Response Of Warm Season Turfgrasses To Reduced Light Environments, Jeffrey Atkinson
Response Of Warm Season Turfgrasses To Reduced Light Environments, Jeffrey Atkinson
All Theses
Shade or low light tolerance is an increasingly important issue to turf managers as they are often expected to grow turf in less than ideal agronomic conditions. As permanent structures such as residential buildings add to already problematic shade caused by trees, and other barriers, new solutions are needed to help turf managers provide acceptable turf conditions. The plant growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl (TE) can lessen negative responses of turfgrass to shade.
Two experiments were conducted during the summers of 2008 and 2009 to evaluate various grasses under a reduced light environment (RLE). In the first study, performance of `Diamond' zoysiagrass …
Refinement Of Innovative Watermelon Grafting Methods With Appropriate Choice Of Developmental Stage, Rootstock Type, And Root Treatment To Increase Grafting Success, Frederic Memmott
All Theses
ABSTRACT
Watermelon grafting methods used in Europe and Asia vary, but are based on efficiency, skill and needs. China mainly practices the whole insertion grafting method, whereas, Europe and Japan employ the one cotyledon (splice/slant–cut) grafting method. These methods are not suitable for grafting production in the U.S. due to the labor intensive and high labor cost necessary to successfully produce grafted transplants. This thesis introduced a modified grafting technique called the “Cotyledon Devoid Method” and in three experiments determined; 1) the rootstock leaf number stage (RLNS) at which the greatest grafting success is achieved; 2) the relationship between total …
Establishment And Management Practices Of Two New Warm-Season Turfgrasses In The Southern Transition Zone, John Stiglbauer
Establishment And Management Practices Of Two New Warm-Season Turfgrasses In The Southern Transition Zone, John Stiglbauer
All Theses
Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum O. Swartz) is a turfgrass that has become increasingly popular in southern coastal regions of the US because of its ability to tolerate salt stress. Another reason that this turfgrass is increasing in popularity is its aesthetically appealing striping ability. Seashore paspalum could also be beneficial in areas where potable water cannot be used for irrigation. Information on this turfgrass is limited in literature, particularly on the topics of establishment, scalping, and growing this turfgrass on inland sites in the transition zone. A field experiment was conducted in Clemson, SC from May 2007 and 2008 to …
Unrooted Stem Cutting Physiology; Water Use And Leaf Gas Exchange Of Severed Stem Cuttings, Peter Alem
Unrooted Stem Cutting Physiology; Water Use And Leaf Gas Exchange Of Severed Stem Cuttings, Peter Alem
All Theses
Stem cuttings are one of the most frequently used and successful methods of vegetative plant propagation. The understanding of unrooted cutting physiology, especially gas exchange and water flux, is crucial for successful propagation of healthy plants. Prior to root initiation, water uptake is limited and leafy stem cuttings are most vulnerable to wilting.
Experiments were carried out in the greenhouse with poinsettia cuttings to determine water uptake, photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance from the time of severing to rooting, including time spent in storage. Water uptake through the severed stem was investigated in the laboratory and growth chamber. Cutting gas …
A Survey Of The Vascular Flora Of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Daniel Payne
A Survey Of The Vascular Flora Of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Daniel Payne
All Theses
Beaufort County has historically been one of the most poorly botanized counties in the state. Geographically, it lies farther from the major research institutions than most other counties and has therefore received little attention from modern botanists. Major waterways, numerous private communities and an oppressive summer climate further complicate botanical research. Beaufort has one of the fastest growing human populations in the state. Natural areas are rapidly being converted into residential and commercial developments. An understanding of the county's flora is necessary to focus conservation efforts to preserve critical habitat and develop management plans for maintaining biodiversity. This project was …
