It is suggested that cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with regulated growth and development would be able to produce higher yields under water-limited conditions, which is crucial in future food production. Water use efficiency (WUE) is worthy of exploration in this regard. In this study, the effects of nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 40 and 80 kg Nha(-1)) and a plant growth retardant (Chl

EU har utfärdat ny lagstiftning angående deponering av avfall. Konsekvenserna av denna nya lagstiftning är att sammansättningen på avfallet som deponeras kommer att ändras drastiskt och det kommer även de kemiska och fysiska förhållandena i deponin. Fråga är hur detta kommer att påverka utsläppen från deponin. Eftersom väldigt låga halter nedbrytbart avfall tillåts deponeras antar lagstiftningen aNew legislation concerning the landfilling of waste has been issued from the European Union. The consequence of the new legislation is that the composition of the waste being landfilled will change drastically and so will the chemical and physical conditions in the landfill. The question is how this will affect the emissions from landfills. Since very low amounts of biodegradable waste are allowed
