 | | "Caatinga" class kept the same performance index, but reduced the confusion with corn class and increased in relation to the stubble class, as said above. | | | Five classes; corn, soya beans, stubble, bare soil and a regional savanna type named "caatinga" were defined. | | | Stubble class reduced the performance in 5% and increased the confusion with bare soil in 10%. |

| | Drought Strategies -- Tillage Techniques That Can Save Moisture |
| | The difference between leaving upright stubble and leaving no stubble made a difference of between 1.1 inches and 2.15 inches of extra moisture for the stubble treatments in a series of experiments. | | | Tillage has been the traditional way to prepare seedbeds and control weeds. | | | Moisture loss from tillage is especially important during dry springs, when the seedbed may dry out and result in poor germination if rainfall does not rewet the seed zone. |

| | Gillette Fusion Shaving System - commentary - review |
| | What I got was the typical Mach3 shave -- quick, easy, requiring no thought, technique, or concentration, and looking good enough for the office even though if you rub your face you'll still feel some stubble. | | | Rubbing my fingers against the grain, I could still feel stubble, despite three full passes -- with-grain, against-grain, and then a second against-grain because I still felt stubble all over. | | | We obviously swiped over previously cleared face a few extra times this morning, so it is difficult to express the relative closeness of the shave on the long flat runs on the cheek and jowls. |

| | Because the pathogen survives on stubble, it is important to avoid planting oilseed rape in fields that have stubble from a previous susceptible crop. | | | Cultural practices such as field selection, stubble management, control of volunteer crop plants and other susceptible hosts such as certain weeds, and pathogen-free seed can reduce the incidence of blackleg. | | | There should be a minimum distance of 500 meters (yards) between oilseed rape crop residue and oilseed rape crops planted in fields without a history of the disease or where a rotation is used. |
