Bitumen mulch was sprayed over maize drills in 15--20-cm bands at a thickness of 1--2 ram. The maximum soil temperature recorded at a depth of 10 cm was up to 4.3°C higher in the mulched plots compared to the control plots. During the growing season the maize in the mulched plots had consistently h

## Abstract Electrophoretic differences between the myofibrillar proteins of fresh porcine __longissimus dorsi__ and __psoas__ muscles, still detectable after freeze‐drying at a plate temperature of 60°C, largely disappear when the temperature is 80°C.
## Abstract The effect of drying temperature (ambient, 58, 80, 110 °C) on the nutritional quality of grain from two New Zealand maize hybrids (P3476, P3730) grown at two locations (Bay of Plenty, Waikato) was studied in growing rats, and the results of the biological evaluation were compared with t
## Abstract A method was developed to test separately on crops the compounds formed when a granule of concentrated superphosphate hydrolyses in soil. An amount of monocalcium phosphate (MCP) equal to that in a granule of superphosphate was placed in a small glass tube with glass fibre filter paper
## Abstract At the laboratory scale, sudden step increases from 30 to 42°C can be readily accomplished when expressing heterologous proteins in heat‐inducible systems. However, for large scale‐cultures only slow ramp‐type increases in temperature are possible due to heat transfer limitations, where
