Interdependence between seed age and aerated steam treatment intensities
Aerated steam treatment is a modern and environmental friendly method for seed borne fungus sanitation, mainly used on cereals. The method involves exposure to heat and high humidity, factors which are known to induce a fast ageing of seeds, thus resulting in reduced storability. This thesis clarifies the interdependence between seed age and the aerated steam treatment intensities.
Two studies were carried out in this thesis. In the first study the storage longevity of seeds treated with aerated steam was examined. The second study investigated the shelf-life of the pre-tests used to determine the aerated steam treatment tolerance of a seed lot, by testing the treatment tolerance of seeds aged prior to the treatment.
Ekonomi i vallfrödominerad växtföljd :
This is a project about how you grow timothy seed and red clover seed successfully. The main part is about economic analyse to see if it is any economy by growing leyseed.
There are lots of things to be aware of to get all the costs in your economic analyze.
Timothy
Timothy seed is planted on 4400 hectares in Sweden. It is possible to grow timothy seed in the south part of Sweden. Timothy is very sensitive for dry weather in spring and in the beginning to summer. Timothy gives acceptable harvest of seed for about three years.
Red clover
Red clover is also sensitive for dry weather and is suitable to grow in the south part of Sweden.
Energianalys av Svensk Växtkrafts biogasanläggning i Västerås
Svensk Växtkraft is the owner of the biogas plant in Västerås. The company is planning to increase
their treatment capacity at their biogas plant. In connection to this work it is also possible to make
some energy saving changes to the biogas plant. The objective of this study was therefore to make
an electricity and heat survey of the biogas plant, a detailed study of the heat consumption in the
sanitation step and also a comparison of energy consumption with the present sanitation method
and an alternative strategy where the waste is treated in 55 °C during 10 hours (the current method
is heating to 70 °C during 1 hour).
The energy survey was conducted in close collaboration with staff at the biogas plant. The current
during normal operation was measured, power was calculated and multiplied by the time of usage to
obtain the energy consumed.
EU:s medborgarinitiativ : En framkomlig väg för att minska det demokratisk underskottet?
The European Union is struggling to maintain democracy and tries to increase the participation among the citizens in Europe. The European Citizens? Initiative, ECI, is a platform established by the European Commission to allow citizens to propose new legislation. ?Water and sanitation are a human right! Water is a public good, not a commodity!? is the first ECI that has met the requirements.

Torkning av vallfrö :
In Sweden, grass is the single largest crop grown. Nearly 1 000 000 Ha grows on the
fields, this is primarily used as feed for livestock. To get a good seed, you need to
handle the crop carefully from planting to delivery. The part that I have been
interested in, is how to dry the harvested seed with out destroying the growth in the
small seed. This is very easily done if you aren?t careful during the drying period.
Sha Jun
The agriculture in Sweden today uses chemical substances to control vermin, weed
and diseases. This usage shows through polluted subsoil water and trace elements in
the food we eat. There?s a risk that additional symptoms will arise in the future.
Our product Sha Jun, developed in 2006-2007, is an attempt to try and minimize the
need of chemicals in the agriculture. The idea started with the attempt to minimize the
usage of pesticides on the cropland.
Ekonomi i odling av ekologiskt potatisutsäde :
According to the EEG-councils regulation nr 2092/91, all seed used in organic production
must have organic origin. All seed which is offered for sale must be controlled by
KRAV, and also comply with the rules of the seedlegislation. The seedlegislation
contains demands respecting origin, quality, growingconditions and freedom from
deseases. In this piece of work I will investigate the profitability of organic
potatoseedproduction, and also what it takes to produce potatoseed.
The workmethod has been to, with help from counsellors and growers, make some
compareable calculations for foodpotatoes and seedpotatoes, and also with help from a
literaturestudy investigate which requires an organic seedcultivation must fulfil.
In this piece of work I found out that the organic potatoseedproduction still is to insecure
to be profitable. The attack of potatoleafmould, which is out of control, cause unequal
yields and this will bring that the new EU-rules, concerning organic seed, not seems
defendable yet..
Ny teknik för kombisådd :
The use of combi-drilling during spring tillage has become very common in southern
Sweden in recent years. Combi-drilling leads to fewer passes on the field and better plant
nutrient utilisation. An example of a combi-drill is the Väderstad Rapid, which is very
widely used in spring tillage in southern Sweden. The Rapid has separate fertiliser and
seed coulters, which means that the draught requirement is relatively high. It thus
requires large, heavy tractors, which compact the soil and are comparatively expensive to
buy and run.
A few years ago the Finnish combi-drill Tume Nova Combi came onto the Swedish
market.
Varulagervärdering : Hur går stora handelsföretag tillväga när de ska värdera sitt varulager?
In commercial firms, the inventory is often the largest and most important entry and to have acorrectly valued inventory is an important prerequisite in the statement of accounts. However,the inventory is considered to be one of the entries that are most difficult to value among thecompanies assets and this is why we have investigated how large commercial firms valuetheir inventories. We have used relevant theory and conducted a number of interviews withpeople who are knowledgeable when it comes to valuation of inventories. Our conclusion isthat commercial firms work in different ways and that there is no general method which isused by all commercial companies..
Småskalig utsädesproduktion : ekonomiska och organisatoriska aspekter
The economic situation in the Swedish agricultural industry is currently experiencing a development towards larger units. This progress occurs simultaneously as farmers in cooperation more frequently make investments to decrease risk exposure and to improve the financial result. The purpose with this thesis is to study which advantages and problems a group of farmers experience after a common investment in a small-scale seed production. The aim with this investment is to increase the level of vertical integration in their respective agricultural firms and the results will be analyzed from an economic point of view. At present, the farmers are all seed producers with considerable cultivation areas.
Privata markägares reflektioner med hänseende till den minskade röjningsaktiviteten : så kan skogsvårdsstyrelsen anpassa sitt arbete
This project was a request of Norrbodal´s Forestry Board, Västra Götaland. It was performed as a qualitative interview analysis of private forest owner?s deficient motivation regarding pre-commercial thinning. The purpose of the project is to investigate what the Forestry Board can do to motivate private forest owners to do more pre-commercial thinning.
The results build upon 16 qualitative phone interviews with forest owners that have their forest within the district of Norrbodal. The owners are divided into two groups, the one who have performed the pre-commercial thinning and the one that has possible pre-commercial thinning needs on their properties according to the pre-commercial thinning analysis ,which is the result of a satellite analysis.
Fröskörd av hampa : metoder och tekniker för fröskörd av industrihampa
Hemp is an ancient cultivated plant that came to Sweden in the 1st to 2nd Century and was particularly interesting for use for food, clothing and building materials. Over time, other applications have been developed for hemp, e.g. in energy and health products. Interesting new uses for hemp continue to be identified and this fascinating plant has incredibly versatile applications.In this project, seed production of industrial hemp in Sweden was studied and evaluated. Five different methods are described, four of which are proven under Swedish conditions.
Den utan socker : En undersökning om skillnader mellan generationer då det gäller inställning, tillförlitlighet och påverkan av tv-reklam
The first company to send TV-commercial was the American company NBC, it was in the year of 1941. In Sweden, TV-commercials were first shown in 1987/88. TV 4 was the first channel to send commercial in Swedish television.TV has the advantage of showing both sound and picture, which makes TV the strongest channel of communication to mediate a message between a company and the consumer. Although TV-commercial is the most expensive choice to mediate a message, it is also the most effective one. (Persson, 1993)Almost everyone is exposed to TV-commercial daily.
Från frö till planta : En studie om hur elever i årskurs ett och fyra tänker om fröet och dess utveckling till planta
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore and describe the pupils' thoughts on seed and its development into seedling. Twenty nine Swedish pupils at the age of 7 and 10 years old were interviewed about their knowledge of seeds.It turned out that pupils often have so-called everyday belief to describe the natural science phenomenon by connecting their explanations to phenomena in everyday life to which they are familiar. To describe the process of seed developing into seedling is something that most of the pupils believe to be difficult and this resulted mostly in the answer ?it is growing.? Children have some knowledge about what seeds need in order to germinate but they do not mention the importance of oxygen as a component of seed to be able to germinate and grow. They mean instead that it is sufficient with soil, water and sun.The older pupils, however, are more often than the younger pupils able to connect their reflections to a more scientifically correct description based on terms belonging to the phenomena, though these terms sometimes are wrongly used.
