Tb177: Evaluation Of An Experimental Filter Medium For Water Re-Use Systems, John Riley, David Cole, Robert Bayer
Tb177: Evaluation Of An Experimental Filter Medium For Water Re-Use Systems, John Riley, David Cole, Robert Bayer
Technical Bulletins
This report describes the development and testing of a new material for use as a filter medium in recirculating aquaculture systems and other water quality control situations. The material consists of a combination of activated carbon and a hydrophilic urethane foam in a homogeneous matrix. Its physical properties relevant to filtration were determined. It was then tested for its ability to remove various dissolved organic compounds and inorganic nitrogenous compounds in the form of a synthetic waste-water containing ammonia and nitrite. Finally it was subjected to long-term use in the biofilter of a fish culture system. It proved to be …
Tb172: Evaluation Of Entomopathogens For Biological Control Of Insect Pests Of Lowbush (Wild) Blueberry, Francis A. Drummond, Eleanor Groden
Tb172: Evaluation Of Entomopathogens For Biological Control Of Insect Pests Of Lowbush (Wild) Blueberry, Francis A. Drummond, Eleanor Groden
Technical Bulletins
To maintain the economic viability of Maine’s blueberry farms, to offer alternative pest control strategies in light of the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996, and to reduce the human health and environmental risks associated with pest management, these researchers have been researching biological control tactics. This technical bulletin outlines protocols and experimental design necessary for evaluation of entomopathogens targeted against the significant direct and indirect pests associated with lowbush blueberry.

Mp742: 4th Annual Munsungan Conference Proceedings: Forest Health, William D. Ostrofsky, T. J. Dragon
Miscellaneous Publications
These conference proceedings provide viewpoints on a variety of important and defining aspects of forest health. Forest managers, landowners, and scientists have long appreciated the direct effects that insects, diseases and damaging weather can have on forests. Over the past fifty years the Maine landscape has been affected by numerous outbreaks of defoliators such as the gypsy moth and the spruce budworm, by white pine blister rust and beech bark disease, and most recently by severe ice storm damage, along with countless other pests and catastrophic storms. During the past several years, the public also has become increasingly aware of …

Mr415: Why Not Tame The Wild Blueberry, Walter Litten, John M. Smagula
Miscellaneous Reports
A discussion of two studies of different methods of propagating lowbush blueberry plants. These methods could be used for introducing blueberry plants into existing fields to improve field cover, or to start a blueberry field from scratch.
Mr416: An Evaluation Of Turfgrass Species And Varieties: Perennial Ryegrass, Alan R. Langille, Annamarie Pennucci
Mr416: An Evaluation Of Turfgrass Species And Varieties: Perennial Ryegrass, Alan R. Langille, Annamarie Pennucci
Miscellaneous Reports
The ryegrasses include those popular and extensively used turfgrasses noted for their rapid germination and subsequent swift development into a suitable turf. These grasses are broadly adapted to cool temperate climates and find use in a wide array of habitats: from the seashore to mountain slopes, and in nearly all soil conditions. This report presents the results of a trial of 97 perennial ryegrass varieties at the University of Maine.
