Particular emphasis has to be put on the observation of the highest number of observed feral maize plants on the edge of the "Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen" as this area is part of the National Park Neusiedler See Seewinkel.
We tested the influence of BX producing maize plants on the endophyte communities of neighboring plants that cannot produce BXs (M. Saunders, A.E. Glenn and L.M. Kohn, unpublished).
An experiment was carried out under field conditions in Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil, with the objective of evaluating the effects on soil properties and on maize plants of increasing rates of a sewage sludge rich in Ni that had been applied for 6 consecutive years.
During the major season, Obatanpa and Dorke maize varieties were planted on April 21 and 24 in Expt. 2 and Expt. 1, respectively.
For sugarcane-maize, sugarcanes (Xintaitang-2) were planted on 5 January and harvested on 25 December; maize seeds (Xundan-7) were planted in the sugarcane fields on 20 February and harvested on 30 June.
Hybrid maize variety (DK 8031) was planted on ridges spaced at 0.75 × 0.25 m in a split-plot design replicated three times, with four irrigation frequencies as main plots and fertilizer sources as subplots.
The maize Hybrid 704 single-cross was planted on 3 August 2003 and on 25 June 2004.
For tobacco-maize, tobacco seedlings (Yunyan-87) were planted on 22 April and harvested progressively between 15 June and 18 August.
García-Carneros et al. (2012) found that the initial incidence of late wilt symptoms in maize plants depends on the isolate of C. maydis and on the maize variety and the final severity of the aboveground symptoms only depends on the fungal isolate.
To develop the algorithm, images of 40 maize plants were taken on different days after emergency.
