Survey concept (1) Research objective This research is aimed at collecting and analyzing necessary information to develop a medium- and long-term cooperative program, considering Japan’s development cooperative policy for the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbekistan), which is “The realization of support to promote economic growth and rectify disparities”, as well as policies adopted at the “Central Asia plus Japan” Dialogue. Besides, identification of the current status and analysis of: A. system of support for the country’s agricultural strategy and assistance to the workers involved in this sector, B. status of logistics taking into account agrarian production and export, C. operations of other organizations that provide assistance as well as structure of privet business. (2) Regions to be researched Major data about agricultural production and amount of harvest for agro crops were collected for all land resources in Uzbekistan on province -by-province basis. In addition, a detailed study was conducted in Samarkand, Fergana, Namangan and Navoi province to consider future proposals for assistance with following reasons. - Samarkand Province has the largest production of fruit trees, vegetables and other horticultural crops in the country, but improvements are required for the whole FVC such as logistics and storage. - In Fergana state there are many farmers with relatively small cultivated land area, in the mountainous area .As these conditions are similar many with in Japan in there is a high possibility that Japan's technology and experience can be utilized. - In Namangan province, support from other donors is not sufficient. - Navoi province is a dairy farming area, but agriculture diversification is promoted with expanding production of horticultural crops. 1 (3) Structure of projects Collection of basic information Literature research Intergovernmental trends Projects related to MAFF’s ・ Assessment of requests Statistics, national ”Central Asia plus Japan” FVC (Russia・Uzbekistan) Dialogue from Uzbekistan strategy, legal system, tax ・ Projects implemented by MAFF and MAWR’s joint Project concept system etc. working group etc. proponents Conference in Japan Japanese Opinions of experts Identification of problems and enterprises’ trends important points Consultation confirmation ICR JICA Implementation policy, survey point methodology schedule etc. Reflection Reflection The first field survey Explanation and dialogue of ICR for Uzbek government officials Information collection by local Verification of sub-sectors’ current consultants situation Consultation DFR confirmation Analysis of FVC, extraction of the development agenda JICA ↓ Reflection Preparation of a future support plan The second field survey Explanation and dialogue of DFR for Uzbek government Holding of a debrief session for governmental institutions, officials agribusiness firms・organizations etc. Preparation and submission of FR (contents of the support including priorities, points of attention and the system) Figure

  • Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners
    Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners Flowering Quince Flowering quince is a group of three hardy, deciduous shrubs: Chaenomeles cathayensis, Chaenomeles japonica, and Chaenomeles speciosa. Native to eastern Asia, flowering quince is related to the orchard quince (Cydonia oblonga), which is grown for its edible fruit, and the Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis). Flowering quince is often referred to as Japanese quince (this name correctly refers only to C. japonica). Japonica is often used regardless of species, and flowering quince is still called Japonica by gardeners all over the world. The most commonly cultivated are the hybrid C. superba and C. speciosa, not C. japonica. Popular cultivars include ‘Texas Scarlet,’ a 3-foot-tall plant with red blooms; ‘Cameo,’ a double, pinkish shrub to five feet tall; and ‘Jet Trail,’ a white shrub to 3 feet tall. Flowering quince is hardy to USDA Zone 4 and is a popular ornamental shrub in both Europe and North America. It is grown primarily for its bright flowers, which may be red, pink, orange, or white. The flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter, with five petals, and bloom in late winter or early spring. The glossy dark green leaves appear soon after flowering and turn yellow or red in autumn. The edible quince fruit is yellowish-green with reddish blush and speckled with small dots. The fruit is 2 to 4 inches in diameter, fragrant, and ripens in fall. The Good The beautiful blossoms of flowering quince Flowering quince is an easy-to-grow, drought-tolerant shrub that does well in shady spots as well as sun (although more sunlight will produce better flowers).

These new virus-infected flagellates were isolated in the same region of Uzbekistan and the viral sequences differed by only nineteen SNPs, all except one being silent mutations. Therefore, we concluded that they belong to a single LRV2 species. New viruses are closely related to the LRV2-Lmj-ASKH documented in Turkmenistan in 1995, which is congruent with their shared host (L.
