But first, just what is evolution's Big Bang? The cover of this issue of Time declared: "New discoveries show that life as we know it began in an amazing biological frenzy that changed the planet almost overnight." A subheading just in front of the inside article proclaimed, "For billions of years, simple creatures lik...

The potential answers to that dilemma are only creating more questions, questions that evolutionists may never be able to answer. This notion of the gradualness of the evolutionary process...

same problems they accuse creationists of stumbling over: a process that was unique to the past, unobservable in any shape or form, and unrepeatable. Stuart Kaufmann, a leader in complexity theory, places his faith in self-organizing systems that spontaneously give rise to order out of chaos--a sort of a naturalistic,...

Avoiding the Diet Downfall By: Jonathan Fass, CSCS There are quite a few things in life that I prefer over being on a diet: Watching a 24-hour marathon of Barney is one, possibly wrestling Star Jones in a pool of jello is another. Oh, and not being on a diet. Without question, most of us would rather be chained to a fr...

However the recommendation process recognizes some growing seasons are different due to more leaching rains or increases in crop value that can lead to prolonged harvest windows.

Even given the best of production systems, N use efficiency rarely exceeds 70% of the applied N. Concepts and practices fo...

1). Yields (100% RY) ranged from 250 to 420 cartons per acre. Sprinkler irrigation was used on a Dover, Florida, paper-mulched pepper field where varying rates of N fertilizer were applied in the 1970 and 1971 seasons (Albregts 1971). Initial soil nitrate-N concentrations were chemically determined from water extracts ...

Leaf N concentrations of about 4% were associated with highest yields. A factorial study of 12 N sources, three N rates, applied in banded or broadcast ap...

and mulched (1974). Pepper yields, with and without mulch in spring 1976, were greatest with CR-N sources—IBDU and SCU-1 and -3 (37 and 32% dissolution in 7 days) with the 200 lb/acre N rate; the 275 lb/acre N rate was not tested. Of the soluble N sources, NH 4NO 3 alone resulted in peak yields with 200 lb/acre N when...

/acre N as the optimum N rate for overhead-irrigated and nonmulched pepper. In an early study on unmulched pepper in 1961, two levels of 10-10-10 fertilizer (300 and 350 lb/acre) were applied in biweekly side dressings. There was an interaction between fertilizer rate and variety in which increasing the fertilizer rate...

Nitrogen at 25 lb/acre was applied preplant to a low bed then covered with four inches of soil, with additional N from KNO 3 and NH 4NO 3 (70% NO 3-N, 30% NH 4-N) applied in two bed-surface shoulder bands. Despite a long harvest season and high rainfall in the three trial periods, N and ...

N (significant difference). Nitrogen fertilization experiments with pepper were conducted in Live Oak at the SVREC on Lakeland fine sand in spring 1992 (Fletcher et al. 1993).
