Western Tentiform Leafminer Phyllonorycter Elmaella, Diane G. Alston, Michael E. Reding

All Current Publications

Western tentiform leafminer populations can vary tremendously between years or even between generations within a single year. A large population in Utah's commercial fruit districts hasn't been observed since the early 2000s. Increasing resistance to organophosphate insecticides and variable effectiveness of at least six parasitic wasp species that attack the leafminer can influence the population size.

Propagating Bigtooth Maple, Melody R. Richards, Larry Rupp May 2011

Propagating Bigtooth Maple, Melody R. Richards, Larry Rupp

CWEL Extension Fact Sheets

Native plants are playing an increasing role in sustainable landscapes that use fewer resources such as water and fertilizer. Unfortunately, many native plants are not available in the nursery trade, or if they are available they may only be found as seedling plants grown for the reclamation industry. Such plants are high quality and have a valuable role in the reclamation of disturbed sites such as fire-damaged areas. But, these plants by design are genetically diverse and have not been selected for typical horticultural traits such as flowering or fall color. In addition, plants produced for reclamation are usually not …

Drought Tolerance A Database Of Irrigation Requirements For Woody Plants Of Northern Utah, Samuel Cook, Larry Rupp Mar 2011

Drought Tolerance A Database Of Irrigation Requirements For Woody Plants Of Northern Utah, Samuel Cook, Larry Rupp

CWEL Extension Fact Sheets

The DROUGHT database is based on an extensive review of literature of the water requirements for woody plants adapted to the Northern Utah region. It is intended to increase the resources available to the public to incorporate water efficient principles and plants into the urban landscape. It differs from other lists of plant water requirements in that it is a review of the published literature including citations of previous research and observations. The need for a documented review is apparent as one studies the database. It can be seen that much of the water use assessments used by the industry …
