This is partially due to the reduction in tillage , reduction in herbicidal use and the evolution of herbicidal resistance in several species where herbicides have ...
Grain growth has long been studied primarily by the examination of sectioned, polished and etched samples under the optical microscope.Although such methods enabled the collection of a great deal of empirical evidence, particularly with regard to factors such as temperature or composition, the lack of crystallographic information limited the development of an understanding of the fundamental ...
