Lateral flushing is expected to become an important means of controlling emitter clogging in drip irrigation systems. This research investigated the effect of different flushing frequencies (once every 32, 64, 96 and 128 h) and flushing velocities (0.2, 0.4 and 0. m s −1 ) on emitter clogging. The experimental results showed that the substances that clogged the emitters mainly come from the cast of internal laterals, and could...

Aim The ectomycorrhizal genus Strobilomyces is widely distributed throughout many parts of the world, but its origin, divergence and distribution patterns remain largely unresolved. In this study, we aim to explore the species diversity, distribution and evolutionary patterns of Strobilomyces on a global scale by establishing a general phylogenetic framework with extensive sampling. Location Africa, Australasia, East Asia, Eur...
