European plums are susceptible to fruit cracking close to harvest. Heavy rainfall may lead to extensive damages leaving open wounds in the fruit flesh. In addition, cuticular fractures were found. Plum cultivar and stage of maturity are two major factors affecting the susceptibility to cracking. In order to reduce the plums’ susceptibility to cracking plum trees were treated with foliar fertilization during the growing season. Experiments included treatment with boron, calcium and nitrogen. Experiments including treatments with different levels of foliar fertilization did not show clear correlations between treatments and cracking in all cultivars. However, in some cultivars, more cuticular fractures were observed in fruits from nitrogen treated trees and less fractures in fruit from calcium or boron treated trees. In these experiments foliar fertilization with nitrogen, calcium or boron did not affect the amount of visible cracks in fruit significantly. Foliar fertilization is often shown to delay ripening. Even though fruit samples were picked at the same maturity stage, the effect of reduced cracking due to boron and calcium treatments could be partly an effect of differences in maturity. To make sure the fruits would develop fractures, unripe plum fruits on the trees were kept in a plastic bag with zip-lock and a few mL of water (to obtain 100% RH) for one week (from two to one week prior to estimated harvest date). In this way, the susceptibility of fruits on trees treated differently could be observed.

The major sources of nutrients to organic grown apple trees are fertilizers made from manure, compost, bone meal, etc. Depending on humidity and temperature in soil and air, the nutrients are dissolved or mineralized and made available to the trees during the growing season. In conventional apple growing, the trees are given mineral fertilizers in early spring to improve the nitrogen status in the trees during flowering for better fruit set. Is it possible in an organic production system to increase the plant available nitrogen in the flowering period by application of liquid N-fertilizers? The standard fertilizer in Norwegian organic fruit growing is dried and pelleted chicken manure with bone meal and vinasse (Marihøne plus; NPK 8-4-5). In these experiments, a liquid fertilizer (Pioner Hi-fruit; NPK 4-1-5) based on vegetable matter plus potassium-vinasse was compared to the standard fertilizer. The liquid fertilizer was applied to the soil as fertigation from 2 weeks before the estimated start of flowering. The dry product was applied 2 weeks prior to flowering. To incorporate the fertilizers into the soil, a mechanical hoer (Orizzonti, Italy) was run in all plots after the application of dry fertilizer. The nitrogen and mineral contents in soil, leaves and fruit were analyzed. The liquid fertilization applied on the soil in the spring gave higher N-contents in soil and trees compared to the dried manure product. However, the increase in N-content was not very strong in the leaf samples. Apples from trees given high doses of liquid fertilizers were greener with less cover colour and higher IAD-indexes. Still they were softer and had less starch than fruit from other treatments.

Improved waterlogging tolerance of wheat and barley varieties may alleviate yield constraints caused by heavy or long-lasting precipitation. The waterlogging tolerance of 181 wheat and 210 barley genotypes was investigated in field trials between 2013 and 2014. A subset of wheat genotypes were selected for yield trials in 2015 and 2016. Our aim was to: (1) characterize the waterlogging tolerance of genotypes with importance for Norwegian wheat and barley breeding, and (2) identify which phenotypic traits that most accurately determine the waterlogging tolerance of wheat in our field trials. Waterlogging tolerance was determined by principal component analysis (PCA) where best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) of the traits chlorosis, relative plant height, heading delay, relative spike number, relative biomass and an overall condition score were used as input variables. Six wheat and five barley genotypes were identified as consistently more tolerant in 2013 and 2014. This included the waterlogging tolerant CIMMYT line CETA/Ae. tauschii (895). Chlorosis and the overall condition score were the traits that best explained the yield response of the genotypes selected for the yield trials. Our results show that early stress symptoms did not necessarily reflect the ability to recover post treatment. Thus, records from full crop cycles appear as fundamental when screening populations with unknown tolerance properties.

Ved drenering av landbruksarealer bør en bruke filtermateriale rundt rørene for å øke innløpskapasiteten, hindre tilslemming av rørene og beskytte røret. Vanlige anbefalte filtermaterialer i Norge har tradisjonelt vært sagflis fra bartre fra tømmersager eller grus med riktig kornfordeling. Nå er teppefilter ferdig pårullet på vei inn, og prosjektet har prøvd ut disse tre filtermaterialene mot hverandre i to felt. Avrenning og grunnvannsstand er målt over henholdsvis 5 og 2 år. Alle rørene virker tilfredsstillende, og ingen systematiske forskjeller kan spores mellom filtermaterialene, selv om det er stor forskjell på avrenningen mellom enkeltrør.

For 60 år siden gjorde dypfryseren for alvor sitt inntog i norske husholdninger. Aldri skulle det norske kjøkken blir det samme igjen. Artikkelen omhandler gamle konserveringsteknikker sett i lys av den moderne fryseteknikken, og hvilke konsekvenser innføring av fryseboksen fikk for matkulturen vår.
