    In this paper we present the development of a composite magnetostrictive material for automotive applications. The material is based on cobaltferrite,CoO⋅Fe2O3, and contains a small fraction of metallic matrix phase that serves both as a liquid-phasesintering aid during processing and enhances the mechanical properties over those of a simple sinteredferrite ceramic. In addition the metal matrix makes it possible to braze the material, making the assembly of a sensor relatively simple. The material exhibits good sensitivity and should have high corrosion resistance, while at the same time it is low in cost

    Abstract. Bacterial spot in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is caused by Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and X. vesicatoria. The natural Bulgarian population of X. vesicatoria belongs to pepper-tomato pathotypes (PT), whereas Macedonian population of X. euvesicatoria refers to pepper pathotypes (P). Bacterial spot of pepper caused by X. vesicatoria and X. euvesicatoria has become a very serious disease in Bulgaria during the past few years. The use of resistant pepper cultivars is the most economically and technically efficient method for control. Pepper varieties with immune and/or resistant reaction were not found in this study. Moderately susceptible to both pathogens were the following varieties: Kapia UV-Vertus, Sofijska kapia and Familiya of Kapia type, Quadrato D"Asti Giallo of Dolma type and Chorbadzhiyski of long pungent fruits. All varieties with cone-shaped fruits and the ones for sweet powder performed with highly susceptible reaction to X. еuvesicatoria

    Abstract. One of the main problems in cucumber greenhouse production is control of soil-borne pathogens and root-knot nematodes. Grafting cucumber plants represent an alternative method to control that is safety and does not pollute the environment. Immune forms to these pests are not established, but in some studies are found sources belong to Cucurbitaceae family that possesses resistant or tolerant response. The aim of this study was to screening cucurbitaceous rootstock genotypes to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.), Fusarium spp. and Pythium spp. During the period 2014-2015 in the Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv thirteen breeding materials belonging to Cucurbitaceae family were tested: Gergana, Kiara F , TG, TD (Cucumis 1 sativus); CM 720, SB-2, SB-3, Turban (C. maxima); Muskatna 51-17, Carotina, (C. moschata); Turban × Muskatna 51-17, CM 720 × Carotina (C. maxima × C. moschata F ); Local (Lagenaria siceraria). Two parallel trials were performed in greenhouse conditions. Local isolates of pests were used for the screening 1 tests. Plants were grown in pots and inoculated with mixed infection of Fusarium spp. and Pythium spp. In trial with root-knot nematodes the plants were inoculated with 6000 second stage juveniles (J2). The response was recorded 60 days after inoculation. Results indicated that Carotina was resistant when the pots were inoculated with Meloidogyne spp. Resistant response to soil-borne pathogens possesses cucumber lines TG and TD and Lagenaria. Tested cucurbitaceous material can be used directly for grafting cucumber plants, and also be able to used as a basis for starting breeding program for rootstocks with tolerance to Meloidogyne spp., Fusarium spp. and Pythium sp

    The experiment was performed in the Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute, Plovdiv and Experimental station, Samokov during the period 2009-2011. The aim of this study was to investigate yield structure in the production of certified seeds from Bulgarian potato varieties. Three factors field experiment was set with 12 combinations with established effect of the factors - fertilization rate, planting density and term of leaf striping on the yield of the variants. The total yield in production of certified seeds from Bulgarian potato varieties varies from 2282 to 3556 kg/da. The standard yield of the seed fractions increases significantly with the increase of planting density and decrease of the duration of term of leaf striping

Целью изучения являлась структура урожая при производстве сертифицированных семян болгарских сортов картофеля. В результате многофакторного полевого опыта установлено влияние нормы внесения удобрений, густоты посадки и срока удаления ботвы на общую урожайность вариантов и их фракции. Урожайность при производстве сертифицированных семян болгарских сортов картофеля Перун, Калина и Боре варьирует от 2282 до 3556 kg/da. Стандартная урожайность семенных фракций увеличивается при более густой посадке и при более раннем удалении ботвы
