Solutions To Soil Problems: Iv. Soil Structure, Rich Koenig, Teresa Cerny
Solutions To Soil Problems: Iv. Soil Structure, Rich Koenig, Teresa Cerny
All Current Publications
Soil structure refers to the combination of primary soil particles – sand, silt and clay – into larger units called aggregates or clods. Aggregates are commonly seen when a soil is tilled or disturbed.
Utah Fertilizer Guide, D. W. James, K. F. Topper
Utah Fertilizer Guide, D. W. James, K. F. Topper
All Current Publications
The Utah Fertilizer Guide is designed to provide practical answers to routine questions related to soil fertility management. The guide emphasizes laboratory analysis of soil and plant samples as the keystone to optimum fertilizer rates for maximum economic plant yield and quality. The focus of the guide is on soil fertility problems peculiar to the semi-arid and arid soils of Utah.

Solutions To Soil Problems: I. High Salinity (Soluble Salts), Vernon Parent, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Salinity is a measure of the total amount of soluble salts in soil. As soluble salt levels increase, it becomes more difficult for plants to extract water from soil. Some plants are more resistant than other’s, but as the salt levels exceed their ability to extract water, they become water stressed.

PH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a material. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. A pH value below 7 indicates the soil is acidic, while values above 7 are alkaline. Each unit change in the pH scale is a 10-fold difference in acidity or alkalinity. For example, soil with a pH of 8 is ten times more alkaline than soil with a pH of 7.
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Utah soils are inherently low in organic matter due to the desert climate and historically low plant growth rates. In Utah, soil organic matter levels are typically 0.25 to 1%, while regions with high rainfall such as the Midwest and Eastern United States have soils with as much as 7 to 10% organic matter.
Turfgrass Cultural Practices And Insect Pest Management, Diane Alston, Kelly Kopp
Turfgrass Cultural Practices And Insect Pest Management, Diane Alston, Kelly Kopp
All Current Publications
There are a number of insects that can cause aesthetic and economic loss to turfgrass in Utah – in home lawns as well as in athletic fields and on recreational lands. Good turfgrass cultural practices are the primary way to prevent insect infestation and turfgrass damage.

Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Drainage is a common problem throughout Utah. Complex patterns of soil development, transport and deposition have resulted in excessively drained soils that are coarse-textured (sandy or rocky), and poorly drained soils that are fine-textured (silt and clay-dominated). Excessively drained are more common in higher elevation and bench areas.

Trees and shrubs are valuable additions to most property, providing beauty, wind protection, shade, wildlife habitat, visual screening, and other benefi ts. Unfortunately, many landscape trees are not properly planted or cared-for.

La Producción De Las Fresas Utilizando El Túnel Alto, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Dan Drost
All Current Publications
Las fresas locales y frescas son siempre un favorito en los mercados de productores y en los puestos ambulantes. Las fresas crecen mejor en las temperaturas alrededor de 70 a 75˚ F (21 a 24˚ C). Los inviernos fríos y los veranos calientes solo dejan una temporada de fresas muy corta. Se diseñan los invernaderos para mantener temperaturas óptimas para el crecimiento y se las puede usar para cultivar las fresas durante todo el año. Sin embargo, los invernaderos son muy costosos para construir y operar. Los túneles altos son relativamente baratos para construir, con algunos diseños costando menos de …
