La Producción De Las Fresas Utilizando El Túnel Alto, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Dan Drost Jan 2010

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 …

Las Frambuesas De Otoño En Los Túneles Altos, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Trevin Cardon

All Current Publications

Se ha demostrado que los túneles altos son una manera eficaz para extender la temporada de crecimiento de la frambuesa en Utah y otras áreas de los Estados Unidos. Dependiendo del clima, los rendimientos de las frambuesas de otoño cultivados al aire libre pueden ser reducidos significativamente por la primera helada del otoño. Los túneles altos son una de las maneras de protección de la helada, y cuando se los usan junto con otras maneras de protección de la helada se puede extender significativamente la temporada de crecimiento. Investigadores en Nueva York han extendido eficazmente la temporada de crecimiento hasta …

Home Water Self-Check: Do-It-Yourself Water Check For The Home Landscape, Todd A. Mccammon

All Current Publications

In Utah, nearly two-thirds of the water consumed by residential homeowners is used to maintain landscapes. Recent water checks conducted by Utah State University Extension found that a typical homeowner applies 80 inches of water each growing season. This is twice as much as is needed.

Designing A Low Water Use Landscape, Teresa Cerny, Kelly L. Kopp, Maggie Wolf, Debbie Amundsen Aug 2002

Designing A Low Water Use Landscape, Teresa Cerny, Kelly L. Kopp, Maggie Wolf, Debbie Amundsen

All Current Publications

A landscape design should meet the needs of the people who will use and maintain the area while incorporating the site’s existing environmental conditions into the design. Water is a limiting resource in Utah, so designing the landscape to efficiently use water is important. Conserving water in the landscape can be accomplished by selecting low water use plants, designing and scheduling irrigation systems efficiently, grouping plants according to their water requirements, and using hardscaping materials (patios, stone paths, decks, etc.) appropriately to reduce the area requiring irrigation.


Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill Jun 2002

Garden Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill

All Current Publications

The goal of garden irrigation is to maintain yield and quality by replacing water lost to the atmosphere from the soil by evaporation, and from leaf surfaces by transpiration. The combination of evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration (Et), or simply water use. Garden water use is presented in units of inches of water per day, week or month.


Efficient Irrigation Of Trees And Shrubs, Teresa A. Cerny, Michael R. Kuhns, Kelly L. Kopp, Mike Johnson Jun 2002

Efficient Irrigation Of Trees And Shrubs, Teresa A. Cerny, Michael R. Kuhns, Kelly L. Kopp, Mike Johnson

All Current Publications

In Utah, urban landscape irrigation accounts for 50-75% of the annual municipal water use, and much of it is applied in excess of the plant’s needs. This excess is a tremendous resource waste and the overspray causes substantial damage to hardscape (i.e., decks, patios, fountains, decorative concrete, etc.). Scheduling irrigation according to landscape plant water needs can reduce excess water use. In addition to conserving water, proper irrigation can encourage deeper root growth and healthier, more drought tolerant landscapes.


Growing Turf On Salt-Affected Sites, Michael Pace, Paul Johnson Apr 2002

Growing Turf On Salt-Affected Sites, Michael Pace, Paul Johnson

All Current Publications

In many areas of Utah, high salt levels in the soil limit the growth of some turfgrasses, especially Kentucky bluegrass. This fact sheet was written to assist you in determining if you have a soil with a high salt level and, if you do, how to manage it with the use of irrigation, drainage, and salt tolerant grasses.
