The paper should be ended by a signature of the author(s) or other persons
responsible for the article and the date.
Articles written based on non-traditional trial data and the obtained results may
have other than traditional structural parts of a paper.
The article should not exceed 10-15 pages, tables and figures included (longer
articles are agreed with the chairman of the Editorial Board).
Text preparation
The manuscripts should be submitted in Lithuanian, English or Russian, typed
by IBM type computer, used MO Microsoft WORD for Windows 95; 98; 2000
word-processor format, the font to be typed - TIMES NEW ROMAN size 12, on
A 4 paper (210 x 297 mm) one side, for a manuscript – single spaced, for the text
after reviews - 1,5 lines, justified, in a 1,44 MB diskette. Margins: top - 2 cm,
bottom - 2 cm, right -1.5 cm, left - 3 cm.
In bold are written the title of the paper in all languages, headings and all main
structural elements (abstract, introduction, materials, methods, results,
discussion, conclusions, references). In Italic are written Latin names of species,
genera, diseases, pests and microorganisms. Cultivar is it be placed within single
quatation marks.
Tables
If results are already given in figures, tables should not be used. Double
documentation is not acceptable.
Text in tables is written in Lithuanian and English languages. If the text is written
in Russian – in Russian and English. If Lithuanian and English texts are in one line
they are separated by /. Do not use vertical and horizontal lines to separate parts of
the text. A horizontal line separates only headings of columns and the end of the
table. Orientation in a page only vertical (Portrait).
Trial variants in tables should not be numbered or submitted in complicated
abbreviations. Tables should be self explanatory, and if there are abbreviations, they
should be understandable.
Statistical data, figures, numerals
It is desirable to describe in detail the applied research methods and indicate
references. The information on the scheme (design) of field, vegetative and other
trials and motivation of their choice are very important. Data presented in tables and
figures must be statistically processed: means, standard errors, correlation
coefficients, significance of differences, (most acceptable at 95% or and – 90.99%
level), etc. calculated. Abbreviations of parameters should be explained if they are
not international standard abbreviations (ISO) [13].
Value figures should not be more than the trial method allows. Means of values
should be rounded off to 1/10, their standard errors calculated.
For figures indicating quantity should be used Arabic numerals, e.g.: 15 tons,
and for consecutive numbering can be used both Roman and Arabic numerals, e.g.:
XX century, 2nd sample.
Numbers from one to nine are written in words, except when they mean
measurement size (e.g.: 5 km, but “three variants”) or numbered consecutively (e.g.:
phase 6, 9, 12). In many-figured numbers between classes an interval is made, e.g.,
42 351. Percent is noted as %, when a specific number is implied, though „percent
unit“ is written in words. In decimals use the decimal point.
