Vegetables planting

Xyloglucans are classified as gum when they are extractable with hot water from seed endosperm cell walls, such as the tamarind seed xyloglucan, and as hemicelluloses because they are alkali-extractable from the cell walls of vegetative plant tissues where they are closely associated with cellulose [2]. Also /3-glucans with mixed linkages appear under the name gum as well as hemicellulose in the literature. 

Early rhizosphere establishment is demonstrated in 2-3 day-old wheat plants when there is a shift towards a population of amino acid requiring bacteria (19). Maximum activity and numbers of rhizosphere microorganisms correlated with maximum vegetative plant development (20-22). Once established, the rhizosphere remains qualitatively similar, but quantitatively increases from seedling stage to maturity (23). After maturity the bacterial population reverts to a population similar to that in non-rhizospheric soils. 

Lead may be taken up in edible plants from the soil via the root system, by direct foliar uptake and translocation within the plant, and by surface deposition of particulate matter. The amount of lead in soil that is bioavailable to a vegetable plant depends on factors such as cation exchange capacity, pH, amount of organic matter present, soil moisture content, and the type of amendments added to the soil.

Table 15.2 The influence of zearalenone on the generative development of nine winter wheat varieties. Isolated wheat embryos were cultured in sterile conditions on Murashige and Skoog (1962) media supplemented with 0 (control) and 2.00 mg/dm3 of zearalenone during 14 days at 5°C (vernalization). After this period, plants were transferred to soil and cultivated at 20/17°C. The number of heading and vegetative plants was fixed after 100 days from vernalization. The length of the phase from vernalization to flowering was determined in days...

When replacing perennial vegetable plants, or dividing and replanting (see p.l93), do not replant on the same site. Check for pests and diseases on perennial crops, especially those such as nine-star broccoli that are related to other vegetables. Pests and diseases that become established on perennial crops can be a source of infection for other plants. 

Susceptible plants Young vegetable plants, especially lettuce and brassicas also carrot, celery, beet, potato, strawberry, and many ornamentals. 

Rotation of plant famihes (closely related plants) is yet another means of reducing insect and disease problems. Famihes of plants tend to be susceptible to mai of the same insect, disease and nematode problems. By grouping vegetable plants into famihes and moving each family to a different loeation within the garden every year, mai r insect and disease problems can be reduced. Table 1 lists several vegetable groups which can be rotated to help reduce pest problems. 

Plant supports can be an important part of the organic garden. They make plants easier to tend and harvest and extend the harvest season. More importantly, supported vegetable plants have fewer disease and insect problems because of improved air circulation and less contact with wet, disease-infested soil. 

Reflective plastic mulch in various colors and aluminum foil mulch can be used to repel thrips and aphids on some vegetables. Reducing aphid and thrips infestations may also reduce the spread of virases carried by these insects. These mulches apparently confuse thrips and aphids, making it more difficult for them to locate vegetable plants. 

Sometimes it may be desirable to add nutrients in a form more quickly available or more concentrated than those derived from the above soil-building techniques. It may also be desirable to adjust the soil acidity so the nutrients present are more available to vegetable plants. There are a number of ways to add nutrients and adjust soil pH that are acceptable to organic gardeners.

The extraction of vegetable plant-material requires careful selection of raw materials, in connection with chemical analysis, because the content of the vegetables to be extracted can vary substantially. Also the possibility of high concentrations of undesired substances - either contained within them, or contaminations such as pesticides - can influence the product quality enormously. Exhaustive extraction is not always possible with acceptable effort, owing to the vegetable structure, and the extraction efficiency using low-quality raw materials may be too poor to allow economic processing.
