Evaluation Of Chilling Requirements For Six Arkansas Blackberry Cultivars Utilizing Stem Cuttings, Dayanee Yazzetti, John R. Clark Jan 2001

Evaluation Of Chilling Requirements For Six Arkansas Blackberry Cultivars Utilizing Stem Cuttings, Dayanee Yazzetti, John R. Clark

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

Woody perennial plants including blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus) require certain amounts of chilling or rest hours below 7ºC during the dormant season for successful bud break the following year. Arkansas-developed blackberry cultivars are being grown in various climates worldwide and all cultivars need chilling requirement estimates for accurate recommendations of adaptation. Determining chilling requirement using stem cuttings collected from field-grown plants rather than whole plants is a desirable system. We conducted a study to evaluate both artificial and field chilling of six cultivars. For the artificial-chilling study, 12- node stem cuttings were collected 2 days after the first killing frost. …


Improvements In Turfgrass Color And Density Resulting From Comprehensive Soil Diagnostics, Matt Cordell, Jonathan Davis, David E. Longer Jan 2001

Improvements In Turfgrass Color And Density Resulting From Comprehensive Soil Diagnostics, Matt Cordell, Jonathan Davis, David E. Longer

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

There are roughly 220 golf courses in Arkansas, and as many as 50% of these courses were constructed using common bermudagrass fairways. Although resilient, common bermudagrass loses density and quality over time. In this experiment physical and chemical properties of the soil were analyzed to determine the causes of decline in turf quality observed on several fairways of a local golf course. Once a particular fairway was selected for study and preliminary soil sampling conducted, GS+, a geostatistical computer program, was used to map the location of certain chemical deficiencies. A moderate to severe Mg deficiency was detected throughout the …

Evaluation Of Chilling Requirements For Six Arkansas Blackberry Cultivars Utilizing Stem Cuttings, Dayanee Yazzetti Jan 2001

Evaluation Of Chilling Requirements For Six Arkansas Blackberry Cultivars Utilizing Stem Cuttings, Dayanee Yazzetti

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Woody perennial plants including blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus Watson) require certain amounts of chilling or rest hours below 7T during the dormant season for successful bud break the following year. Blackberry cultivars developed in Arkansas are being grown in various climates worldwide, and all cultivars need chilling requirement estimates for accurate recommendations of adaptation. Determining chilling requirements using stem cuttings collected from field-grown plants rather than whole plants is a desirable system. We conducted a study to evaluate both artificial- and field-chilling of six cultivars. For the artificial-chilling study, 12-node stem cuttings were collected 2 days after the first killing …
