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. …

In this research, the adaptation and ground cover properties of some plants with aesthetic and functional features, found in the natural flora of the province of Trabzon, were investigated. Nineteen different natural ground cover plants from 8 families were chosen as trial plant material. These materials, which were mostly from the alpine zone, were planted as plugs in 1994. Survival rates and plant cover area were recorded and measured at the beginning of the vegetation season, during flowering, and at the end of the vegetation season in 1995 and 1996. Moreover, observations were made on some of the morphological properties …
