The main objective of this study was to establish recommendations for lime and mineral fertilisations to winter wheat crop. Reserches were organized in the experimental plot  from  SC Agrotehnic SRL Păuleşti and endorsed the establishments of mineral nutrition status of plants and comparative study on recommendations of the phosphorus fertilisation applied in Romania and in Norway. Recommendations of fertilisation were determined according with soil data and mineral nutrition status of wheat, Renan variety

Denne utgreiinga gjev ei oversikt over stølsdrifta i Valdres og har sett på kva som skal til for at gardbrukarane vil fortsette med stølsdrift og/eller grunnar til at dei sluttar med stølsdrift. Fokuset er på ”flaskehalsar” for stølsdrift, både innan landbruksdrifta og i eventuelle tilleggsnæringar knytt til stølsdrifta. Metoden er 19 intervju med stølsbrukarar, ansatte på landbrukskontor og prosjektleiarar. Konklusjonen er at det er økonomien i landbruket og i småskala turisme og foredling som er den største trusselen for stølsdrifta. Men det er også andre flaskehalsar, som teknisk standard og mangel på straum som kan gjere fortsatt stølsdrift vanskeleg. Innan småskala turisme har arbeidet med produktutvikling og profesjonalisering eit stykke igjen, men det er på tur. I oppsummeringa trekker me fram nokre moment som det bør fokuserast meir på.

Mould growth on exterior coated cladding façades is an undesirable element; it is considered to be major maintenance concern and will often shorten the aesthetical service life of the façade. On the other hand, rapid colonisation and colour change of unpainted wooden claddings is often anticipated and used as a design element. Wood is a biological building product, and individual components in a building will vary in appearance, properties and performance. Life expectancy of wood and wood-based products is related to a number of factors. Mould growth on painted surfaces is influenced by type and concentration of film fungicides, the paint formulation and the wood material, and wooden cladding may experience exponential fungal deterioration caused by variation in the climatic factors, often within a small limited area. The overall objective of this thesis was to gain in-depth knowledge about which factors influence surface mould growth on coated and uncoated wooden cladding in an outdoor environment, with a special attention to modified wood substrates. The work included identification of fungal species on the surface of coated substrates, studies of modified wood substrates\" susceptibility to mould growth, investigation of paints with different physical surface structures and their influence on surface mould growth, identification and quantification of factors that contribute to variation in surface mould growth and prediction of future performance of combinations of wood substrates and coating systems.....

In 1998 Plum pox virus (PPV) was detected for the first time in Norway.  Virus symptoms were observed on several trees in a collection of plum cultivars at Njøs Research Station in the Sogn og Fjordane County in West Norway. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority and the Norwegian Crop Research Institute immediately started surveying other variety collections around the country, nuclear stock material and orchards in all important plum-growing areas. Since 1998 we have surveyed the main part of the commercial plum orchards in Norway. About 75 000 individual trees have been tested. About 1 % of the trees have been found infected by PPV. Only the PPV-D strain has been found. It is suspected that the main infection source was infected plums or apricots imported to Njøs around 1970 or earlier.In most plum orchards in Norway, the spread of PPV by aphids is relatively slow. Therefore, we expect to be able to eradicate PPV from commercial plum orchards in the near future.The eradication work is continuing.

Laboratory scale experiment on survival of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in samples of filter media used in constructed wetlands (CWs) treating domestic wastewater was performed. Concentration of E. coli was examined in 42 samples collected from a wetland filter/bed. All samples positive for E. coli contamination were used to assess the effect of storage time at different temperature regimes on the survival of E. coli. Storage time was set up as an unlimited factor, while temperature conditions were limited by three regimes, 4, 10 and 22 degrees. It was found that E. coli had higher persistence in samples collected from the upper, subsurface level comparing to samples taken from deeper levels (35 - 50 cm and 65 - 80 cm). Survival of E. coli in filter media collected below the depth of 35 cm from the surface level of CWs was counted up to 21 days. It was observed, however, that E. coli could survive for 14 months in samples of filter media collected right below the organic layer (5 cm). Concentration of E. coli in these samples, stored at 10 degrees, increased radically during the first 6 months and then rapidly decreased during next 1,5 month of storage. Thereafter, a slow decrease of E. coli numbers was registered up to the level that no E. coli was detected. The highest survival rate was observed in samples stored at 10 degrees, but the longest period of survival was noticed in samples stored at 4 degrees.

The most important and widespread disease on golf courses is Microdochium nivale. It is a psycrotrophic fungal plant pathogen that is the main cause of biotic winter injury in grasses in the temperate and sub-arctic climates, both with and without snow cover. It is an opportunistic pathogen, with the ability to attack plants under a wide range of environmental conditions. A large variation in both host preference and aggressiveness among isolates has been documented. It is speculated that these traits as well as competition between isolates may be dependent on temperature. The fungus is spread by infected seeds and from infected plants or debris. Besides seed transmitted inoculum, it is not clear whether the primary inoculum source is wind dispersed ascospores or soilborne/plant debris borne inoculum. Wind borne ascospores has been claimed to be the main inoculum source, but perithecia are hardly observed on grasses on Norway. The aim of the present project was obtain better understanding of what is the source of primary inoculum for snow mould caused by M. nivale; to understand how inoculum of M. nivale survives from spring to fall, and from year to year, to understand how climatic conditions affects the potential inoculum by monitoring symptoms on plants, occurrence of the fungus and growth characteristics in vitro of strains sampled from snow melt and through summer and autumn. To obtain such knowledge, surveys and sampling on selected golf courses was conducted. Snow mould symptoms and the occurrence of M. nivale in leaves and stems of grasses sampled from golf greens and foregreens was reduced during the growth season. We also found that M. nivale could be isolated from locations without visible symptoms. Despite a lower isolation rate in autumn, M. nivale was again isolated in some of the originally locations, the following spring. The M. nivale isolation rate was similar from sites located on greens compared to foregreens, and from greens located at more sunny sites compared to more shadowy located greens. We conclude that this fungus seem to survive from year to year within the same locations on greens and foregreens.
