Handboek Grasveldinsecten: Ecologie En Beheersing: 2015
ISBN: 9789086862504 / Holenderski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sinds de vijftiger jaren van de 20e eeuw is de oppervlakte en hoeveelheid aan sportvelden, golfterreinen en gazons in particuliere tuinen sterk toegenomen. De kwaliteit van de grasmat is bovendien verbeterd en in particuliere tuinen neemt een mooi gazon vaak een belangrijke plaats in. Het goede onderhoud en daardoor de goede kwaliteit van de grasmat heeft echter een keerzijde: veel insecten profiteren van de sappige wortels en het verse gras. In feite is een insectenaantasting van een grasveld een luxeprobleem dat direct gerelateerd kan worden aan goed onderhoud.Hoewel er onderzoek is gedaan...

Host-Pathogen Interactions in Plant Disease
ISBN: 9780127114200 / Angielski / Twarda / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the genetics, biochemistry, and epidemiology of host-pathogen interactions in plant disease, especially as they concern the breeding of crops for disease resistance. It analyzes a wealth of information that has not previously been recorded in other books or reviews. Some of it stems from basic surveys of disease in the field. The analysis of these surveys not only explains a great deal about host-pathogen interactions that was heretofore obscure, but also indicates directions for future research. Other data, from original papers, have now been coordinated for the first...

This was followed in 1932-33 by a "terror-famine," inflicted by the State on the collectivized peasants of the Ukraine and certain other areas...

The Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals
ISBN: 9780202361697 / Angielski / Miękka / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The domestication of plants and animals was one of the greatest steps forward taken by mankind.

Only when we have this understanding will we be able to appreciate fully the important social and economic consequences of this step. Even more important, an understanding of this achievement is basic to any insight into modern man's relationship to his habitat. A change in methods of investigating these events has taken place, due to the mutual realization by archaeologists and...
