Abstract: Abstract: Demand for goat meat in the eastern USA is growing as a result of preference by ethnic communities. Meat goat production systems in the southeastern USA should be designed to take advantage of the goats' natural preference for browse. Trees could contribute to system productivity by supplying required nutrients when demand by growing animals is critical and the quality of forage is limited. A field study was established in Wake County, NC to evaluate the establishment and early growth characteristics of three leguminous tree species, Robinia pseudoacacia, Gleditsia triacanthos, and Albizia julibrissin. The three tree species were planted in single-row plots following a randomized complete block design (3 X 2 X 2, replicated six times) with two planting densities (intra-row spacing of 50 or 100 cm) and two coppice heights (25 or 50 cm). Bare-root seedlings were planted in March 1995, evaluated for browse quality (composited samples) in August 1995, coppiced in February 1996, evaluated for herbage mass and quality in July 1996, and evaluated for goat preference in August 1996. Herbage mass produced during the second season ranged from about 200 (G. tricanthos) to 3,200 kg/ha (R. pseudoacacia). Estimates of herbage quality were high for all species. Crude protein and acid detergent fiber of leaflets ranged from 23 to 28% and 12 to 22%, respectively. Robinia pseudoacacia has a high potential as a browse species for goats due to high herbage production (mean of 2,390 kg/ha) and goat preference. Gleditsia triacanthos was judged to be a low value browse species. Albizia julibrissin, although not highly preferred by goats in the trial holds sufficient potential to warrant further investigation.

Abstract: Similarity among the floral scents of hawkmoth-pollinated plants was investigated with headspace samplings. Six of seven plant species belonging to different families were found to be rich in isoprenoids, among which linalool was the most common compound. Linalool showed rhythmicity with a nocturnal increase in Lonicera japonica. These findings suggest that linalool is a common attractant for nocturnal hawkmoths. However, the composition of other isoprenoids, benzenoids and fatty acid derivatives varied markedly among the plant species examined. There was a significant correlation between species composition of flower-visiting hawkmoths and specific floral scents, suggesting that attractiveness to each hawkmoth species is dependent upon floral scent.

Abstract: On highly-weathered Ultisols of the Georgia (USA) Piedmont, a combination of no-till agriculture and alley cropping presents an option for rapidly increasing soil nitrogen availability while restoring long-term soil fertility. Three years after the establishment of Albizia julibrissin hedgerows and no-till agriculture trials, we measured inorganic soil nitrogen (NO3-N and NH4+-N) and net nitrogen mineralization during a 4-month field study and a 14-day laboratory study . We also measured the influence of tree leaf amendments on grain sorghum production and N uptake. Soil nitrate increased four-fold within two weeks of adding Albizia leaf mulch. Soil ammonium did not increase as rapidly nor to the same extent after tree mulch addition. Averaged over the 4-month study, soil nitrate and ammonium were 2.8 and 1.4 times higher in the alley-cropped than in the treeless no-till plots. Net nitrification and mineralization were no higher in the alley cropping plots, during either field or laboratory incubations. Tree mulch additions enhanced crop biomass production and N uptake 2 to 3.5 times under both high and low soil moisture conditions. Our study demonstrates the dramatic short-term impacts of Albizia mulch addition on plant available nitrogen. Combined with no-till practices, alley cropping with Albizia hedges offers Piedmont farmers an option for reducing reliance upon chemical N fertilizer while improving soil organic matter levels.

Abstract: Distribution of 31 popular plants (Tab. 1 and Figs. 2 to 17) in Gunma Prefecture, central Japan was surveyed in cooperation with local botanists. Reynoutria sachalinensis is detected only in the northernmost part of the prefecture. Others are wide-spread or decreasing from south to north. Three groups are recognized by comparing their distribution density between northern and southern parts of the prefecture. Albizia julibrissin is nearly absent in northern part unlike its popularity in other prefectures.

Abstract: An alley cropping system (AC), using Albizia julibrissin as the tree species, was compared to an annual legume-based cropping system (NA) over a three-year period. In both AC and NA, a crop rotation was implemented with the following sequence: Mucuna deeringiana, Trifolium incarnatum, Sorghum bicolor, Triticale aestivum, and Sorghum bicolor. Aboveground biomass of crops was analyzed for C, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg. A soil fractionation method was used to determine P dynamics in different treatments through time. Aboveground net primary productivity (NPP) was higher in the AC than in the NA. Nutrient input-output balance of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg from January through November 1991 was higher for AC than for NA. Area-based sorahum yield in 1991 was tower in AC than in NA. comparative sorghum yield in 1991 at 1 m distance from the hedgerow was lower than NA sorghum. In a three year period, the alleycropping system seemed to be more efficient in tapping unavailable forms of soil P, and achieved a higher P stock than the annual legume-based cropping system.

Abstract: Field experiments were conducted to compare plant residue decomposition and nitrogen (N) dynamics in an alley cropping system (AC) and an annual legume-based cropping system (NA) in the Piedmont region of Georgia, USA. The hedgerows of the alley cropping system consisted of Albizia julibrissin (albizia) established in January 1990. Hedges were four meters apart with a spacing within rows of one-half meter. A rotation beginning with Mucuna deeringiana (velvet bean) followed by a winter annual crop of Trifolium incarnatum L. (crimson clover), a summer crop of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (grain sorghum) and a winter crop of Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) was established in the alley cropping system and a control annual cropping system. All crops were grown using no-tillage systems. Plant residue decomposition and N dynamics were measured using litterbag technologies on crimson clover, albizia, and grain sorghum. Soil and plant total N, decay rate constants (k) for dry matter, soil potentially mineralizable N, and nitrification rates were determined. Decay rate constants for N were best correlated with the lignin content of the plant residues. No residue quality parameter was significantly correlated with decay rate for dry matter. There was no significant difference between AC and NA systems in soil inorganic N and potentially mineralizable N; however, nitrification rates were greater in the AC. Grain sorghum N uptake and biomass production were not different for AC and NA. This was thought to be due to large inputs of organic N prior to the start of the experiment.

Title: Effects of potential plant CS2 emissions on bacterial growth in the rhizosphere.

Abstract: Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a volatile, flammable, foul-smelling liquid with bacteriostatic, fungicidal, nematicidal and insecticidal properties. Some plants emit CS2. The present study was designed to determine if CS2 emissions from Mimosa pudica could inhibit the rhizosphere growth of six different bacterial species. Albizia julibrissin, a plant that does not emit CS2 and is closely related to M. pudica, was used as a negative control. Two pseudomonads, streptomycetes and rhizobia were each inoculated at a concentration of 10(5) colony-forming units (CFU) plant-1 into assemblies with and without a gnotobiotically grown M. pudica or A. julibrissin plant. Roots of M. pudica and A. julibrissin had a variable effect on bacterial growth. Neither plant inhibited pseudomonad nor rhizobial growth on the rhizoplane or in the rhizosphere, but both plants inhibited streptomycete growth on the rhizoplane and in the rhizosphere. However, the inhibition of streptomycete growth was temporary and after 7 days, little difference in streptomycete numbers was observed between assemblies with a plant and assemblies without a plant but with an added carbon source. Similar results were observed in a competition study between a rhizobium and a streptomycete on the rhizoplane and in the rhizosphere of M. pudica except the streptomycete counts did not recover to the same extent after 7 days. In CS2 studies, the growth of all six bacterial species was inhibited by 155 ng CS2 ml-1, and with two exceptions, to a lesser extent by 1.9 ng CS2 ml-1. It is unlikely that CS2 inhibited streptomycete growth because the streptomycetes were inhibited by A. julibrissin (which does not emit CS2), and little relationship was observed between the inhibition of streptomycete growth in assemblies with M. pudica plants and in assemblies with CS2. Abstract: rhizosphere of M. pudica and A. julibrissin are responsible for the inhibition of streptomycete growth.

Abstract: Abstracts: Performance of nymphs and adults of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), depended on their legume diet and on whether the food of nymphs and adults was the same or different. No nymphs survived to adults on leaves or stems of Glycine max (L.) Merrill (cv. Bedford), or on green pods of Albizia julibrissin Durazzini, Chamaecrista fasciculata (Michaux) Greene, Indigofera hirsuta L., and Sesbania vesicaria (Jacquin) Elliott. When the pod wall of S. vesicaria (which is separated by a large airspace from the seeds) was removed, the immature seeds provided intermediate nymphal mortality, fast development, and high body weight of new adults. Green pods of Sesbania emerus (Aublet) Urban were a superior food, whereas intermediate nymphal performance occurred on green pods of Phaseolus vulgaris L., Desmodium tortuosum (Swartz) DeCandolle, and G. max , and immature seeds of the latter.
