Evaluation Of Competition Between Turfgrass And Trees In The Landscape, Christopher A. Hendrickson
Evaluation Of Competition Between Turfgrass And Trees In The Landscape, Christopher A. Hendrickson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Population growth in regions of the Intermountain West has resulted in rapid growth of residential neighborhoods. In Utah, the landscapes associated with these expanding neighborhoods consume vast quantities of treated water. This is a concern in all states of the Intermountain West, as water becomes increasingly scarce. Traditionally used turfgrasses, trees and other plants in Intermountain West landscapes require significant amounts of supplemental water considering the intense sunlight, dry winds and sparse rainfall typical of the region. Characterizing the interactions between turfgrass and tree species in these landscapes can aid in the identification of candidate species that consume less nutritional …
The Effect Of Protective Materials On The Overwintering Of Hardy Annuals, Candytuft And Stocks, Melvin S. Burningham
The Effect Of Protective Materials On The Overwintering Of Hardy Annuals, Candytuft And Stocks, Melvin S. Burningham
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many hardy annual flowers will live through the winter if there is sufficient snow protection. Since snow cover is not consistent from year to year it has been suggested that hardy annuals planted in late summer and provided with some kind of protection before severe freezing begins will live through the winter successfully. Not only would this enable plants to bloom four to six weeks earlier, but would also enable gardeners to utilize flowers not commonly grown in northern Utah.
Some studies conducted at the Utah Experiment Station in Farmington have indicated that plants such as candytuft and snapdragons can …
The Study Of The Effect Of Various Methods Of Harvesting And Curing On The Color And Viability Of Lima Bean Seed, S. G. Date
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many seedsmen have observed that lima bean seed of a variety like Early Thorogreen, which has green cotyledons, often fades in color during harvesting. This fading of color is known as bleaching. A variety which has green cotyledon and hence green seed, should retain this green color during harvest. Bleached seeds are likely to emerge slowly when planted. Also the final field stand from a planting of bleached seed is likely to be poor.
