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 …

Ec94-132 Freeze Injury To Nebraska Wheat, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon, John E. Watkins
Ec94-132 Freeze Injury To Nebraska Wheat, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon, John E. Watkins

Nebraska’s adverse weather conditions affect winter wheat during much of its growth. The newer varieties of wheat have increased winter hardiness, and better management practices have reduced winter injury of winter wheat, yet low temperature injury during winter and spring can be destructive. Wheat has little resistance to low temperatures after it begins growing in the spring; therefore, injury from freezes at this time can occur in any part of the state. This publication describes temperature conditions that cause winter injury, symptoms of injury at different spring growth stages, and management practices to use when wheat is injured.

An Economic Analysis Of Sprinkling For Bloom Delay And Freeze Protection Of Apples In Farmington, Utah, Jay Val Anderson
An Economic Analysis Of Sprinkling For Bloom Delay And Freeze Protection Of Apples In Farmington, Utah, Jay Val Anderson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The major purpose of this study is to analyze the economic feasibility of bloom delay by sprinkling as a means of protecting delicious apples from frost. The framework of this study is based on decision making theory under uncertainty. It demonstrates the usefulness of the Bayesian approach to determine optimum action to take in face of uncertain climatic conditions. The economic analysis was conducted for Farmington, Utah, where significant relationships were found between the end of winter rest (end of chill-unit accumulation) and time of full bloom of red delicious apples.
A posteriori probabilities for the state of nature were …
