Et markforsøk med seks ulike kloner av "Veten" ble gjennomført for å se om det hadde skjedd noen endringer i sorten "Veten". Det ble ikke funnet forskjeller mellom kloner innsamlet fra eldre felt og en klon som nå er i bruk i statskontollert avl.

Fireblight is a destructive disease of apple, pear and some commonly grown ornamentals. Many countries have expended a great deal of resources attempting to eradicate the disease, but few have experienced success. Fireblight eradication in Norway during 1986-1998 is reviewed. Among important factors to avoid fireblight introduction and establishment are early detection of the disease and the establishment of a programme with the necessary statutory powers and resources to do surveys and remove diseased plants. Testing for latent infections in plant propagation could be of importance. Planting of highly susceptible host plants should be banned.

Nitrogen and water are both major limiting factors for agronomic production in Africa. The effect of erosion on the availability of N and water for plants is not known for major soils of the tropics. Therefore, a study was conducted to assess erosional effects on N- and water-balance on a Mollic Andosol of 9-17% slope at Lyamungu Agricultural Research and Training Institute (ARTI), Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. Soil erosion phases were established on the bases of the topsoil depth (TSD) as an indicator of previous erosion: <1 cm; severely eroded, 16-25 cm; moderately eroded and 26-35 cm; slightly eroded. Fill-in lysimeters (80 cm diameter, 80 cm deep) and field runoff plots (4x10 m) were used to monitor evapotranspiration (ET) and seepage, and N losses through erosion, runoff leaching and plant uptake. Maize (Zea mays var. Kilima) was planted in lysimeters and runoff-plots over two cropping seasons (1995 and 1996). Rainfall and evaporation (E) were measured daily. Sediment samples from runoff plots were analysed for total N, P and C, and water samples from leachate, runoff, and

Good predictions of plant litter carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) turnover in soil depends heavily on a reliable quantification of litter quality. In this work, eight common agricultural crop residues were described by their intrinsic chemical properties and incubated in a sandy soil (15°C and "0.01 MPa water potential). Measured C mineralization varied greatly between the plant materials and was well predicted by a simulation model in which litter C is subdivided into three pools according to the results of stepwise chemical digestion (Van Soest analysis). Nevertheless, there was a significant lack of fit for some of the materials. This was caused by differences in the specific decay rates of holocellulose-like substances (kSPM) as subsequently estimated for each plant material by fitting the model to data on remaining holocellulose. Even though the model takes account of microbial N deficiency, the optimized kSPM values were significantly correlated with initial N (r2 = 0.93) but not with lignin concentration. To test the predictive value in our model of indices and quantities thought to be related to litter degradability, we investigated whether they were correlated with the kinetically defined pool of readily decomposable plant constituents as estimated by fitting the model to measured C mineralization rates. Neutral detergent-soluble C (Van Soest analysis) was best correlated with the estimated pool (r2 = 0.78) followed by water-soluble C (r2 = 0.69) and C digestible in vitro in rumen fluid (r2 = 0.66). Measured C/N ratio in holocellulose-like substances was highly correlated with the overall C/N ratio of the plant materials (r2 = 0.96). In the model, we describe the degradability of litter N on the basis of the measured C/N ratios of the litter pools. The simulated microbial N requirement is governed by a successive replacement of rapidly growing organisms with a low C/N ratio by more slowly growing organisms with a slightly higher C/N ratio, reflecting the commonly observed increase along the decay continuum in the fungal contribution to microbial activity. This model feature was supported by a measured tendency to an increasing biomass C/N ratio. The model gave unbiased simulations of N mineralization and microbial biomass N. This indicates that the descriptions of litter N availability and microbial N requirement in the model were reasonable. However, significant discrepancies between simulated and measured values occurred for some of the plant materials during the first few days of decomposition, emphasizing the need for more accurate knowledge for this very dynamic phase. Our results suggest that an a priori characterization of litter degradability is possible in our model by the use of stepwise chemical digestion for subdivision of litter C and N combined with measurements of initial N to set the decay rate constant of holocellulose-like materials.

The use of felt traps to estimate oviposition by the cabbage root fly, Delia radicum (L.), and turnip root fly, Delia floralis (Fall.), was compared with soil sampling at seven localities between 1992 and 1994 in Denmark and Norway. In all, 281 comparisons were made, based on 6800 samples. In 4.6% of these comparisons no eggs were found by either method. In 16% of the comparisons, 2.0±0.41 (±S.E.) eggs were found per soil sample and no eggs were found in felt traps, whereas in 0.7% of the comparisons 0.10±0.03 eggs were found per felt trap and no eggs in soil samples. When eggs were found using both methods, the ratio between soil sampling and felt traps varied from 13.1±3.2 when the egg laying rate was very low to 1.8±0.2 at high egg laying rates. Regression analysis showed significant correlation between felt trap catches and soil sampling (P
