Replacing Herbicides With Groundcovers To Enhance Vineyard Sustainability, Benjamin A. Loseke
Replacing Herbicides With Groundcovers To Enhance Vineyard Sustainability, Benjamin A. Loseke
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In many Midwestern vineyards a three to four-foot weed-free strip is maintained directly beneath the vines to reduce vine-weed competition. Conventionally, this strip has been conserved with repeated applications of herbicide, mainly glyphosate. The necessity for this weed-free strip to reduce vine-weed competition has been well documented in more arid climates. However, in areas with higher soil fertility and adequate rainfall, this strip may be unnecessary. Moreover, stand establishment and early vine growth have not been well documented when planting groundcovers (GC) immediately following the vine planting. The main objective of this project is to assess the severity of competition …
The Use Of Grape By-Products As A Nutrient Rich Cattle Feed, Zachary Christman
The Use Of Grape By-Products As A Nutrient Rich Cattle Feed, Zachary Christman
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In this article you will learn about how to use the grape stems, skins and pulp that are generated by the wine industry. Ruminant animals such as cattle can digest this inexpensive yet nutrient rich material. The complete process from wine press to cattle feed is covered in this article. The historical background of using grape by-products and methods to preserve this food source is also presented.
Growing Yeast For Livestock, Zachary Christman
Growing Yeast For Livestock, Zachary Christman
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Over 500,000 tons of organic materials such as food scraps are disposed of each year in Wisconsin. A large percentage of this material could be composted or turned into useful products.5 The purpose of this article is to educate farmers and organizations on how to turn food waste into a high value food source for livestock. Yeast can be grown at any time of the year without the large inputs of agricultural chemicals and machinery that is common with other feed production methods. A yeast growing facility can be scalable to any size the producer wants such as a small …
Delay Of Bud Break On 'Edelweiss' Grapevines With Multiple Applications Of Amigo Oil And Naa, Benjamin A. Loseke
Delay Of Bud Break On 'Edelweiss' Grapevines With Multiple Applications Of Amigo Oil And Naa, Benjamin A. Loseke
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
‘Edelweiss’ is an important grape cultivar grown in the Midwestern part of the USA. This grapevine is tolerant to extreme winter temperatures which can be experienced in the areas where it is most widely grown. ‘Edelweiss’ is one of the earliest cultivars in the vineyard to break bud, making it very susceptible to late spring freezes. The primary buds of ‘Edelweiss’ produce a significant amount of fruit, while unlike many other hybrids, the secondary and tertiary buds will have little to no yields, thus making it important to protect the primary buds from a late freeze. The objective of this …
