The control of quackgrass (Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.) using glyphosate applied with either a conventional sprayer or a rope wick applicator, each followed by several levels of tillage, was studied in 1983, 1984 and 1985. With the conventional sprayer, glyphosate was either applied alone or with ammonium sulfate (3.4 kg ha−1) and the surfactant, nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol (0.5% vol/vol of spray volume). Applications made with the sprayer were more effective in reducing quackgrass culm density than those made with the rope wick applicator. The density of quackgrass culms declined as the number of tillage operations increased from one, performed at 115 or more days after herbicide application (DAT), to three performed at 5–8, 39–60 and 115 or more DAT. Doubling the rate of sprayer-applied glyphosate, from 0.8 to 1.7 kg acid equivalent ha−1, did not result in a reduction in the density of quackgrass culms. However, in 1 of the 2 years in which comparisons were made, both of these treatments reduced the density of quackgrass culms more than a similar application of glyphosate alone at 0.5 kg ha−1. The addition of ammonium sulfate and surfactant to glyphosate enhanced quackgrass control only at the 0.5 kg ha−1 rate and only in 1 of 2 yr at that rate. Glyphosate, applied at 0.5 kg ha−1 with the sprayer, and followed by three tillage operations consistently reduced the density of quackgrass culms by 95% or more. Both the herbicide and the tillage treatments resulted in increases in the yield of barley seeded the following year. In 2 of the 3 years, barley yields, averaged across tillage treatments, were greater in the plots where the sprayer had been used to apply the glyphosate treatments than in the plots where the rope wick applicator had been used. Barley yields decreased as the quackgrass culm density increased, although other factors seemed to have influenced the yields in one of the years.Key words: Glyphosate, tillage, barley, quackgrass, fallow

Field experiments showed that quackgrass could be controlled by glyphosate applied preharvest to barley. In separate experiments, field mint was controlled by glyphosate applied pre- and postharvest to barley and wheat. Suppression of quackgrass regrowth one year following treatment was 90% or greater when glyphosate was applied at 0.9 kg ai/ha alone or at 0.45 kg ai/ha in combination with both tallow amine ethoxylate at 0.5% of total spray volume and ammonium sulfate at 3 kg/ha. Field mint shoot counts were reduced 84% the year following treatment when glyphosate was applied at 0.25 kg ai/ha and 95% when applied at 1.0 kg ai/ha. Suppression of field mint shoot regrowth the following year was 84% when glyphosate was applied postharvest and 93% when applied preharvest. Addition of tallow amine ethoxylate did not improve field mint control. Glyphosate applied preharvest to barley and wheat at less than 30% grain moisture content had no effect on grain yield.

Coagulation Abnormalities

SummaryAn anticoagulant occurring in 4 of 6 patients with SLE has been demonstrated by a sensitive assay utilizing an ammonium sulfate fraction of serum. The anticoagulant functions as an inhibitor of the activation of prothrombin. No species specificity was demonstrable. The inhibitor behaves clinically and chromatographically as an immunoglobulin, although an attempt to demonstrate directly the antibody nature of the inhibitor was not successful.A severe, apparently independent, decrease in the level of prothrombin was observed in the patient with hemorrhagic symptoms. In contrast to the anticoagulant activity, the low prothrombin has persisted during treatment.

Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation

Unripe and ripe bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) were ground and the extracted juices were partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation at the concentrations of 40 and 60% (w/v). The collected proteases were analysed for pH, temperature stability, storage stability, molecular weight distribution, protein concentration and protein content. Protein content of bilimbi fruit was 0.89 g. Protease activity of both the unripe and ripe fruit were optimum at pH 4 and 40°C when the juice were purified at 40 and 60% ammonium sulfate precipitation. A decreased in protease activity was observed during the seven days of storage at 4°C. Molecular weight distribution indicated that the proteases protein bands fall between IO to 220 kDa. Protein bands were observed at 25, 50 and 160 kDa in both the unripe and ripe bilimbi proteases purified with 40% ammonium sulfate, however, the bands were more intense in those from unripe bilimbi. No protein bands were seen in proteases purified with 60% ammonium sulfate. Protein concentration was higher for proteases extracted with 40% ammonium sulfate at both ripening stages. Thus, purification using 40% ammonium sulfate precipitation could be a successful method to partially purify proteases from bilimbi especially from the unripe stage.

The results of studies on the influence of forms and doses of nitrogen fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, urea, carbamide-ammonia mixture, ammonium sulfate) on the productivity of oil flax under the conditions of the western forest-steppe are given. In the traditional system of fertilizer, oil flax is not able to provide high yields and quality products. An effective solution to this is optimization of plant nutrition due to its balance, which promotes intensive plant development, makes it possible to actively and efficiently intervene in the process of harvesting and its quality. Therefore, determining the optimal fertilizer rate for oil flax in specific soil-climatic conditions is important for obtaining stable and high yields of culture. The purpose of our research was to determine the contribution of doses and forms of nitrogen fertilizers to the productivity of flaxseed oil in the soil-climatic conditions of the western forest-steppe. The research was carried out in 2016-2018 at the experimental field of the Institute of Agriculture of the Carpathian region of NAAS in five-point crop rotation with the total area of the plant growing on a gray forest surface glued type of soil In general, four forms of nitrogen fertilizers were studied: ammonia, nitrate, carbamide-ammonia mixture, urea and ammonium sulfate, which were added in doses: N30; N45 one time; and N30 + N15 under pre-sowing cultivation and in the "fir tree" phase against the background of P30K60. The total number of variants was 16. The object of research was a variety of flax oilseed crops of breeding of the Institute of Oilseeds of NAAS. The seed sowing rate is 6 mln similar seed per hectare. According to the results of three-year studies, the effect of intensification of mineral nitrogen feed and various forms of nitrogen fertilizers on the indices of the elements of productivity and yield of flaxseed oil has been established. In particular, it was found that their use had little effect on the density change of plant stem growth. The use of nitrogen fertilizers in the dose N45 on the background of P30K60 improved plant survival (killed during the vegetation of 0.33-0.42 million pp./ha, which is 5.2-6.3 % for control, where the death observed 0.58 million ppm/ha or 8.4 %)) compared to the N30 dose (0.39-0.49 million pcs/ha). In addition, the use of the dose N45 separately (N30 under cultivation + N15 in the phase of the "fir tree") also improved the survival rate of plants (5.2-5.8 % of dead plants) compared with the simultaneous application of N45 cultivation (5.6-7.1 %) The percentage of deaths grew in control (without fertilizers) - 8.4 % against the background of P30K60 - 7.0 %. The application of various forms and doses of nitrogen fertilizers led to an increase in the control of the elements of productivity. The introduction of N45 against the background of P30K60 contributed to an increase in the number of boxes on plants, according to the variants of fertilizers, this index varied from 14.6 to 18.3 pieces per plant (10.9 - on the control, 12.9 pcs/roll - on the РК background), increasing the amount of seeds per plant by 12.7 pc. per plant, a mass of 1000 seeds per 0.2-0.3 g compared with the control and 0.1-0.2 g compared with the LCD background, where this figure was 6.8 g. On average, over the years of research, the highest productivity of flax seed of oilseed Vodograi (2,27 and 2,48 t / ha) was obtained provided the mineral fertilizer N15P30K60 was applied for cultivation in combination with carbamide feed in the phase of "fir tree" at a dose of N15. When using the nitrogen component in the form of KAS, the gain to control was 1.45 t / ha, to the background - 1.12 t/ha. In control and against the background, this indicator was 1.04 and 1.36 t/ha respectively. When using other forms of nitrogen fertilizers on the background of P30K60, lower yields of flaxseed crops were obtained (1.37-1.38 t/ha). The introduction of the N45 separately (N30 under cultivation + N15 into the "fir tree" phase) generally led to higher performance than a single application for cultivation. Among the studied forms of fertilizers, urea and carbamide-ammonia also caused a slightly higher percentage of fiber content in flax stems, however, it was within the experimental error and was not significantly increased.
