Solutions To Soil Problems: I. High Salinity (Soluble Salts), Vernon Parent, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: I. High Salinity (Soluble Salts), Vernon Parent, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Salinity is a measure of the total amount of soluble salts in soil. As soluble salt levels increase, it becomes more difficult for plants to extract water from soil. Some plants are more resistant than other’s, but as the salt levels exceed their ability to extract water, they become water stressed.
Utah Fertilizer Guide, D. W. James, K. F. Topper
Utah Fertilizer Guide, D. W. James, K. F. Topper
All Current Publications
The Utah Fertilizer Guide is designed to provide practical answers to routine questions related to soil fertility management. The guide emphasizes laboratory analysis of soil and plant samples as the keystone to optimum fertilizer rates for maximum economic plant yield and quality. The focus of the guide is on soil fertility problems peculiar to the semi-arid and arid soils of Utah.
Selecting And Propagating Clones Of Bigtooth Maple (Acer Grandidentatum Nutt.), Melody Reed Richards
Selecting And Propagating Clones Of Bigtooth Maple (Acer Grandidentatum Nutt.), Melody Reed Richards
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Numerous wild bigtooth maple (Acer grandidentatum Nutt.) specimens in northern Utah have potential for use in landscapes, but improvements in selection and propagation need to be developed before these specimens can be introduced to the green industry. Criteria-based evaluations centered on aesthetics, function, and fall color were performed to objectively select superior bigtooth maple specimens. Out of 56 trees initially selected for red fall color, six were selected for propagation based on all three criteria. Five of the six selected trees yielded viable bud take via chip budding. Optimum time for chip budding propagation was determined by four experiments. …

Enhancing Out-Of-Season Production Of Tomatoes And Lettuce Using High Tunnels, Britney L. Hunter
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The growing season for vegetable crops is limited by freezing temperatures in arid high elevation climates such as northern Utah. Logan, Utah (41.73 N, 111.83 W, 1382 m elevation) has a short, variable growing season with an average frost-free period of 135 days. Extending the growing season provides growers with an opportunity to extend revenue into a normally unproductive period and benefit from out-of-season price premiums. High tunnels have been used to effectively extend the growing season for numerous crops by providing cold temperature protection. However, limited high tunnel research has been performed in arid high elevation regions that experience …

Solutions To Soil Problems: Iv. Soil Structure, Rich Koenig, Teresa Cerny
All Current Publications
Soil structure refers to the combination of primary soil particles – sand, silt and clay – into larger units called aggregates or clods. Aggregates are commonly seen when a soil is tilled or disturbed.
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: V. Low Organic Matter, Kevin Heaton, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Utah soils are inherently low in organic matter due to the desert climate and historically low plant growth rates. In Utah, soil organic matter levels are typically 0.25 to 1%, while regions with high rainfall such as the Midwest and Eastern United States have soils with as much as 7 to 10% organic matter.

Turfgrass Cultural Practices And Insect Pest Management, Diane Alston, Kelly Kopp
All Current Publications
There are a number of insects that can cause aesthetic and economic loss to turfgrass in Utah – in home lawns as well as in athletic fields and on recreational lands. Good turfgrass cultural practices are the primary way to prevent insect infestation and turfgrass damage.
Season Extension Of Strawberry And Raspberry Production Using High Tunnels, Daniel R. Rowley
Season Extension Of Strawberry And Raspberry Production Using High Tunnels, Daniel R. Rowley
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
High tunnels have been used successfully in many areas of the world to extend the growing season for numerous crops. However, very little research has been conducted to evaluate the season extension benefits offered by high tunnels to small fruit crops in high elevation growing areas such as the Intermountain West region of the United States. The use of high tunnels was investigated in North Logan, Utah (41.766 N latitude, 1405 m elevation, 119 freeze free days) to extend the growing season for both strawberries and raspberries. June-bearing 'Chandler' strawberries in a fall-planted annual hill system were evaluated for early …
Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
Solutions To Soil Problems: Iii. Drainage, Michael Johnson, Rich Koenig
All Current Publications
Drainage is a common problem throughout Utah. Complex patterns of soil development, transport and deposition have resulted in excessively drained soils that are coarse-textured (sandy or rocky), and poorly drained soils that are fine-textured (silt and clay-dominated). Excessively drained are more common in higher elevation and bench areas.

Trees and shrubs are valuable additions to most property, providing beauty, wind protection, shade, wildlife habitat, visual screening, and other benefi ts. Unfortunately, many landscape trees are not properly planted or cared-for.
Shrub Selection For Utah Landscapes, Taun Beddes, Jaydee Gunnell, Heidi Kratsch, Rick Hefelbower
Shrub Selection For Utah Landscapes, Taun Beddes, Jaydee Gunnell, Heidi Kratsch, Rick Hefelbower
CWEL Extension Fact Sheets
Urban and suburban landscapes present special challenges concerning shrub selection in Utah. Due to our distinctive climate, shrubs must be able to withstand intense sunlight, low relative humidity, drying winds, and limited seasonal precipitation. Additionally, landscapes may also have shady locations and areas of high moisture that create unique situations. This means that ideally before purchasing shrubs, a person should research suitable species adapted to the specific location where they will be planted. Even with the unique conditions that challenge shrub species, many still perform well and should be used more often in the landscape. They soften architectural structures, provide …

La Producción De Las Fresas Utilizando El Túnel Alto, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Dan Drost
La Producción De Las Fresas Utilizando El Túnel Alto, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Dan Drost
All Current Publications
Las fresas locales y frescas son siempre un favorito en los mercados de productores y en los puestos ambulantes. Las fresas crecen mejor en las temperaturas alrededor de 70 a 75˚ F (21 a 24˚ C). Los inviernos fríos y los veranos calientes solo dejan una temporada de fresas muy corta. Se diseñan los invernaderos para mantener temperaturas óptimas para el crecimiento y se las puede usar para cultivar las fresas durante todo el año. Sin embargo, los invernaderos son muy costosos para construir y operar. Los túneles altos son relativamente baratos para construir, con algunos diseños costando menos de …

Se ha demostrado que los túneles altos son una manera eficaz para extender la temporada de crecimiento de la frambuesa en Utah y otras áreas de los Estados Unidos. Dependiendo del clima, los rendimientos de las frambuesas de otoño cultivados al aire libre pueden ser reducidos significativamente por la primera helada del otoño. Los túneles altos son una de las maneras de protección de la helada, y cuando se los usan junto con otras maneras de protección de la helada se puede extender significativamente la temporada de crecimiento. Investigadores en Nueva York han extendido eficazmente la temporada de crecimiento hasta …
