The use of multi-resistant cultivars allows a significant reduction in fungicide use in low-input cropping systems. However, many major wheat cultivars used in Europe remain sensitive to frequent diseases and require fungicide protection. This paper aims at understanding the factors explaining...

The ability of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) to price discriminate in wheat exports is examined. The conceptual model shows that the CWB's ability to exploit cost differences in pricing depends on the extent of differentiation between Canadian and U.S. wheat. This model is implemented using...

Based on the minimum duration of exposure, the effect of aqueous plant extract of Croton bonplandianum on seed germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum and Brassica campestris was established. Allelopathic activity of the extract increased with increasing duration of presoaking,...

Twenty one-day-old seedlings of six wheat varieties grown under controlled conditions (growth chamber at 25 ºC) and heat shocked leaves (heat shock of 45 ºC for 2 and 4 h, 50 ºC for 1 and 2 h) were used for membrane stability test as well as for Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) isozyme pattern....

This paper provides evidence that transatlantic commodity market integration began prior to the first era of globalization at the end of the nineteenth century. It does so by giving a long term perspective to the story of the development of an Atlantic Economy in wheat between the United States...
