Dafermos, N.G.; Kasselaki, A.M.; Malathrakis, N.E. and Leifert, C. (2007) Integration of fertility management, cultivar selection and alternative spray treatments to optimize control of foliar diseases of greenhouse grown tomatoes. Paper at: 3rd QLIF Congress: Improving Sustainability in Organic and Low Input Food Production Systems, University of Hohenheim, Germany, March 20-23, 2007.
Powdery mildew caused by Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn. is one of the most serious foliar diseases of greenhouse and open field tomato. The disease is currently controlled with the use of organic fungicides and sulphur, the latter being the only product permitted in organic crops. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of controlling the disease by integrating: a) hybrids of low susceptibility to the disease, b) organic fertilisers (chitin) and c) alternative spray treatments. Some of the combinations of the above factors were highly effective in decreasing the percentage of disease severity. Specifically the combination of the hybrid of low susceptibility with the addition of chitin in the substrate and the spray treatment Milsana®+chitosan, was equally effective to sulphur. These results indicate that the combination of the above factors could probably be used as an alternative to sulphur for control of L. taurica in the greenhouse.

Train companies in the East Midlands are losing their battle with punctuality, according to a rail watchdog.
The Strategic Rail Authority has revealed that only 47% of Virgin Trains, which run through Derbyshire and other parts of the Midlands, arrive within 10 minutes of the timetable.
Midland Mainline's punctuality for October to December 2002 fell by 8% to 62.4% compared to a year earlier, according to the figures.
Central Trains, which runs a service from Nottingham to Birmingham, saw its punctuality fall by 6% to 61.5% for the same period.
Nationally, the figures showed that train punctuality improved by about 2% - from 71% in the last three months in 2001, to 73% in the last three months of 2002.
Alan Meredith of the Rail Passengers Committee for the Midlands said the performance was worrying: "Despite massive spending, services do not seem to be getting better."
He said new schedules introduced last year caused havoc as track capacity in the Birmingham area could not handle the changes.
These changes created bottlenecks which affected both Virgin Trains and Central Trains, which run many services through Birmingham.
Mr Meredith said Midland Mainline had rolling stock and signalling problems during the period and was also affected by the remodelling of St Pancras Station.
He said figures for the most recent quarter showed some improvement with Central Trains showing a significant improvement to 74% reliabilty, partly because the Birmingham bottlenecks had been ironed out.
Virgin Cross Country - a service that covers most of Britain - was the worst performing operator, running only 47.6% of trains on time compared with 58.3% in the earlier three-month period.
Both Midland Mainline and Central Trains have blamed the poor performance partly on adverse weather conditions during the winter.
For long-distance services, a train is considered on time if it arrives within 10 minutes of its scheduled arrival.
For London and South East operators and also for regional operators, a train is on time if it arrives within five minutes of its scheduled arrival.


It's 2018 and the latest technology industry craze is a fad that gripped middle schoolers in the year 2000: scooters.
VCs near and far are throwing their expendable investment dollars at companies like Spin, Bird, and Lime, which plop scooters onto busy streets in the hopes that pedestrians will use them to get to their destinations slightly faster. (Spoiler: They do.) All of these companies have attracted high-profile venture backers–including Alphabet, Uber, and Andreessen Horowitz–and at least two of the companies are said to be worth over a billion dollars.
As you may have guessed, it's not just about the scooters. The real thing that makes the Silicon Valley elite weak at the knees is data–especially when it's in aggregate and vacuumed up with abandon. According to the ACLU, this is exactly what these scooter startups are doing.
With privacy scandals in the news almost daily, digital rights advocates have been calling on tech companies to more clearly explain their data policies and terms of service. With the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where millions of Facebook users' personal data was unknowingly collected by a third party, the onus was placed on the platform to be less opaque. The ACLU writes that all three scooter companies should be more upfront with their privacy policies, as a way to prove transparency and build user trust.
For years now, technology companies have built entire business models around questionable and flagrant data collection, but consumers and regulators may finally be at a breaking point.
For the time being, all we can do is become more knowledgeable about what these platforms are doing—and what they can do. The ACLU blog post is a good start. You can read it here.
Spin's mission is to help people move around cities and campuses in a fast and environmentally-friendly way. We are constantly learning from our riders through surveys, interviews and app usage, and these insights help us improve our products and operations. As an example, we study popular pick-up and drop-off spots to decide where to drop off scooters every morning; we can also track the routes to inform users if they are riding in unpermitted or unsafe areas. However, we always put our riders first and do not sell user data to third parties.


We have completely transformed our concepts for distribution centres taking into account economic, ecological and social aspects. New approaches involving reduced floor layouts and extended order-picking sections require much smaller plot sizes and blend in perfectly with their surroundings thanks to site-specific adjustments.
Compact designs and well thought-out processes result in flexible warehousing and office structures for attractive, future-orientated distribution centres.
Our distributions centres blend in with their surroundings through individual façade designs.
We attach great importance to natural lighting, energy-saving LED lamps and effective building automation. Energy-efficient cooling also forms part of the concept.
We plan development in such a way that the impact on nature is kept to an absolute minimum. Our solar panels and CO2 saving measures help us to protect the environment.
We are constantly working on optimising our emission figures and energy consumption in order to create an environmentally-friendly warehouse concept.
Due to individual planning and designs, the distribution centres blend in perfecly with the surrounding environment.
The newly designed delivery areas with a lounge for employees and suppliers create a sophisticated and pleasant work environment.
During redesign, we focused on natural lighting, modern workplace furnishings and optimised the product-picking processes.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding our distribution centres or any of our other store concepts. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

David Schwimmer originally turned down Friends
Friends co-creator David Crane has revealed how he had to persuade David Schwimmer to star in Friends after he initially turned the role down.
The 53-year-old actor originally passed up the offer of playing the iconic Ross Geller, but the sitcom's producers were desperate to cast him and used their magic to get him to change his mind.
Spilling all the details on The One Show, David admitted that Schwimmer was the first out of the six main characters to land their role.
'He had come in and auditioned for us for a pilot the year before and the show didn't go and he didn't get the part,' he began.
'But as we were writing Friends and we came up with the idea of Ross, we kept thinking David Schwimmer would be great for this.
'He didn't want to do it because he was back doing theatre and we had to persuade him to come back to television.'
David then confessed that Jennifer Aniston was the last star to be cast in Friends because she was doing another series.
'She [Jennifer] was the only one who could get it right,' David said. 'We saw so many girls in wedding dresses come in and she nailed it and so we rolled the dice and that the other show would fail.'
A number of huge A-lister celebrities made cameo appearances over the 10 years that Friends was on the air, including the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Brad Pitt.
'We would write the roles first, we would never go after people,' David revealed.
'And then the casting people would say, "Oh Julia Roberts wants to do it," and we'd be like, "Okay, that sounds good, let's do that."'
The One Show returns on Friday at 7pm on BBC One and Friends is available to stream on Netflix.

Covid-19: Ramaphosa to hold high level meeting ahead of planned announcement on restrictions

President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Netwerk24
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to chair the President's Coordinating Council on Wednesday.
This comes ahead of a planned announcement on restrictions to curb the resurgence of Covid-19.
Presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale was tight-lipped on planned discussions, saying the agenda would be adopted at the meeting.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is on Wednesday expected to meet with the President's Coordinating Council (PCC) ahead of a planned announcement on restrictions to curb the resurgence of Covid-19.
"All I can confirm is that the council will be meeting [on Wednesday], but the agenda will be adopted at the meeting," Presidency spokesperson Tyrone Seale told News24 on Tuesday evening.
The PCC includes ministers, premiers and the leadership of the South African Local Government Association.

This followed a virtual meeting of the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) on Tuesday to consider restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcohol in areas across the country considered to be hotspots.
News24 reported that the NCCC meeting had been expected to debate whether it would first impose area-specific restrictions instead of countrywide measures.
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde said in a statement on Tuesday that they would argue against a lockdown being imposed on the province, in favour of targeted, local interventions based on scientific evidence.
Disastrous
"A lockdown would be disastrous for our economy, will cause major job losses, and indeed a humanitarian disaster, and must be prevented at all costs."
He said the provincial government was considering its own localised interventions and restrictions to slow the spread of the virus in line with its respective powers.
"While we are considering our own interventions, the Western Cape government does intend to engage the president on our position on existing regulations during this meeting tomorrow," he said.
"This is because all regulations under the Disaster Management Act are promulgated by the national government and not provincial governments.
"During this consultation, the Western Cape will strongly argue against any blunt instrument, like a lockdown, being imposed on the province.
"We must first do everything possible, through our individual and collective action, to ensure the resurgence is rolled back and to prevent this tool from ever having to be used again."
