Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUtilization and Modification of Point Sampling and Line Sampling in the Forestry SurveyDifei ZhangProblem statement: In the practice of conventional point sampling and line sampling methods in the forestry survey, we often encounter problems such as boundary and hole problems. These problems could introduce bias in the results of forest sampling. Proper modifications are needed. Approach: This study developed novel probability computation approaches in the utilization and modification of horizontal point sampling and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,676 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGIS Mapping of Basal Stem Rot Disease in Relation to Soil Series Among Oil Palm SmallholdersK. Parthiban, R. Vanitah, K. Jusoff et al.Basal Stem Rot (BSR) is a disease caused by fungus which affect oil palm tree. This study aims to visualize the geographical distribution of BSR incidence among oil palm smallholders in Selangor using Geographical Information System (GIS) and its relationship to the type of soil series. The geographical distribution of BSR incidence of smallholders in Selangor were mapped using 168 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2016 · 8,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance and Biomass Accumulation of a Khaya ivorensis Plantation in three Soil Series of UltisolsYetti Heryati, Debora Belawan, Arifin Abdu et al.Abstract: Problem statement: There was no information about the relationship between growth parameters, such as diameter and height and tree component biomass of Khaya ivorensis plantations with different soil types. The objectives of this study were, first, to determine and compare the growth of K. ivorensis in three different (Padang Besar, Durian and Rengam) soil series of Ultisols and, second, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 10,170 accessesView PDF Cite
