In two cultivars of carrots (Daucus carota L) drought stress was imposed at di †erent developmental stages in order to examine how the marketable and nutritional quality was inÑuenced. Experiments were conducted on both a sandy loam soil and a coarse sandy soil. Although drought stress during a 3-we

✦ Synopsis
In üeld experiments, the eþ ects of potassium and magnesium nutrition on the quality components of diþ erent types of tea, including black tea, oolong tea and green tea, were studied. The results show that K and Mg fertilizer application increased the contents of free amino acids and caffeine of the various tea types with the maximum increase found in the treatment including both nutrients. The content of polyphenols in tea leaves was also increased by K application. The eþ ect of Mg on polyphenol content was inconsistent. In general, Mg apparently decreased the content of polyphenols and only in case the soils were depleted of plant available K and Mg, a slight increase could be observed. The contents of theaýavins and thearubigins, important quality components of brewed black tea, were also increased by K application. Flavour compounds in brewed oolong tea were considerably improved by K and Mg application.

## Summary A view holds that expertise level depends on practice alone and that certain types of practice are important or unimportant. Supporting evidence largely comes from studies using a correlational retrospective recall paradigm, usually with small samples. Initially, these studies were parti
