This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 4 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas (that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water) is: Coveralls Protective eyewear Waterproof gloves Shoes plus socks READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING ROMEO is a Systemic Resistance Inducer (SRI) that acts preventively. Its active ingredient (CEREVISANE – cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LAS117) strongly induces plant defense mechanisms, and so prepares the plant to defend itself against fungal and bacterial attacks. AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION INFORMATION General Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. This section is advisory and does not supersede any mandatory label requirements. Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that will provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). EPA REG. NO 91810-2 Page 3 of 10 Bracketed text [] is optional 12/14/2020 Draft Label for Amendment Action Controlling Droplet Size Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When high flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.

  • Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners
    Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners Flowering Quince Flowering quince is a group of three hardy, deciduous shrubs: Chaenomeles cathayensis, Chaenomeles japonica, and Chaenomeles speciosa. Native to eastern Asia, flowering quince is related to the orchard quince (Cydonia oblonga), which is grown for its edible fruit, and the Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis). Flowering quince is often referred to as Japanese quince (this name correctly refers only to C. japonica). Japonica is often used regardless of species, and flowering quince is still called Japonica by gardeners all over the world. The most commonly cultivated are the hybrid C. superba and C. speciosa, not C. japonica. Popular cultivars include ‘Texas Scarlet,’ a 3-foot-tall plant with red blooms; ‘Cameo,’ a double, pinkish shrub to five feet tall; and ‘Jet Trail,’ a white shrub to 3 feet tall. Flowering quince is hardy to USDA Zone 4 and is a popular ornamental shrub in both Europe and North America. It is grown primarily for its bright flowers, which may be red, pink, orange, or white. The flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter, with five petals, and bloom in late winter or early spring. The glossy dark green leaves appear soon after flowering and turn yellow or red in autumn. The edible quince fruit is yellowish-green with reddish blush and speckled with small dots. The fruit is 2 to 4 inches in diameter, fragrant, and ripens in fall. The Good The beautiful blossoms of flowering quince Flowering quince is an easy-to-grow, drought-tolerant shrub that does well in shady spots as well as sun (although more sunlight will produce better flowers).

  • Pathogens on Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles Japonica) Plants
    Pathogens on Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles japonica) Plants Pathogens on Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles japonica) Plants I. Norina, K. Rumpunenb* aDepartment of Crop Science, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden Present address: Kanslersvägen 6, 237 31 Bjärred, Sweden bBalsgård–Department of Horticultural Plant Breeding, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Kristianstad, Sweden *Correspondence to [email protected] SUMMARY In this paper, a survey of pathogens on Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) plants is reported. The main part of the study was performed in South Sweden, in experimental fields where no pesticides or fungicides were applied. In the fields shoots, leaves, flowers and fruits were collected, and fruits in cold storage were also sampled. It was concluded that Japanese quince is a comparatively healthy plant, but some fungi were identified that could be potential threats to the crop, which is currently being developed for organic growing. Grey mould, Botrytis cinerea, was very common on plants in the fields, and was observed on shoots, flower parts, fruits in all stages and also on fruits in cold storage. An inoculation experiment showed that the fungus could infect both wounded and unwounded tissue in shoots. Studies of potted plants left outdoors during winter indicated that a possible mode of infection of the shoots could be through persist- ing fruits, resulting in die-back of shoots. Fruit spots, brown lesions and fruit rot appeared in the field. Most common were small red spots, which eventually developed into brown rots. Fungi detected in these spots were Septoria cydoniae, Phlyctema vagabunda, Phoma exigua and Entomosporium mespili. The fact that several fungi were con- nected with this symptom indicates that the red colour may be a general response of the host, rather than a specific symptom of one fungus.

Quinces were collected at maturity (September) in Murcia (Spain). Quinces were converted at a processing factory in pulp (intermediate product) and, in the same factory, this pulp was transformed in jam. The pH, soluble solids, acidity, color, moisture, water activity, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, vitamin C and flavonoids were measured for all samples, while for microbiological analysis was only used quince jam. There were significant differences among quince fruit, industrial pulp and commercial jam. Processing caused pH, moisture and water activity decrease, while soluble solids increase. Total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity increased in the pulp and in the jam. The effect of cooking and storage was a decrease of vitamin C and flavonoids in the jam. Quince jam presented a total number of molds and yeasts lower than 2 log cfu/g. Although the production parameters affect to the quality of the quince jam, it is a sensory attractive food

Page 1/14 Abstract The genus Chaenomeles has long been considered as an important ornamental, herbal and cash plant and widely cultivated in East Asian. Traditional researches of Chaenomeles mainly focus on evolutionary relationships on phenotypic level. In this study, we conducted RNA-seq for 10 Chaenomeles germplasms supplemented with one related species Docynia delavayi (D. delavay) by Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. After de novo assemblies, we have generated unigenes for each germplasm with numbers from 40 084 to 48 487. By pairwise comparison of the orthologous sequences, 9 659 othologus within the 11 germplasms were obtained, with 6 154 othologous genes identied as single-copy genes. The phylogenetic tree was visualized to reveal evolutionary relationship for these 11 germplasms. GO and KEGG analyses were performed for these common single-copy genes to compare the functional similarities and differences.

  • Control of Mango Anthracnose by Using Chinese Quince
    Food and Applied Bioscience Journal, 2019 (Special Issue on Agriculture and Agro-Industry): 72–89 72 Control of Mango Anthracnose by Using Chinese Quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis) Seed Extract Lia Angraeni 1, Yasunori Hamauzu 2, Wirongrong Thongdeesoontorn 1,4 and Matchima Naradisorn 1, 3,* Abstract Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis Schneid.) has been known in its rich in phenolic compounds. However, Chinese quince seed is usually a waste which may also contain high phenolic compound. The objectives of this study were to investigate the potential in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of Chinese quince seed extract against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the causal agent of anthracnose disease in mango cv. ‘Nam Dok Mai Si Thong’. The seeds were extracted by using distilled water in ratio of seed powder to water at 1:10 (w/v) and tested at concentrations of 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% (w/v). In vitro antimicrobial activities were observed through mycelial radial growth and spore germination assays while in vivo assay was observed on mango fruits. Chinese quince seed extract at different concentrations was added into film-forming solution to prepare Chinese quince seed film for antifungal test. The total phenolic content in Chinese quince seed extract was 48.84 ± 1.71 mg GAE / 100 g wet sample. The 1.5% extract showed mycelial growth inhibition of C. gloeosporioides at 82.59% after 5 days of incubation, while 0.5% and 1% extract had lower inhibitory effect (78.85% and 78.41%, respectively). Spore germination in untreated control (23.68%) was significantly less (p < 0.05) than that in 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% extracts (61.31%, 52.86% and 55.75%, respectively).
