Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

    A MOSAIC DISEASE of PRIMULA OBCONICA and ITS CONTROL' a Mosaic Disease of Primula Obconica Hance, Grown Extensively As a Potted

    A MOSAIC DISEASE OF PRIMULA OBCONICA AND ITS CONTROL' By C. M. ToMPKiNS, assistant plant pathologist, and JOHN T. MIDDLETON, junior plant pathologist, California Agricultural Experiment Station ^ INTRODUCTION A mosaic disease of Primula obconica Hance, grown extensively as a potted ornamental plant in commercial greenhouses in San Fran- cisco, was first observed in August 1937. The incidence of the disease on very young to older seedling plants ranged from 5 to 25 percent and, because infected plants could not be marketed, serious financial losses were incurred. The results of studies on transmission, experimental host range, and properties of the virus, as well as control of the disease, are presented in this paper. REVIEW OF LITERATURE That many cultivated species of the genus Primula are generally susceptible to virus infection is indicated in the literature. In addi- tion to the mosaic diseases, the aster yellows, curly top, spotted wilt, and certain tobacco viruses may cause infection. Since this paper deals with a mosaic disease, only pertinent references are listed. In Japan, Fukushi (4.y in 1932 and Hino (6) in 1933 recorded the occurrence of a mosaic disease on Primula obconica. The latter also observed a similar disease on P. denticulata Sm. Smith (13) in England, in 1935, described a virus disease of the mosaic type on Primula obconica caused by cucumber virus 1. Later, Smith (14) stated that Cucumis virus 1 sometimes caused color break- ing of the fiowers and that other species of Primula were susceptible. Cucumis virus IB, a strain, induced '^a pronounced yellow and green mottling.'' In Germany, Ludwigs (7) and Pape {8) described very briefly a virus disease of Primula obconica without apparently establishing the identity of the virus.

Abstract The Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank, the first wetlands mitigation bank in the Blue Ridge Province of North Carolina, was created to compensate for losses resulting from highway projects in western North Carolina. The overall objective for the Tulula Wetlands Mitigation Bank has been to restore the functional and structural characteristics of the wetlands. Specific ecological restoration objectives of this Phase I study included: 1) reestablishing site hydrology by realigning the stream channel and filling drainage ditches; 2) recontouring the floodplain by removing spoil that resulted from creation of the golf ponds and dredging of the creek; 3) improving breeding habitat for amphibians by constructing vernal ponds; and 4) reestablishing floodplain and fen plant communities.

  • Business Organic Discards Composting

    Business Organic Discards Composting

    COMMERCIAL RECYCLING BUSINESS ORGANIC DISCARDS COMPOSTING California businesses should begin planning to separate their organic discards for composting. Beginning in 2016, AB 1826 requires that busi- nesses must arrange for composting if they dis- card 8 cubic yards or more of organic materials weekly. That threshold moves to 4 cubic yards of organics in 2017, and 4 cubic yards of solid waste in 2019. “Organic” materials include food, landscape debris (leaves, grass, branches), and woody ma- terial including lumber. Composting turns these raw materials into soil amendments that meet California goals to reduce water use, increase statewide recycling and avoid landfill methane emissions. High Desert communities are working with local haulers and composters to implement a compre- hensive local organics recycling program, and to provide options for effected businesses. WORKING TOGETHER 1 Businesses will be contacted to verify their organics generation. This may include onsite reviews to assess eligibility and capacity to separate organics effectively. 2 Qualifying businesses will be informed when composting capacity is secured and collec- tion programs are ready. 3 Businesses may make their own arrange- ments to send organic materials to com- posting and may be asked to verify those arrangements. 4 Edible food may be donated to qualified non-profits. We are compiling a list of groups that may be able to accept and distribute ed- ible food at no risk to donating businesses. For more information, look at the State’s fre- quently asked questions http://www.calrecycle. ca.gov/Recycle/Commercial/FAQ.htm Call the Mojave Desert and Mountain Recycling Authority at (888) 873-2925 or the Town of Yucca Valley’s Recycling Coordinator at (760) 369-7207, ext.
  • Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials

    Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials

    Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org Best Plants for Problem Clay Soils: Perennials Perennials Amsonia tabernaemontana — Bluestar This Missouri native features uptight clusters of light blue star-like flowers in late spring. Its narrow willow-like leaves turn yellow to peach-colored in fall. Bluestar may require staking if grown in shade and may be pruned after flowering to maintain a compact shape. It is most attractive when grown massed, in native plant gardens, shade gardens, open woodland areas, and borders. Asclepias incarnata — Swamp milkweed Despite its common name and native habitat, swamp milkweed may be grown in the average garden. Its fragrant white, pink or mauve flowers attract butterflies and mature into slender pods with silky-haired seeds. Swamp milkweed is a good choice for sunny, low or moist areas such as stream or pond banks, borders, and butterfly gardens. Baptisia australis — Blue false indigo Blue false indigo has beautiful purplish blue lupine-like flowers borne in erect spikes above the trifoliate leaves. The flowers mature into black seed pods that rattle in the breeze and are an interesting addition to dried flower arrangements. This herbaceous perennial does best in full sun as plants grown in part shade may grow taller and need support. Due to an extensive root system, blue false indigo will tolerate drought, but it should not be disturbed once it is established. Attractive in almost any situation including borders, prairies, cottage gardens, and native plant gardens, this plant is best used as a single specimen plant or in small groups.
