VEENMAN & ZONEN N.V. WAGENINGEN 1969 «llU*»»1" Dedicated to the memory of DR. H. J. TOXOPEUS one of the main initiators of this book who did not live to see it completed Foreword Plant breeding may be regarded as a driving force towards a higher standard of living. This is particularly true of the tropics where rich sources of germ plasm provide numerous possibilities of bringing together desirable characters. Equipped with a summary of the existing knowledge and experience in this field students and resear­ chers might be stimulated to exploit these possibilities more intensively. In the autumn of 1963 a small group of scientists considered practical ways of reviewing the work already done. It soon became apparent that, especially in the sphere of the perennial tropical crops a summary of the existing knowledge would fill a gap in literature. Because of their long breeding cycles, genetic improvement of this category of plants entails long term projects. During the execution of breeding pro­ grammes there are inevitable changes in staff so that published results may be frag­ mentary and dispersed throughout various journals which are often difficult of access. In 1963 two of the staff of the Wageningen Agricultural University's Institute of Plant Breeding, Dr. H. J. Toxopeus and Dr. F. P. Ferwerda, both having had wide experience in tropical plant breeding, volunteered as joint editors of such a review. Unfortunately Dr. Toxopeus died suddenly in February 1964 while collecting photo­ graphic material for this book. One of his former colleagues in Indonesia, Dr. F. Wit now of the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding at Wageningen was invited to succeed him as joint editor. This work has been dedicated to the memory of Dr. H. J. Toxopeus. Before the editorial work could even begin, the editorial board spared no effort to enlist those most qualified to write about the different crops. We thank them all for their assistance. When all the copy had been received the editors had the difficult task of welding the great diversity of material into a united whole. Publication of the book was financed by the Agricultural University and the Foun­ dation for the advancement of the breeding of field crops, both situated at Wagenin­ gen. Their help ensured a wide circulation for these 'Outlines of perennial crop bree­ ding in the tropics'. At last this book, the result of much effort, has been launched on its career in the scientific world and I wish it every success in its stated aim, which is to inspire renewed efforts in plant breeding and thus to contribute to the world's prosperity and to human welfare. J. Sneep. Editors' preface In predominantly agricultural tropical countries the need to raise the production of good-quality foodstuffs and raw material is today greater than ever. The rise in pro­ duction efficiency, so essential for our very existence, can be obtained only partly by improved cultural practices, increased use of fertilizers and better plant protection. It is now generally recognized that local varieties adapted to traditional cultural methods often fail to respond favourably to improved growing conditions. Therefore plant breeders have a most important part to play in the total effort. The greatest challenges and opportunities await them in the tropics. There the developments in agriculture and horticulture could be dramatic, provided that the planting material which is made available to the grower consists of genotypes giving the best results under the new conditions. In tropical agriculture and horticulture perennial crops occupy an important place. In several of them, especially in plantation crops, much effort has been given to im­ prove the plants by careful selection and breeding. Some breeding programmes have been going on for many years and have considerably increased the yield and improved the quality of the product. Only a few are in the picture of what has already been achieved. The information available to others is often scattered over reports from experimental stations and various scientific journals some of which are virtually inaccessible. In recent years several excellent monographs have been published about the chief tropical crops. Most of them have dealt, however, with mainly agricultural, technical or economic aspects, whereas only a few have concerned themselves more than super­ ficially with breeding. As yet there has been no book summarizing the attainments of breeding with the main perennial tropical crops, describing how it is done and indica­ ting what remains to be done for the near future. The present book is a modest joint effort to make good this deficiency. Almost all the crops are discussed by scientists knowing them from personal expe­ rience. Some variation in style and presentation has been inevitable, especially in view of the diverging peculiarities of each crop. Consequently the book tends to be a collec­ tion of essays, each dealing with the breeding of one particular crop rather than an integrated textbook. The editors, however, consider this an advantage. To keep the book's size within reasonable bounds, particular crops and particular aspects of selec­ tion and breeding have been chosen for treatment. The approach adopted has been to provide a wide view and a clear background without an exhaustive description of methods and techniques. Readers interested in particular aspects should consult the literature references at the end of each chapter. The book is intended as a guide to the student and as a source of reference to the scientist in the tropics who wants to acquaint himself with the progress and the results of breeding in a particular crop. This book could not have been completed without the assistance of many experts with experience of different crops in various tropical or subtropical countries. To all these contributors we are deeply indebted for their clear and concise surveys. Last but not least we thank Prof. Dr. J. Sneep, Director of the Institute of Plant Breeding, for his initiative and encouragement and Dr. H. de Haan and Dr. A. C. Zeven, whose valuable editorial experience contributed in no small part to the production of this book. One of its initiators, Dr. H. J. Toxopeus, did not live to see its completion. We dedicate the book to his memory. The Editors List of contributors BERGH, B. O. Dr., University of California, Department of Horticultural Science, Riverside, Cali­ fornia, U.S.A. CAMERON, J. W.

  • Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
    IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail.

  • CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018
    CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018 Citrus Nurseries affected by Hurricane Irma, September 2017 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Our Vision The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration will be diligent in providing high yielding, pathogen tested, quality budlines that will positively impact the productivity and prosperity of our citrus industry. Our Mission The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration administers a program to assist growers and nurserymen in producing citrus nursery trees that are believed to be horticulturally true to varietal type, productive, and free from certain recognizable bud-transmissible diseases detrimental to fruit production and tree longevity. Annual Report 2018 July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration Ben Rosson, Chief This is the 64th year of the Citrus Budwood Registration Program which began in Florida in 1953. Citrus budwood registration and certification programs are vital to having a healthy commercial citrus industry. Clean stock emerging from certification programs is the best way to avoid costly disease catastrophes in young plantings and their spread to older groves. Certification programs also restrict or prevent pathogens from quickly spreading within growing areas. Regulatory endeavors have better prospects of containing or eradicating new disease outbreaks if certification programs are in place to control germplasm movement. Budwood registration has the added benefit in allowing true-to-type budlines to be propagated. The selection of high quality cultivars for clonal propagation gives growers uniform plantings of high quality trees. The original mother stock selected for inclusion in the Florida budwood program is horticulturally evaluated for superior performance, either by researchers, growers or bureau staff.

  • Citrus Trees Grow Very Well in the Sacramento Valley!
    Citrus! Citrus trees grow very well in the Sacramento Valley! They are evergreen trees or large shrubs, with wonderfully fragrant flowers and showy fruit in winter. There are varieties that ripen in nearly every season. Citrus prefer deep, infrequent waterings, regular fertilizer applications, and may need protection from freezing weather. We usually sell citrus on rootstocks that make them grow more slowly, so we like to call them "semi-dwarf". We can also special-order most varieties on rootstocks that allow them to grow larger. Citrus size can be controlled by pruning. The following citrus varieties are available from the Redwood Barn Nursery, and are recommended for our area unless otherwise noted in the description. Oranges Robertson Navel Best selling winter-ripening variety. Early and heavy bearing. Cultivar of Washington Navel. Washington Navel California's famous winter-ripening variety. Fruit ripens in ten months. Jaffa (Shamouti) Fabled orange from Middle East. Very few seeds. spring to summer ripening. Good flavor. Trovita Spring ripening. Good in many locations from coastal areas to desert. Few seeds, heavy producer, excellent flavor. Valencia Summer-ripening orange for juicing or eating. Fifteen months to ripen. Grow your own orange juice. Seville Essential for authentic English marmalade. Used fresh or dried in Middle Eastern cooking. Moro Deep blood coloration, almost purple-red, even in California coastal areas. Very productive, early maturity, distinctive aroma, exotic berry-like flavor. Sanquinella A deep blood red juice and rind. Tart, spicy flavor. Stores well on tree. Mandarins / Tangerines Dancy The best-known Mandarin type. On fruit stands at Christmas time.

  • Riding Apparel and Equipment Lists 2020-2021
    RIDING APPAREL AND EQUIPMENT LISTS 2020-2021 FOR ALL EQUINE STUDIES MAJORS, MINORS, AND ELECTIVE RIDERS All items listed are required unless noted as optional. Note to all New Freshmen or Transfer Students: The Equine Studies Department recognizes that the list of items questions, we recommend that you wait to purchase any items in question. The University will offer a trip to a local tack shop during the first week or two of the Fall Semester. Many of the local tack shops offer a discount to Centenary students, be sure to bring your student ID or acceptance letter. The Equine Faculty feels strongly that you wait for their guidance if you are unsure about what to buy of any item. Some suggestions of what not to buy if you are unsure: helmets, show breeches, tall boots, show shirts and jackets, and saddles! In addition, some team coaches have specific requirements on their show clothes and they would be more than happy to help you during the first few weeks of school. Explanation of Helmet Policy: Proper protective headgear is an essential piece of equipment in all equestrian activities. Since all equine-related activities have some element of risk, the Equine Studies Department requires that all equine students wear ASTM/SEI (American Society for Testing and Materials/Safety Equipment Institute) approved helmets, with harness secured, when mounted at the Equestrian Center. Instructors have the right to check that students are wearing ASTM/SEI approved helmets with harness secured; however, it is the student’s responsibility (parent or guardian in the case of someone under eighteen) to ensure compliance with this rule.

CHRIS OLUKAYODE ADEDIRE FESN B.Sc., M.Sc (Ilorin), Ph.D. (lfe) Professor- of Etitomology' " 2· _ place between individuals, between collectivities, or between individuals and collectivities. Intergroup as well as intragroup conflicts are perennial features of social life". In the present context, conflict may be conceptualised as competition for the same resources; notably food, water, nutrients etc - except mating partners and it is interspecific. The Bible attests to the fact that there was ecological equilibrium at the dawn of creation because God said that all the things He created were good (Genesis 1:3 I). However, a significant step in the cultural evolution of man is the development oflarge scale cu Itivation or crops or monoculture and the capacity to store the excess crops so produced. This step, ' significant as it is, also led to the creation of artificial environment for insects; thus resulting in ecological imbalances. The built-up environment, road constructions, impoundment of inland waterways and various other activities associated with human development have all created breeding sites for some insects and intermediate hosts of the causative organisms of diseases at the expense of their natural enem ies. It is apparent, therefore, that either overtly or covertly, many human activities result into conflict either with fellow humans or with other components ofhis other biotic or abiotic environment. Consequently, cdriflicts in this context may be perceived as an integral part of human existence and may not necessarily result in the destruction of human society even though they start and terminate with or without human intervention. Sandole (1993) suggested that nothing.was inherently wrong with conflict but, instead, it.is seen as a catalyst for promoting social development, higher degree social order and new awareness in cooperative living.
