Q. -- Why did officials ground crop-dusters last month after the attacks? A. -- Investigators found that some of the hijackers made repeated inquiries about the use of crop-dusting planes in the weeks before the attacks.
Accumulations of more than 10 kg/m2 led to smothering and limb breakage in leafy ground crops (e.g. spinach, potatoes, etc).
For RNA-Seq preparation, conidia of N. crassa WT were inoculated at 10 conidia/mL into 100 mL 1× Vogel's salts (minimal medium) with 2% (w/ v) sucrose for 16 h or with 2% (w/ v) of the indicated ground crop-straw carbon sources for 30 h and grown at 25°C with constant light shaking at 200 rpm.
During the first annual period the proportion of built up and bare ground, crops and open savannah and seasonally flooding grassland were not significantly different between the high overlap areas for cases and controls (see Table 3), although the case high overlap areas had a significantly lower proportion of woodland and dense savannah than control high overlap areas (p < 0.001).
Fearing a germ attack, officials had grounded crop dusters.
The humification coefficient was highest for domestic waste compost (0.9) and lowest for above-ground crop residues (0.19).
The greater above-ground crop dry matter per spikelet was observed in RM109 and MR219 as compared to high dry matter producing genotype; RM311 implies that poor grain filling may not have resulted from dry matter production or source limitation.
The greater above-ground crop dry matter per spikelet was found in RM109 and RM219 with lower LAI as compared to high TDM producing genotype (RM311) which implies that poor grain filling may not have resulted from dry matter production or source limitation.
Crop-Dusting Planes Grounded (By The New York Times), WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 -- The federal government grounded crop-dusting planes around the country for today, a move stemming from the continuing terrorism investigation.
Even though law enforcement agencies were grounding crop-dusting planes at the time, the auditors said, the Forest Service decided that the risk of its tanker plane being stolen by terrorists or other criminals was not even worth examining closely.
