比利时奶业概况

比利时位于欧洲中部,是一个很开放的国家,在奶业方面与许多国家都有合作关系。早在一百年前,在布鲁塞尔就成立了代表各国利益的国际奶业联合会,有许多外国公司在此从事贸易活动。比利时每年乳品生产定额为320万吨,占欧盟国家总量的2.7%。按照比利时人的传统习惯,在食品和饮料中     

植物健康的综合管理(三)——正确使用土壤和基质

植物健康综合管理系统（IpHM）在保证根系健康生长方面确实起到了作用。这就对种植者提出了挑战。植物营养调节、水分管理、根／冠生长管理的成败取决于是否有健康的根系和成分配比适当的栽培基质。[编者按]     

Detection of a broad range of potato viruses in a single assay by mechanical inoculation of herbaceous test plants

To optimize mechanical inoculation of test plants as part of the regulated post-entry quarantine testing of stolon- and tuber-forming Solanum spp. (including potato), nine test plant species have been screened for their ability to detect 22 potato-infecting viruses. These included all the common mechanically transmissible potato viruses and most of the viruses found in potato incidentally. The symptoms observed after mechanical inoculation are shown for each combination of test plant species and virus. Under given conditions, Nicotiana occidentalis -P1 and Nicotiana hesperis -67A were found to detect reliably 20 and 18 out of 22 viruses respectively. These and former results on the seed-transmissible viruses and Andean potato mottle virus demonstrate that these Nicotiana species are very suitable for post-entry quarantine testing. Addition of either Chenopodium amaranticolor or Chenopodium quinoa to these two species may slightly extend the range of viruses. Therefore, using C. amaranticolor / C. quinoa , N. hesperis -67A and N. occidentalis -P1 for the biological screening of imported Solanum spp. will improve both the efficiency and the quality of post-entry quarantine testing.     

Sectioned pelvic fin ray ageing of muskellunge Esox masquinongy from a Virginia river: comparisons among readers, with cleithrum estimates, and with tag–recapture growth data

Abstract  The potential utility of pelvic fin rays as ageing structures was evaluated for southern US muskellunge Esox masquinongy Mitchill populations by comparing age estimates among three readers and against cleithrum estimates, and by comparing observed length changes of tagged fish with changes predicted from growth equations based on pelvic fin ray age estimates. Mean coefficient of variation in age estimates among all readers and between the two readers with prior ageing experience was 17.8% and 5.6%, respectively. Exact and within 1-year agreement rates between pelvic fin rays and cleithra were 76% and 100%, respectively. Mean (± 2 SE) estimated absolute error between observed and predicted length changes for 13 tagged muskellunge was 30 ± 14 mm. This evaluation indicated that pelvic fin rays may prove to be a useful, non-lethal method for ageing muskellunge in southern US waters. Validation studies are still needed to ensure that growth rings form consistently throughout fish's life span.     

海拔梯度对台江方竹发笋节律的影响研究

通过原产地对合江方竹不同海拔梯度发笋节律的观察和研究，得出其开始发笋期、停止发笋期及发笋数都随着海拔梯度的变化有显著或极显著的差异，海拔越高，发笋越早，停止发笋期也越早，平均发笋量3300株／667m^2。其发笋期可以划分为开始期、高峰期和停止期阶段。在海拔l200In以L开始发笋期出现在9月中旬，停止生长期出现在10月上旬；1000m以一卜开始发笋期、停止生长期分别出现在9月下旬和10月底以后；随着海拔高度平均每降低100m，开始发笋期推迟2—3d，停止发笋期随着海拔高度平均每降低100m推迟3—4d。数学模型（以9月13日为第一天），发笋开始期为K=31．333-0．02383H海拔，停止发笋期为T=64．867-0．03217H海拔；合江方竹在不同海拔梯度的发笋性状可以划分成900m以下和900m以上两类，其中900m以下具有“笋期晚发笋多（晚多）”特性；900m以上具有“笋期早发笋少（早少）”特性。     

饲料企业降低沟通成本之浅见

在生产经营活动中．说到成本．人们大都会想到直接成本与间接成本．或生产成本与营销成本等有形成本．但有一类无形成本却往往容易被忽视，那就是沟通成本。沟通成本是指由于沟通不畅等原因造成的营运成本增加。由于其无形的特征．所以由它导致的成本上升很难用一个确切的数字来描述。我国饲料工业的历史不过20余年．即使是一些成功的饲料公司也难以通过根深蒂固的企业文化来规范员工的言行。加之缺乏诚信环境和市场不规范现象比比皆是．人员流动频繁，盈利导向至上，员工缺乏系统培训即上岗．唯亲是用等，这都或多或少导致了企业内部的信息与沟通不畅，甚至阻塞逆反．互相扯皮推诿，进而导致沟通成本上升，隐性费用增加，企业市场竞争力下降。
