Ec79-1206 Roses, Donald H. Steinegger, Frederick P. Baxendale, John E. Watkins, Amy Greving
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Roses are one of the most versatile and exciting plant groups to use in landscape compositions. There are rose cultivars (varieties) adapted for almost any garden site or landscape purpose, including formal beds and perennial borders, arbors, trellises, hedges, ground covers, steep banks, edging, accent, specimen plants, and as patio or tub plants.
The most common rose types are hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and climbers. More people are becoming familiar with the so-called "old fashioned" or shrub roses. Many of these are well-adapted to Nebraska and to water-conserving landscapes.
G79-445 Soybean Variety Selection, Leroy V. Svec
G79-445 Soybean Variety Selection, Leroy V. Svec
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide has information on soybean characteristics that should be considered before selecting a variety to plant.
Soybean characteristics that need to be considered in making the selection of a variety to plant include maturity, yield potential, plant type, height, seed size, emergence score, lodging, shattering, and disease and insect resistance. Many years are required to develop a new variety from the time an initial cross of soybeans is made until the time seed is available on a widespread basis. The advance of a potential variety through the early generations may be accomplished with only a few seeds of the …
G79-429 Tan Spot Disease Of Wheat (Revised June 1993), John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Eric D. Kerr
G79-429 Tan Spot Disease Of Wheat (Revised June 1993), John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Eric D. Kerr
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the development of tan spot disease in wheat and gives recommendations for controlling it by means of crop rotation, fungicides and good crop residue management.
Tan spot, caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a major leafspot disease of winter wheat in the Great Plains of North America. It has become an increasing problem in wheat cropping systems using conservation tillage. Although tan spot can be a serious threat by itself, it more often occurs as a part of a foliar disease complex involving tan spot, leaf rust and Septoria leaf blotch. Usually tan spot symptoms …

Hypoxylon Canker Incidence On Pruned And Unpruned Aspen, Michael E. Ostry, G.W. Anderson
Hypoxylon Canker Incidence On Pruned And Unpruned Aspen, Michael E. Ostry, G.W. Anderson
Aspen Bibliography
This sturdy was designed to measure the relation between the incidence of Hypoxylon canker, Hypoxylon mammatum Wahl. Mill., and the presence of branches on an aspen stem.
Phytoalexin Production By Aspen (Populus Tremuloides Michx.) In Response To Infection By Hypoxylon Mammatum (Wahl.) Mill. And Alternaria Spp, G. Flores, M. Hubbes
Phytoalexin Production By Aspen (Populus Tremuloides Michx.) In Response To Infection By Hypoxylon Mammatum (Wahl.) Mill. And Alternaria Spp, G. Flores, M. Hubbes
Aspen Bibliography
Freshly wounded stem sections of P. tremuloides Michx. produce phytoalexin when inoculated with mycelium of Hypoxylon mammatum (Wahl.) Mill., and Alternaria sp. These exudates are inhibitory against spore germination of these two fungi and, although inhibitory against mycelial growth of Alternaria sp., have no effect on the mycelial growth of H. mammatum. It was possible to correlate the amount of phytoalexin elicited by different strains with the inhibitory activity.
