The purpose of this study was to test the activity of gibberellins and auxins for induction of parthenocarpic fruit development in cloudberry, Rubus chamaemorus L., a dioecious, northern wild berry with potential for cultivation. Plant hormones were applied directly to open flowers, either dissolved in ethanol or as an aqueous spray. Of the tested gibberellins (GA1, GA3, GA4, dimethyl-GA4, GA5, GA9, GA19, GA20 and GA24) only GA1, GA3, GA4 and dimethyl-GA4 were active and induced fruit development comparable to development of pollinated fruits. Lack of activity of GA20 and GA9, the immediate precursors of GA1 and GA4, respectively, suggests that 3 b-hydroxylation of gibberellins can be inhibited in unpollinated flowers of cloudberry. Auxin treatments induced an initial fruit development, but did not result in ripe berries. Based on these results, use of transgenic methods to regulate gibberellin or/and auxin biosynthesis in carpels of cloudberry could be used to develop a parthenocarpic cloudberry.

Patrolling with livestock guard dogs in mountain rangelands in Norway was evaluated as a method to prevent predation in areas with widely dispersed sheep. In contrast to the traditional use of guard dogs, patrol dogs are closer socially bonded to people and follow a range inspector around. Range inspection was performed in 5 h bouts during three nights per week. The method was tested during three summer seasons in a total of eight sheep flocks grazing in three different mountain ranges. In total, three inspectors and four dogs were involved. Significant reductions in the number of sheep lost were achieved in one of the study areas. Lack of significance in the other areas were mainly due to the size of the area and qualities of the dogs: the range to be patrolled by one man/dog unit should not exceeed 10-12 km2, and the dogs should be experienced guard dogs, which are properly socialized for this method.

Meloidogyne chitwoodi may be introduced into Norway through plant material and soil. The nematode may easily establish on common crop plants. During the growing season two generations are expected to develop in southern Norway, while conditions in the central parts would allow for the development of one generation. M. chitwoodi starts to develop at 5ºC. Planting and sowing in Norway starts when soil temperatures reach around 4ºC. The use of plastic tunnels to increase soil temperature is a common practice in early potatoes and vegetables, and would enhance nematode development. M. chitwoodi requires 600-800 degree days (DD) to complete one generation from the time of planting, and 500-600 DD for subsequent generations. These temperature sums are commonly recorded in potato growing areas of Norway. Qualitative damage on potato tubers would require the reinfection and development of the second generation, and is expected in the southern areas. Qualitative damage on carrots does not require reinfection, and is expected also in central parts. The possibility that the nematode could cause damage to other vegetables and to cereals is an additional concern that supports its status as a quarantine pest organism.
