 The Hindu : Sadras excavations uncover hidden treasures
The hoary Dutch past of Sadras, famous for its superfine muslin, lay buried in heavy sand beds till two months ago, when the Archaeological Survey of India began to sleuth into the weavers settlement nestled in the Coramandal coast.
The hexagonal and rectangular stone tiles, seen on pavements in the post-modern era, were used in Sadras township as early as the 16th century when the Dutch colonised the settlement.
However, in the last decade, the entrance of the fort was rebuilt, paving way for the excavations on the eastern side of Sadras.

 SeedQuest - Central information website for the global seed industry
According to Dr Victor Sadras, a crop scientist with South Australia's Research and Development Institute, trials in high-tech farming systems in Argentina have shown that sunflowers on 1.4 metre rows can be inter-planted with soybeans with only minor effects on sunflower yield.
So, Dr Sadras says, whatever yield is taken from the soybeans ­ and they are affected by shortage of water and by shade from the taller sunflower plants in their early stages ­ is extra productivity and profit.
Dr Sadras said large farms in Argentina were now using the inter-cropping system and, in some cases, attaining close to the ideal yield sunflowers might achieve when planted on their own.

 HADASSAH MAGAZINE
Leah Sadras, the evening’s able D.J., notes that this type of group instruction helps break the ice at religious all-women’s dance events; she has played more than half a dozen in Ramat Beit Shemesh alone during the past couple of years and has run several in Jerusalem as well.
Sadras says that the biggest difference between religious women and their secular counterparts, in terms of their participation on the dance floor, is that “there is an issue of reticence versus freedom,” she explains.
Sadras, who is secular, happily observes the degree to which these women are able to eventually let go and the confidence she sees growing in the room without the presence of men.

Sadras shows that there is indeed a strong relationship between resource availability (as indicated by growth rate) and seed (or fish egg) number (Fig.
Sadras points out that, in breeding for maize with only one or two ears, or sunflower with a single head, we have decreased the ability of plants to respond to their environment by varying seed number.

Dr Victor Sadras, of CSIRO Land and Water, said deep tillage effectively removed the constraints imposed on crop growth by compacted soils, with wheat yields improving by up to 43% on some soil types in the trials, supported by growers and the Federal Government through the Grains Research and Development Corporation.
Mr Dr Sadras said the greatest response was on sand hills, with sandy loam flats showing markedly less response to ripping treatments.
Mr Dr Sadras said more work was required to devise practical diagnostic tools to iidentify soils where compaction was reducing grain yield, and to assess their responsiveness to deep tillage.

So, Dr Sadras says, whatever yield is taken from the soybeans - and they are affected by shortage of water and by shade from the taller sunflower plants in their early stages - is extra productivity and profit.
The inter-cropping technique developed by Dr Pablo Calviño was explained by Dr Sadras at the recent 15 th Australian Sunflower Conference in Gunnedah.

Rates of N fertiliser are calculated taking into account (a) measured soil water content and inorganic N at sowing, (b) estimated rainfall and N mineralisation during the growing season.
Actual grain yield of wheat crops in the Mallee (circles) is generally below the attainable yield (solid line) due to an array of factors, including shortage of nitrogen in a system characterised by soils with low levels of organic matter, and low use of fertiliser.
