Effect Of Chitosan On Plant Growth, Flowering, And Substrate Characteristics Of Potted Geranium (Pelargonium X Hortorum), Maggie Liu
Holster Scholar Projects
Modern industrial agricultural practices rely heavily on the use of fertilizers and pesticides to increase crop quality and quality which overtime gradually degrades the quality of cultivated soils and aquatic environments. The purpose of this project is to determine how chitosan polymers with various molecular weights affect the growth and flowering of Geranium plants as well as the water and nutrient retention capacity of the substrate. Three chitosans with different molecular weights (2 kDa, 50 kDa, and 970 Da) were experimented on the geraniums. Each chitosan treatment was applied through a spray system onto the experimental group plants after transplantation …
Discovery Of Epiphytic Lichens In Connecticut Suggests Novel Introduction And Reintroduction Via Horticultural Practices, Henry A. Frye, Zachary Muscavitch, Bernard Goffinet
Discovery Of Epiphytic Lichens In Connecticut Suggests Novel Introduction And Reintroduction Via Horticultural Practices, Henry A. Frye, Zachary Muscavitch, Bernard Goffinet
EEB Articles
The discovery of Teloschistes chrysophthalmus in Connecticut more than one hundred years since its last known occurrence is argued to result from human introduction. The species only occurred on the horticultural tree, Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis, planted on the University of Connecticut campus. Gleditsia triacanthos is not indigenous to northeastern North America, but is widespread in the central United States. Other epiphytic macrolichens also recorded on this phorophyte include Punctelia bolliana and Parmotrema austrosinense, both widespread in the central United States, and new to Connecticut and New England, respectively. This is likely the first reported case of combined …
Combinations Of Allelopathic Crop Extracts Reduce Digitaria Spp. And Setaria Faberi Seed Germination, Peter Apicella, Karl Guillard
Combinations Of Allelopathic Crop Extracts Reduce Digitaria Spp. And Setaria Faberi Seed Germination, Peter Apicella, Karl Guillard
Honors Scholar Theses
Allelopathic cover crops contain compounds that deter other types of plant seeds from germinating or inhibiting established plants’ growth. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus, SF), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, BW), sorghum-sudangrass (Sorghum × drummondii [Nees ex. Steud.] Millsp. & Chase, SSG), and winter rye (Secale cereale) are all known allelopathic cover crops. However, there is little information about the use of these allelopathic cover crops used together and their combined impact on weed seed germination. Laboratory bioassays were conducted to determine the effect of the aforementioned cover crops alone and in combinations in reducing the …
Aronia Mitschurinii: Solving A Horticultural Enigma, Peter J. Leonard
Aronia Mitschurinii: Solving A Horticultural Enigma, Peter J. Leonard
Master's Theses
Aronia (Medik.), commonly known as chokeberry, is a taxonomically misunderstood genus currently experiencing a renaissance in North America as both an ornamental and fruit crop. Three species of chokeberry are commonly accepted as native in North America: A. arbutifolia (L.) Pers. red chokeberry; A. melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot, black chokeberry; and A. prunifolia (Marshall) Rehder, or purple chokeberry. In Europe a fourth species of human origin is recognized as Aronia mitschurinii (A.K.Skvortsov & Maitul.), or cultivated, black-fruited Aronia. It is widely speculated that this genotype originated in the early 20th century with Russian pomologist Ivan Michurin, as the product …
A Rain Garden Grows In Bridgeport, Michael Dietz
A Rain Garden Grows In Bridgeport, Michael Dietz
Wrack Lines
Rain gardens can be used to help communities adapt to climate change. A warmer New England means more precipitation, which means more polluted runoff water--unless a rain garden, planted in a depression, can sequester the excess water and use it to grow attractive plants.
