig grad av taxonomisk mångfald, utan beror snarare på mångfalden av funktionella egenskaper bland arterna. READ MORE
