All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this study was to consider how the rooting of cuttings may be affected by such methods and factors as: type of cutting, time of year when cuttings are best taken, differences between individual species, use of chemicals for the treatment of cuttings, rooting media, and the care of cuttings in the propagation beds.
In the past 35 years scientists have done considerable experimenting with the application of organic chemicals on the roots, stems and leaves of various plants. These organic chemicals have come to be known as "plant hormones" or "plant regulators." They have proved to be …
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 …
Physio-Chemical Changes In Relation To The Rest Period Of Peach And Apricot Trees, Hussein Ibrahim El-Mansy
Physio-Chemical Changes In Relation To The Rest Period Of Peach And Apricot Trees, Hussein Ibrahim El-Mansy
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Many plants require exposure to low temperature for a certain period during each year. This was determined more than a century ago. Understanding this phenomenon, known as the rest period, is part of a larger problem of understanding the factors which determine the ability of an organism to grow. The property of rest is ultimately a property of the actively growing cells, rather than that of the cells involved with protection and support.
