I m away from the center of things now and it is hard for me to "coridor discuss" my ideas with professionals. so the internet bring distant close. I work for a sod farm we have decided to put the money on our mouths and transform our irrigation system into a mini sprinkler system ( all 80 hectare of sod production). this involve some expanse so I tried it this year in small scale (3 hectare). the benefits are many so I won’t count it here. but I m concerned with the R&D aspect. I think that if we go into a computerized, stand put, irrigation system we should rationalize our irrigation and go for a more accurate irrigation and nutrition. my experience lead me to use lysimeters (weight). I have worked with both weight and drain lyzimeters. I think a system of: 3 1X1 meter replications should be enough for statistical purposes as fluctuations will probably be minimal. I m not sure about the growth medium. 1. - local soil- problematic in many aspects, but..... 2. - medium that will teach us about artificial medium sod production 3. - perlite 2 - the best medium. I intend to have a set of weights (12) connected to a central computer. during the first stage I will be collecting data and comparing the lyzimeters while the sod is established then after 2 months if all goes well I want the system to produce daily "water needed" figure based on w. consumption of last day. third stage the system will irrigate automatically: weight below base line-> irrigation cycle is triggered, weight too high irrigation is delayed. I will work with 4 vars. Kikuyu, 2 Zoysia vars., derben grass. litrature has a lot of lyzi work in grassland but for different aspects. please comment. hovav From owner-grasses@net.bio.net Mon Aug 07 23:00:00 1995 Newsgroups: bionet.biology.grasses Path: biosci!bcm!pendragon!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!news.gmi.edu!msunews!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!news.cs.su.oz.au!metro!asstdc.scgt.oz.au!percy.scgt.oz.au!homer!peter From: peter@homer.scgt.oz.au (Peter Leroy) Subject: Re: Indoor Grass?

As part of the team involved in developing an indoor stadium with a natural turfgrass surface I was faced with the same question. It may not seem obvious at first , but I am sure you will appreciate that I am unable to give you specifics. However you will need to become aware of the following areas. a) Environmental (above ground) control systems. b) Soil moisture / temperature monitoring and control systems. c) The effects of air-conditioning and 'wear' tolerances on turfgrasses. d) Selection of turfgrasses for reduced light. e) Adaption of tufgrass maintenance for indoor use. f) Suitable roofing materials Once you have gained this background, then you can begin the actual construction phase :] I assume you are considering such a task for permanent application.

Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use Mosaic or another World Wide Web browser and connect to the BIOSCI WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. Select the hypertext link to the BIOSCI archives. This gives you read access to all newsgroup messages and the ability to search the indexes described below. You can also use gopher software and connect over the Internet to net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI computer. We maintain three indexes which are searchable from the main gopher menu on net.bio.net: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). WAIS software can also be used to search the archives as described in the BIOSCI FAQ (see below). Finally, the BIOSCI archive files are accessible by anonymous FTP to net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in the directory pub/BIOSCI. **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and fix problems that you might encounter in using the newsgroups. The FAQ and other BIOSCI documentation is available through our WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. It is also available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/doc/biosci.FAQ or for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70. It may also be requested by sending the command info faq in the body of an e-mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net. Please do not enter the info faq command on the Subject: line of your message since the e-mail server ignores text on the Subject: line. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. Below is the address form that we would like each reader of the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups to complete and return if you would like to be listed in our database. The database serves as a directory that enables biologists, who are currently using (or even just reading) the BIOSCI newsgroups, to look up e-mail addresses and other information about our users. The address database is reindexed nightly for WAIS, waismail, gopher, and WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net). If you have access to gopher, connect to net.bio.net to search the database.

The ISU institute teaches basic methods and principles in ethics to life science faculty members, focusing on those who deal with the environment, food, nutrition, animals, and agriculture. The institute equips faculty to introduce discussions of ethical issues into existing science courses. Three philosophers, Professors Fred Gifford and Tom Tomlinson (Michigan State) and Gary Comstock (Iowa State), will be joined by internationally recognized experts in ethics to lecture on moral theory and to lead discussion sessions of pedagogy. The institute provides case studies, classroom exercises, bibliographies, and other practical strategies used successfully by life scientists to introduce ethics into their classes. Possible issues to be covered: - Intellectual property rights - Honesty and integrity in scientific research - Environmental ethics and intrinsic value of ecosystems - Labelling of genetically engineered foods - Animal welfare and rights - Justice between developed and developing economies - Risk assessment and the politics of uncertainty - Feminist moral theory - The place of human beings in nature Stipend: All participants will receive $250. Requirements: Applicants must be tenured or tenure-track life science faculty members. The institutions of out-of-town applicants must commit funds to cover applicant's travel, lodging, and meals. Applicants promise to introduce the equivalent of at least one hour-long discussion of ethics into each semester-length class they teach.

The following treatment gives some germination: Dry seeds are plated on blotters soaked with 0.1% KNO3 and the Petri dish is placed in refrigerator until the blotters are dry. The seeds are now plated on blotters soaked with plain water and after about one week a root-like structure appears at the basal end (but only on a few seeds). These seeds are then transfered to peat soil. One to two weeks later green shoots appear. Do you have some hints which I could try giving higher percentage of germination.
