LOW NITROGEN AVAILABILITY INHIBITS THE PHOSPHORUS STARVATION RESPONSE IN MAIZE (ZEA MAYS SSP. MAYS L.)

Abstract Background Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are macronutrients essential for crop growth and productivity.In cultivated fields, N and P levels are rarely sufficient, contributing to the gap between realized and potential production.Fertilizer application increases nutrient availability, but is not available to all farmers, nor are current r

The individual housing of sows and bonviv boars within stalls is still frequent in commercial pork production, especially when the risk for impaired reproduction or welfare is high.Whilst many countries have either removed stall housing in gestation or are working towards this through the successful adoption of group housing, stalls are still used
