Propagation And Growth Of Chokecherry (Prunus Virginaiana) As An Alternative, Water-Wise, Fruit Crop For The Intermountain West, Jeremy R. Crook
Propagation And Growth Of Chokecherry (Prunus Virginaiana) As An Alternative, Water-Wise, Fruit Crop For The Intermountain West, Jeremy R. Crook
Browse All Undergraduate research
Utah fruit growers have shown interest in chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) as an alternative crop that has low requirements for water and soil fertility. Consumers want native fruits like chokecherry that are healthy and taste good. Currently, the limiting factor in developing a chokecherry industry in Utah is the ability to propagate large numbers of plants for orchard establishment. Chokecherries are difficult to propagate by traditional means because of their low rooting percentages. Plant numbers can be increased in tissue culture but methods are lacking for efficiently inducing roots and acclimating tissue culture plantlets. We are also working on other propagation …

Fall calving has been practiced by beef producers for many years, although in small numbers relative to spring calving. The spring calf crop has been a traditional event for most beef producers and probably will continue to be. There are distinct advantages, however, to fall calving which producers could take advantage of. The potential for higher conception and weaning rates, price premiums and the elimination of calf scours are among the reasons some beef producers have switched from spring calving their herd to fall calving.

Aspen Bibliography
Aspen trees grow along moist stream bottoms as well as on dry ridges and southerly exposures, on talus slopes, and on shallow to deep soils of varied origins. Quaking aspen is one of the few plant species that can grow in all mountain vegetational zones from the alpine to the basal plain (Daubenmire 1943). As a consequence, aspen dominated communities are found intermixed with such divergent vegetation as semiarid shrublands and wet sprucefir forests

Diseases In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, Thomas E. Hinds
Aspen Bibliography
Although many diseases attack aspen, relatively few kill or seriously injure living trees. The common leaf diseases, in general, are widely distributed throughout the range of aspen, whereas there are subtle differences in distribution between the important decay fungi, and apparently entirely different areas of distribution of major canker-causing organisms. However, there still are large gaps in knowledge of the disease organisms and their influence on natural and regenerated stands.

Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle
Genetics And Variation In Aspen: Ecology And Management In The Western United States, J.R. Jones, N.V. Debyle
Aspen Bibliography
The broad genotypic variability in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.), that results in equally broad phenotypic variability among clones is important to the ecology and management of this species. This chapter considers principles of aspen genetics and variation. variation in aspen over its range, and local variation among clones. For a more detailed review of the genetics of qualung aspen, especially with wider geographic application and with emphasis on tree breeding, see Einspahr and Winton (1976).
