Phosphorus And Potassium Fertility Management For Maximizing Tart Cherry Fruit Quality And Productivity On Alkaline Soils, Sean D. Rowley 
Utah State University
Phosphorus And Potassium Fertility Management For Maximizing Tart Cherry Fruit Quality And Productivity On Alkaline Soils, Sean D. Rowley
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Suitable orchard land in regions of high elevation, arid climates, and alkaline soil conditions is becoming more limited due to urban sprawl. With the loss of suitable farmland, increasing input costs, and the lack of sound fertility information for these regions, fruit growers face challenges in producing high quality fruit to meet local and general market demand. The question that arises is whether fruit growers can supply sufficient quantities of quality fruit to take full advantage of local and global demand. Government data for population, fruit production, and fruit consumption in Utah were reviewed to determine the potential size of ...

Response Of Nebraska Horseweed (Conyza Canadensis) Populations To Dicamba, Roberto Crespo, Mark L. Bernards, Greg Kruger, Donald Lee, Robert Wilson Jr.

Response Of Nebraska Horseweed (Conyza Canadensis) Populations To Dicamba, Roberto Crespo, Mark L. Bernards, Greg Kruger, Donald Lee, Robert Wilson Jr.
Theses, Dissertations, and Student Research in Agronomy and Horticulture
Dicamba-resistant soybeans are being developed to provide an additional herbicide mechanism-of-action for postemergence weed control in soybean. Numerous broadleaf species, including horseweed, have evolved resistance to glyphosate. It is anticipated that dicamba will be used by farmers as a primary tool to manage these weeds. Studying and understanding variability in horseweed response to dicamba will aid in developing appropriate risk management strategies to extend the utility of the dicamba-resistance technology. Horseweed plants from ten Nebraska populations were treated with one of nine doses of dicamba in greenhouse experiments. At 28 days after treatment (DAT) visual injury estimations were made and ...

Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation: Evaluation Of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (Asd) For Warm-Season Vegetable Production In Tennessee, David Grant McCarty University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation: Evaluation Of Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (Asd) For Warm-Season Vegetable Production In Tennessee, David Grant Mccarty
Masters Theses
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a non-chemical, pre-plant soil treatment recently developed for control of pests such as soilborne plant pathogens, plant-parasitic nematodes, and weeds in specialty crop systems. Soil treatment by ASD includes incorporating a labile carbon (C) source, tarping with plastic, and irrigation of the topsoil to saturation to facilitate the development of strongly anaerobic soil conditions driven by soil microbes. Processes occurring during the anaerobic decomposition of the added C source have been reported control plant pests. The goal of this project was to evaluate and adapt the ASD procedure to environmental conditions and production systems in ...
Efficacy Of Biopesticides For Organic Management Of Cucumber Beetles, Mary A. Rogers University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Efficacy Of Biopesticides For Organic Management Of Cucumber Beetles, Mary A. Rogers
Doctoral Dissertations
Organic growers are limited in crop protection techniques for cucumber beetle management. Spotted (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi) and striped (Acalymma vitatta) cucumber beetles and are significant pests of cucurbits in the U.S. Feeding results in aesthetic damage and reduction in marketable yields as well as transmission of bacterial wilt that can result in plant mortality. Biopesticides are products formulated from naturally occurring organisms such as fungi and bacteria that are pathogenic or toxic to insect pests. Advantages to these products are that they have low environmental risk, low risk to non-target organisms including mammals and beneficial insects, and can help ...

Human Calmodulin Methyltransferase: Expression, Activity On Calmodulin, And Hsp90 Dependence, Sophia Magen, Roberta Magnani, Sitvanit Haziza, Eli Hershkovitz, Robert Houtz, Franca Cambi, Ruti Parvari
Horticulture Faculty Publications
Deletion of the first exon of calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase (CaM KMT, previously C2orf34) has been reported in two multigene deletion syndromes, but additional studies on the gene have not been reported. Here we show that in the cells from 2p21 deletion patients the loss of CaM KMT expression results in accumulation of hypomethylated calmodulin compared to normal controls, suggesting that CaM KMT is essential for calmodulin methylation and there are no compensatory mechanisms for CaM methylation in humans. We have further studied the expression of this gene at the transcript and protein levels. We have identified 2 additional transcripts in cells ...

Variation In Seed Dormancy In Echinochloa And The Development Of A Standard Protocol For Germination Testing. Ii: Breaking Dormancy In Seeds Unresponsive To Light Or Dark Conditions Alone By Using Heat And Ethanol Pretreatment, David A. Kovach, Mark P. Widrlechner, David M. Brenner

Variation In Seed Dormancy In Echinochloa And The Development Of A Standard Protocol For Germination Testing. Ii: Breaking Dormancy In Seeds Unresponsive To Light Or Dark Conditions Alone By Using Heat And Ethanol Pretreatment, David A. Kovach, Mark P. Widrlechner, David M. Brenner
NCRPIS Publications and Papers
A recently established method for the germination of Echinochloa seeds recognised and accounted for variation in responses to light and darkness. This method used parallel light and dark tests and was successful in promoting germination in most seed lots. However, some samples exhibited deeper dormancy and were not fully responsive to either test. In the present study, we employed warm pretreatments where seeds were exposed to dilute aqueous ethanol solutions to attempt to break their dormancy. Based on tests of five Echinochloa accessions, we propose a new, follow-up protocol that can be used on samples unresponsive to the established method ...

Horticulture and Crop Science
The purpose of this project is to evolve a bleak landscape into something that the home owner can appreciate and love. This project will demonstrate the knowledge of this process to provide as a guide for others. This project gives an overview of all aspects of a landscape project including: drawings of an irrigation layout, planting plan, drainage plan, and a construction plan. This project takes place in Riverbank, California, which is located in the Central Valley. The property’s main centerpiece is a pool and adjacent waterfall. However, the landscape currently surrounding the pool is very bare and lacks ...
