GibberelHc acid is also used successfliUy in rice culture to promote seed germination and the growth of semidwarf varieties. The treated seed can be planted deeper than normal. In addition, the sprouting seedlings are much taller than the untreated ones they compete weU against weeds. The material is sold under the trade name Release. 

Naphthalene acetic acid is used to thin apple and pear blossoms and to control apple and pear preharvest drop (10). It also is used to induce flowering in pineapple, but conversely inhibits sprouting in potatoes, sweet potatoes, and turnips (Brassica rapd) (23). It also is used to promote rooting in... 

The main by-products from the malting industry are malt sprouts, cleanout material, and small-kernel barley. Malt sprouts are primarily dried malt rootiets, containing 24—26% protein, 2—3% fat, and 12—14% fiber. Since the protein is readily available, malt sprouts are used in various animal feed blends. Occasionally, malt hulls and barley chaff are blended with malt sprouts. The remainder of the cleanout material and small kernel barley is sold as feed.

Starch is converted enzymatically toglucose either by diastase present in sprouting grain or by fungal amylase. The resulting dextrose is fermented to ethanol with the aid of yeast, producing CO2 as a coproduct. Other by-products depend on the type of process.

The Andritz-Sprout-Bauer attrition miU (Fig. 20-51) is available in single- and double-runner models with 30- to 91-cm- (12- to 36-in.-) diameter disks and with power ranging up to 750 kW (1000 hp). By the use of a variety of plates and sheirconstruciions these units are represented in such applications as coarse granulating, piilveriz-ing, and shredding.

Arable farmers in the UK rarely grow more than one crop in a year, but horticulturalists may grow two or more crops in a year on the same soil, so the question of crop sequences is more intense for them, particularly as Brassica vegetables, such as cabbages and brussel sprouts, can leave large organic as well as mineral nitrogen residues. 

This slow diffusion of a crucial new technique can be compared with the invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) by Binnig and Rohrer, first made public in 1983, like X-ray diffraction rewarded with the Nobel Prize 3 years later, but unlike X-ray diffraction quickly adopted throughout the world. That invention, of comparable importance to the discoveries of 1912,now(2 decades later) has sprouted numerous variants and has virtually created a new branch of surface science. With it, investigators can not only see individual surface atoms but they can also manipulate atoms singly (Eigler and Schweitzer 1990). This rapid adoption of...
