Economic analysis of small scale organic farming in mid-range alpine context : a case study implemented at la Berthe Farm, Savoie, France
(Master thesis, 2015-12-03)The future of agriculture is an essential issue for the next decades. One of the most sustainable answers to it is Agroecology. Collective farms developing organic small scale agriculture are a promising alternative to ... -
The effect of crop diversification in small fields on the community of natural enemies on the ground: A strip cropping experiment with white cabbage in the Netherlands
(Master thesis, 2020)Agricultural development has contributed significantly to the decline in biodiversity over the last century. Crop diversification is promoted as a strategy to mitigate this ongoing catastrophe. This study investigates the ... -
Effect of microoganisms on gluten quality in wheat
(Master thesis, 2017)Food security is a current issue of both domestic and international concern. Faced with a growing population and the increased food demands it entails, the Norwegian government has recently renewed its commitment to increase ... -
The Effect of UV Radiation on Myzus persicae and the Biological Control Agent Aphidius colemani
(Master thesis, 2020)Greenhouse light technologies are advancing, giving new opportunities in pest management such as UV treatments against pathogenic fungi. Little is known about how these methods affect other relevant organisms in protected ... -
Effects of daylight and high light periods on growth and quality of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Master thesis, 2014-08-12)The effect of high light intensities in form of daylight and simulated daylight conditions on the growth and quality of the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was investigated. In the daylight experiments, cultures ... -
Effects of gamma radiation on growth and development in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Master thesis, 2015-07-28)Different types of abiotic stresses are known to have strong impact on morphological development of plants. Exposure of plants to ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation is potentially damaging, but effects may vary ... -
Effects of light quality and temperature on elongation growth, dormancy and bud burst in Norway spruce (Picea Abies) and subalpine fir (Abies Lasiocarpa)
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)Elongation growth and bud development in northern perennials is under photoperiodic control. This preparation for a colder season is induced by a shorter day than the critical day for growth and development. Light quality ... -
Effects of temperature on dehydrin expression in mature somatic embryos of Norway spruce (Picea abies)
(Master thesis, 2018)Abstract: This master thesis deals with genetic and epigenetic effects in two genotypes (denoted A2K and B10) of in vitro derived somatic embryos (SEs) of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst at different temperature ... -
Effects of UV radiation and air humidity on morphology, stomatal function and photosynthesis of Euphorbia pulcherrima
(Master thesis, 2015-07-16)The combined effects of relative air humidity (RH) and UV radiation were tested on three cultivars of Euphorbia pulcherrima (Willd ex. Klotzch) at different ontogenetic stages in controlled environment growth chambers. In ... -
Effekt av forskjellige temperaturklima på vekst og utvikling hos seks norske kloner av humle (Humulus lupulus L.)
(Master thesis, 2016-08-11)Humle (Humulus lupulus L) har lang tradisjon som kulturplante i Norge, men kunnskapen om dyrking av planten er i stor grad borte her i landet. De siste årene har mikrobryggerinæringen vært interessert i lokale råvarer ... -
Effekt av jordtype og naboskap på blomstring i tidlig restaureringsfase
(Master thesis, 2015-02-26)Menneskeskapte endringer i landskapet og innføring av fremmede arter er noen av de mange miljøutfordringene vi har her i Norge. Et viktig skritt for å sikre det biologiske mangfoldet og økosystemprosesser nå og for ... -
Effekt av ulike lyskilder på planter i kontormiljø
(Master thesis, 2016-08-11)For å undersøke hvordan forskjellige lyskilder påvirket vekst hos innendørsplanter i kontormiljø ble det satt opp et forsøk med 3 forskjellige lyskilder. Lysrør, metallhalogen og LED-belysning ble montert i respektive ... -
Elevated phosphorus Retention after facilitating phytase efficacy via intermittent feeding and acidification
(Master thesis, 2019)The over-exploitation of phosphorus (P) reservoir is becoming one of the major concerns in poultry industry due to the limited stock of P. Secretion of endogenous phytase in monogastric animals is insufficient to break ... -
Empowering youth learning organizations through adoption of ecological agriculture in Kenya: focusing on the future
(Master thesis, 2014-08-12)Formal organic agriculture in Kenya dates back to the early 1980s when the first pioneer organic training institutions were established. Initial efforts to promote organic agriculture in Kenya were made by rural development ... -
Epigenetic effects of temperature during embryogenesis on climatic adaptation traits in Norway spruce (Picea abies) : studies of cold hardiness, gene expression and epigenetic marks
(Master thesis, 2019)Norway spruce (Picea abies) is known to have an epigenetic memory of temperature during embryogenesis, which affects phenological traits in the trees more than 20 years later. This memory was first shown in trees from ... -
