On behalf of the Board of Directors, ASHS staff, Technical Committee, and volunteers, we welcome you to sunny Florida. We hope these next few days will be filled with information you can use, relaxation and reflection that will inspire your work, as well as good times with colleagues and new friends. If you are an undergraduate student, I hope you feel welcome, meet new colleagues and leave inspired to make a difference in horticultural science. Come to the Service Project on Monday morning, July 28, and meet fellow students. Talk to new people, go on a tour and see how many talks and posters you can review before your head starts to spin! May this conference help you fulfill your dreams. If you are a graduate student, I hope you find colleagues to challenge and collaborate with your research ideas and projects. You are in the perfect spot to meet leaders in horticulture, to network for your dream job and to expand your knowledge. I look forward to meeting you, since one of you will very likely be leading this society 10 years from today. If you are an active member, thank you for attending. With hundreds of abstracts to review and presentations crammed into a few days, it’s a busy time, with choices to make every hour! I hope the conference meets your needs. If you have a topic you think should be on the agenda, bring it up to the appropriate Working Group, or talk to me or another Board member. The Society is only as good as we, the active members, make it. If you are an emeritus member, thank you for your continued attendance. You are one of the reasons our Society remains strong. I urge you to reach out to the students here and welcome them, ask what they are interested in and tell them what horticulture means to you. When you leave the conference this year, I hope you will feel the importance of ASHS, have learned about the new national initiative to promote horticulture, and feel inspired, refreshed and renewed. Remember the value and fulfillment of the Conference begins with you Sincerely, Mary Hockenberry Meyer ASHS President 2014 ASHS Annual Conference 1 ASHS Annual Conference July 28–31, 2014 • Orlando, FL Contents General Information Welcome letter from ASHS President Conference Facilities: All conference activities will take Mary H.

Archbold Received: 1 December 2015; Accepted: 27 September 2016; Published: 26 October 2016 Abstract: During the previous three decades, organic produce has attracted the attention of a growing health-conscious population across the globe. Both international and domestic communities are becoming aware of issues like agrochemical residues, produce quality, and food safety. Worldwide, over 37.5 million ha of land (0.87% of total agricultural land) is being managed organically by 1.9 million producers in 164 countries. In addition, there is another 31 million ha certified for wild harvest collection. Global sales of organic products have reached U.S. $75 billion, with the U.S. and Europe as the largest consumers. The concept of organic farming is not new to the Indian farming community. Several forms of organic farming are successfully practiced in diverse climates, particularly in rain-fed, tribal mountains, and hilly areas of the country. Many of the forest products of economic importance, such as herbs and medicinal plants are in this category by default. The report of the Task Force on Organic Farming appointed by the Government of India noted the vast areas of the country where limited amounts of synthetic chemicals are used, although they have low productivity, but also which could have unexploited potential for organic agriculture.

  • Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 1
    Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Lecture 32 Citrus Citrus: Citrus spp., Rutaceae Citrus are subtropical, evergreen plants originating in southeast Asia and the Malay archipelago but the precise origins are obscure. There are about 1600 species in the subfamily Aurantioideae. The tribe Citreae has 13 genera, most of which are graft and cross compatible with the genus Citrus. There are some tropical species (pomelo). All Citrus combined are the most important fruit crop next to grape. 1 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 The common features are a superior ovary on a raised disc, transparent (pellucid) dots on leaves, and the presence of aromatic oils in leaves and fruits. Citrus has increased in importance in the United States with the development of frozen concentrate which is much superior to canned citrus juice. Per-capita consumption in the US is extremely high. Citrus mitis (calamondin), a miniature orange, is widely grown as an ornamental house pot plant. History Citrus is first mentioned in Chinese literature in 2200 BCE. First citrus in Europe seems to have been the citron, a fruit which has religious significance in Jewish festivals. Mentioned in 310 BCE by Theophrastus. Lemons and limes and sour orange may have been mutations of the citron. The Romans grew sour orange and lemons in 50–100 CE; the first mention of sweet orange in Europe was made in 1400. Columbus brought citrus on his second voyage in 1493 and the first plantation started in Haiti. In 1565 the first citrus was brought to the US in Saint Augustine. 2 Tropical Horticulture: Lecture 32 Taxonomy Citrus classification based on morphology of mature fruit (e.g.

  • Effect of Different Organic Wastes on Soil Pro- Perties and Plant Growth and Yield: a Review
    ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES EFFECT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIC WASTES ON SOIL PRO- pertieS AND PLANT GROWTH AND YIELD: A REVIEW M.Z. Hossain1, P. von Fragstein und Niemsdorff2, J. Heß2 1Khulna University, Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna, Bangladesh 2University of Kassel, Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences, Department of Organic Farming and Cropping System, Nordbahnhofstr. 1a, 37213 Witzenhausen, Germany The use of organic wastes in agriculture plays a great role in recycling essential plant nutrients, sustaining soil security as well as protecting the environment from unwanted hazards. This review article deals with the effect of different kinds of organic wastes on soil properties and plant growth and yield. Municipal solid waste is mainly used as a source of nitrogen and organic matter, improving soil properties and microbial activity that are closely related to soil fertility. Biowaste and food waste in- crease pH, nitrogen content, cation exchange capacity, water holding capacity, and microbial biomass in soil. Sewage sludge contains various amounts of organic matter and huge amounts of plant nutrients. Manure is a common waste which improves soil properties by adding nutrients and increases microbial and enzyme activity in soil. It also reduces toxicity of some heavy metals. These organic wastes have a great positive impact on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties as well as stimulate plant growth and thus increase the yield of crops. municipal solid waste, soil nutrients, sewage sludge, food waste, manure doi: 10.1515/sab-2017-0030 Received for publication on October 14, 2016 Accepted for publication on April 22, 2017 INTRODUCTION puropse to improve soil properties and increase crop yield is a good solution for minimizing these problems.

  • POMEGRANATE Did You Know: Breaking Into a Pomegranate Will Reward You with Hundreds of Tiny Seeds (Called Arils) Surrounded by a Translucent Pith
    TRY THIS: POMEGRANATE Did you know: breaking into a pomegranate will reward you with hundreds of tiny seeds (called arils) surrounded by a translucent pith. The arils are sweet and juice-packed with a white crunchy seed inside. Most people eat the whole aril, including the fiber-rich seed, but you can also spit the seed out. Pomegranates are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C and K, also packing in a good source of potassium, folate, and copper. Give them a try- they are easy to use and their taste won’t disappoint. How to: Pick it: Choose pomegranates that are plump, round, heavy for their size, and have a glossy, deep red skin. Store it: Store it in a cool dry cupboard to stay fresh for several weeks or in your fridge for up to 2 months Use it: To free the tiny seeds and avoid spraying yourself with the seed’s juice place a halved or quartered pomegranate in a bowl of water. Once in the water, simply use your fingers to loosen the red seeds. The seeds will sink, the white pith floats. Enjoy the seeds by popping a few in your mouth, topping onto salads or yogurt, or trying one of the recipes below! When it’s in season: August to January POMEGRANATE CHICKEN SALAD POMEGRANATE SALSA Servings: 6 Servings: about 10 Ingredients: Ingredients: 1 c. canned pineapple tidbits, drained, juice reserved 1 ¾ c. pomegranate seeds (from 2 pomegranates) 3 c. cooked chicken, diced 1/3 c. 100% pomegranate juice ½ c. diced celery Juice of 1 lime 1 c.
