Cattle Horn Shavings: A Possible Nitrogen Source for Apple Trees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-12)The circular economy concept promotes the recycling of agricultural waste. This study was aimed at investigating the effects of cattle horn shavings on apple tree nitrogen nutrition. Ligol apple trees on P 60 rootstock ... -
Determining Pollinizer Success Rates among Several Apple (Malus domestica L.) Cultivars Using Microsatellite Markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-12)In order to determine the pollinizer success rates between twelve apple cultivars in 2021 and 2022, 671 apple embryos were collected from 19 different orchards in Ullensvang (southwestern Norway) and Svelvik (southeastern ... -
Economic optimal nitrogen rate variability of maize in response to soil and weather conditions: Implications for site-specific nitrogen management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08-21)The dynamic interactions between soil, weather and crop management have considerable influences on crop yield within a region, and should be considered in optimizing nitrogen (N) management. The objectives of this study ... -
Effects of Climate Change on Grassland Biodiversity and Productivity: The Need for a Diversity of Models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-02)There is increasing evidence that the impact of climate change on the productivity of grasslands will at least partly depend on their biodiversity. A high level of biodiversity may confer stability to grassland ecosystems ... -
Field screening of waterlogging tolerance in spring wheat and spring barley
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-29)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 ... -
Growing Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) Hydroponically in Wood Fiber—A Preliminary Case-Study Report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07-05)Potato contributes highly to the global food security. It is predicted that the production of this crop will be negatively affected by future climatic changes. Application of hydroponics for table potato production can ... -
Identifying Pollen Donors and Success Rate of Individual Pollinizers in European Plum (Prunus domestica L.) Using Microsatellite Markers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-02-12)European plum cultivars (Prunus domestica L.) are hexaploid and partially self-fertile or self-sterile requiring compatible pollinizers with overlapping bloom times. Therefore, inter-planting of different pollinizer cultivars ... -
Nitrogen Mineralization of Apple Orchard Soils in Regions of Western and South-Eastern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-10-06)The mineralization of nitrogen in apple orchard soil will increase the soil supply. An incubation study to test the soil potential and the validity of analytical methods was conducted at 3, 8, 15, and 20 °C for up to 128 ... -
Orchard Planting Density and Tree Development Stage Affects Physiological Processes of Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) Tree
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-04)One of the most important factors affecting photosynthesis and metabolism is light absorbance by leaves and penetration through the canopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of planting density and tree ... -
S-Genotyping and Seed Paternity Testing of the Pear Cultivar ‘Celina’
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09-11)The diploid Celina/QTee® (‘Colorée de Juillet’ × ‘Williams’), one of the most promising pear cultivars developed by the Norwegian breeding program Graminor, was launched in 2010. In Norway, the flowering is medium to late, ... -
Success Rate of Individual Pollinizers for the Pear Cultivars “Ingeborg” and “Celina” in a Nordic Climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-05)Norwegian pear production is low due to climatic limitations, a lack of well-adapted cultivars and suitable pollinizers. However, nowadays it is increasing as a result of newly introduced and bred pear cultivars. Since ... -
Use of Copper-Based Fungicides in Organic Agriculture in Twelve European Countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-10)The reduction of copper-based plant-protection products with the final aim of phasing out has a high priority in European policy, as well as in organic agriculture. Our survey aims at providing an overview of the current ...
