Publikasjoner
NIBIOs ansatte publiserer flere hundre vitenskapelige artikler og forskningsrapporter hvert år. Her finner du referanser og lenker til publikasjoner og andre forsknings- og formidlingsaktiviteter. Samlingen oppdateres løpende med både nytt og historisk materiale. For mer informasjon om NIBIOs publikasjoner, besøk NIBIOs bibliotek.

Emerging compounds are continuously recognized in the environment and many are yet to be evaluated with regard to their environmental level, fate and subsequent biological effects. Most of these are high-volume-production chemicals which can accumulate due to their special chemical properties and persistency under ambient environmental conditions. Identification and detection of potential sources of emerging compounds in waste water discharges was performed by GC-MS full scan analysis.

Emerging compounds are continuously recognized in the environment and many are yet to be evaluated with regard to their environmental level, fate and subsequent biological effects. Most of these chemicals are present at trace level concentration but they can accumulate due to their persitency and special chemical properties. Municipal, hospital, agricultural sewage and leachates from deposits are the major entrance and distribution pathways in environment1-4. Identification and detection of potential sources of emerging compounds in waste water discharges was performed by GC-MS full scan analysis.

The liquid fertilizers (1) Calcinit (Ca NO3)2)+ Superba, (2) Arena Crystal, (3) Flex, (4) Plant Marvel, (5) Sea Power and (6) Sea Power + Superba were evaluated in two greenhouse experiments growing Agrostis stolonifera on columns filled with 30 cm USGA-spec. sand (ignition loss 1.4%, pH (H20) 5.6, CEC 2.7 meq/100 g dry soil) over 10 cm gravel. In expt. 1 the products were compared at weekly rates of 0.1 and 0.2 kg N/100m2 combined with two irrigation levels (1 x ET and 2x ET) during an 8 wk grow-in period; in expt. 2 as maintenance fertilizer to established turf at weekly rates of 0.05 and 0.1 kg N/100m2. Based on weekly determination of visual turfgrass quality and clipping yields, the ranking of fertilizers in the grow-in trial were Sea Power + Superba > Sea Power > Plant Marvel = Flex > Arena Crystal > Calcinit + Superba. Given as maintenance fertilizer, Plant Marvel and Arena Crystal gave higher visual quality and less invasion of moss than Sea Power, the other fertilizers producing results that were not significantly different. The results are discussed in relation to nitrogen form and the content of other nutrients in the various products.

No significant differences in frost tolerance between velvet bentgrass and creeping bentgrass was observed when freezing occurred directly after acclimation. Acclimation under natural conditions was more effective than under controlled conditions. The quantitative and qualitative composition of nonstructural carbohydrates, particularly fructans, varied among bentgrass species, but did not correlate with frost tolerance. The accumulation of fructans may play a role in other aspects of winter hardiness. Subfreezing acclimation increased the frost tolerance of velvet bentgrass and creeping bentgrass.

Freezing tolerance is a major component of winter hardiness of perennial grasses. Velvet bentgrass showed the same freezing tolerance as creeping bentgrass. Acclimation at temperatures above 0 ºC was associated with accumulation of nonstructural carbohydrates and enhanced plant survival after freezing. Acclimation at 2 ºC for 4 wk was more effective than for 2 wk and resulted in higher concentrations of fructans. Additional subzero acclimation at -2 ºC resulted in a reduction in fructans and higher concentration of reducing sugars; however, there was no additional improvement in freezing tolerance. Protein analysis was performed using 2-D polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Nineteen protein spots were responsive to acclimation. Thirteen proteins were identified. Identified proteins belonged to metabolism, energy, disease/defence, and secondary metabolism functional groups.

Cold acclimation plays a decisive role in turfgrass winter survival. This study was performed in collaboration with Rutgers University and University of Massachusetts (USA) to examine changes in carbohydrate levels in crown tissues during the first and second phases of cold acclimation in velvet bentgrass (Agrostis canina L.) and creeping bentgrass (A. stolonifera L.), and their association with freezing tolerance.. Four treatments representing different phases of cold acclimation were compared: (i) nonacclimated plants maintained at 18 °C/12 °C (day/night); (ii) plants acclimated at 2 °C for 2 wk and 250 μmol m-2 s-1 for 12 h photoperiod ; (iii) as treatment (ii) but for 4 wk; and (iv) as treatment (iii) plus additional sub-zero acclimation in the dark at -2 °C for 2 wk. Velvet bentgrass and creeping bentgrass showed no difference in lethal temperatures for 50% of the test population (LT50) as estimated by whole plant survival. Acclimation at 2 °C for 2 and 4 weeks resulted in accumulation of sucrose and fructans, and significantly lowered LT50 as compared with nonacclimated plants. Subzero acclimation resulted in less fructans, no difference in sucrose, and higher concentration of reducing sugars, but LT50 was not lower than after acclimation at 2 °C for 4 weeks.

The results from two field trials (Landvik and Apelsvoll) showed that the use of a proper combination of nitrogen rate and topdressing level is very important for thatch control. In coastal areas with ample rainfall, velvet bentgrass should be dusted with find sand every week or at least every other week, totalling around 10-14 mm per season. Nitrogen rate should be held at a level just to get an acceptable color. Weekly grooming, monthly verticutting and spiking twice a year are also needed to control thatch on velvet bentgrass greens, but heavy mechanical treatments should be avoided due to slow recuperative capacity of velvet bentgrass.
