    Notes: Summary The in vitro decay of Aextoxicon punctatum and Fagus sylvatica wood by the fungi Trametes versicolor, Ganoderma australe, Phlebia chrysocrea and Lentinus cyathiformis was studied by the agar-block method, and then the decayed woods were analyzed by chemical and spectroscopic techniques. The results demonstrated the strong resistance of the A. punctatum wood to the brown-rot fungus L. cyathiformis; the resistance might be related to the low S/G lignin ratio in this Austral hardwood. Wood decay by the Austral white-rot fungi G. australe and P. chrysocrea was rather limited, and preferential degradation of lignin was not produced although all the fungi studied increased wood digestibility. The most characteristic white and brown-rot decay patterns were observed during the in vitro decay with T. versicolor and L. cyathiformis, respectively. Trametes versicolor caused high weight losses and reduced the lignin content of the wood, whereas L. cyathiformis produced a preferential removal of xylan. No important changes in the solid-state 13C NMR spectra were observed after wood degradation by T. versicolor, but this technique evidenced an increase in aromatic carbon by L. cyathiformis. This increase was higher than that found in the Klason lignin content, suggesting the presence of altered lignin fractions in the brown-rotted wood.

    Notes: Abstract Farmers are experts on their natural environment and are innate experimenters. However they do not know everything. Filling in gaps of missing farmer knowledge can help them improve their experiments. The authors designed and taught a course to Honduran farmers that effectively covered a number of key points on insect ecology and biology that farmers had not understood. After receiving the course many farmers did experiments to solve pest problems without synthetic pesticides.

    Notes: Summary We studied the effects of the organophosphorus insecticide methidathion, at concentrations of 10, 50, 100, 200 and 300 μg g-1 in an agricultural soil, on fungi, total bacterial populations, aerobic N2-fixing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, nitrifying bacteria (phases I and II), and nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction assay). The presence of 10–300 μg g-1 of methidathion significantly increased fungal populations (colony-forming units). Denitrifying bacteria, aerobic N2-fixing bacteria and N2 fixation were significantly increased at concentrations of 50–300 μg g-1. The total number of bacteria increased significantly at concentrations of 100–300 μg g-1. Nitrifying bacteria decreased initially at concentrations of 300 μg g-1, but recovered rapidly to levels similar to those in the control soil without the insecticide.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the distribution of different forms of N in very young (0- to 7-year-old) soils from the Meirama lignite mine in northwest Spain. Total N increased rapidly with soil age, largely in the humic acid-associated fraction. Acid hydrolysis indicated that amino acid N and a hydrolysable unknown form of N increased with soil age. The fractionation reported by Bettany et al. (1980) indicated that alkali/pyrophosphate-extractable humus increased with soil age. All these data suggest that there is rapid stabilization of organic N during the first few years of evolution of these mine soils, to the extent that distribution of N forms in the 7-year-old soil is very similar to that in native soils.

    Notes: Summary The observed kinetics of Pinus pinaster bark with acetic acid after alkali treatment, with or without intervening acid prehydrolysis, are satisfactorily explained by a model involving both solubilization and condensation reactions.

    Notes: Abstract A study of the effects of two selected organophosphorus insecticides methylpyrimifos and chlorpyrifos on soil microflora in an agricultural loam was made. The insecticides had concentrations of 10 to 300 μg g−1. The presence of methylpyrimifos at concentrations of 100 to 300 μg g−1 or chlorpyrifos at concentrations from 10 to 300 μg g−1 significantly decreased aerobic dinitrogen fixing bacteria and dinitrogen fixation. Nitrifying bacteria decreased at concentrations of 200 and 300 μg g−1 of methylpyrimifos. The presence of 10 to 300 μg g−1 of chlorpyrifos decreased the total number of bacteria. However, fungal populations and denitrifying bacteria were not affected as a consequence of the addition of the organophosphorus insecticides to the agricultural soil, showing that these microorganisms can tolerate high amounts of those insecticides.

    Notes: Abstract The potentially mineralizable organic N of 33 different soils was estimated by a chemical test (hot extraction with 2N KCl) and the values compared with those previously obtained by a biological method (aerobic incubation in the laboratory). On average, the organic N solubilized by the chemical procedure was significantly lower than that mineralized by a two weeks aerobic incubation for all the soils as a whole. The same was true for soils developed over acid rocks and over sediments. However, the values obtained for the soils developed over limestone and basic rocks were similar by both methods. The values obtained by both methods were not significantly correlated neither when considering all soils together nor when considering different groups according to soil management or parent material. Significant correlations between both methods were only found when the soils were separated into two groups according to their organic N content: soils with less than 400 mg N 100 g−1 soil and soils with more than 400 mg N 100 g−1 soil. The organic N solubilized by the chemical procedure was significantly correlated with the hexosamine-N content; however, it was not correlated with the factors that control the biological mineralization of the organic N, except with the soluble Al content. Therefore, the chemical extraction did not seem to address the biologically active N pool in a selective way.

    Notes: Abstract The ability of Rhizobium meliloti cells to denitrify in soils under several conditions was tested. All the strains tested were able to remove large amounts of N-NO3 - from soils. Both water filled pore space above 36% and temperatures above 20°C greatly increased nitrogen losses. However, even with optimal conditions for denitrification and the highest rhizobial populations found in agricultural soils, the contribution of Rhizobium to the total denitrification was virtually negligible as compared to other soil microorganisms.

    Notes: Summary A total of 125 novel accessions of Capsicum annuum L. and Capsicum baccatum L. were screened for sources of resistance to Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb). A soil infestation method with 2000 microsclerotia of V. dahliae per gram of planting medium, and a soil temperature of 25±3°C, identified 27 Capsicum accessions with resistance to Verticillium wilt. P.I. 215699 (a mixture of Capsicum baccatum var. microcarpum and Capsicum annuum), P.I. 535616 (Capsicum annuum), and P.I. 555614 (Capsicum annuum), had the lowest disease severity and the highest percentage of resistant plants.

    Notes: Abstract The N mineralization capacity of 41 temperate humid-zone soils of NW Spain was measured by aerobic incubation for 15 days at 28°C and 75% of field capacity. The main soil factors affecting organic N dynamics were identified by principal components analysis. Ammonification predominated over nitrification in almost all soils. The mean net N mineralization rate was 1.63% of the organic N content, and varied according to soil parent materials as follows: soils on basic and ultrabasic rocks 〈 soils over acid metamorphic rocks 〈 soils developed over sediments 〈 soils over acid igneous rocks 〈 soils on limestone. The N mineralization capacity was lower in natural soils than in cropped soils or pastures. The accumulation of organic matter (C and N) seems to be due to poor mineralization which was caused, in decreasing order of importance, by high exchangeable H-ion levels, high Al and Fe gel contents and, to a lesser extent (though more markedly in cropped soils), by silty clay texture and exchangeable Al ions.
