Chlordane Contamination Study of the Cedar River, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Spring-Summer 1985

This report from the University Hygienic Laboratory contains the results of a chlordane study of the Cedar River taken in the spring and summer of 1985 after it was discovered from a routine fish tissue monitoring program in Iowa that it contained levels of chlordane in excess of the FDA action level.

Influence of row spacing reduction on maize grain yield in regions with a short summer

The interest in reducing maize row spacing in the short growing season regions of Brazil is increasing due to potential advantages such as higher radiation use efficiency. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of row spacing reduction on grain yield of different maize cultivars planted at different dates. The trial was conducted in Lages, in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, during 1996/97 and 1997/98 growing seasons, in a split-split plot design. Early (October 1st) and normal (November 15) planting dates were tested in the main plot; two morphologically contrasting cultivars (an early single-cross and a late double-cross hybrids) were evaluated in the split plots and three row widths (100, 75 and 50 cm) were studied in the split-split plots. The reduction of row spacing from 100 to 50 cm increased linearly maize grain yield. The yield edge provided by narrow rows was higher when maize was sown earlier in the season. Differences in hybrid cycle and plant architecture did not alter maize response to the reduction of row spacing.
