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.

  • Peony, Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe Polygoni)
    Problem: Peony, Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe polygoni) Host Plants: Peony Description: Powdery mildew starts as individual spots that resemble snowflakes but rapidly coalesce to cover the entire leaf so that a plant look like it was dusted with flour. Though common on other plants such as lilac and bee balm, it has been relatively rare on peony until the last few years. Recommendations: Poor air movement and shade make the disease more likely. Growing peonies in full sun with good air movement will help minimize the disease. Fungicides can be effective if applied before infection has occurred. Therefore, heavily infected plants should not be treated as the treatment will be ineffective. Fortunately, the disease should cause no lasting damage to the plant. Remove and discard (or compost) infected plant material at the end of the season. Look for individual spots to appear the following spring and then apply a recommended fungicide before the disease has spread. Suggested fungicides include myclobutanil (Eagle, Spectracide Immunox, Monterey Fungi-Maxx, Fertilome F- Stop Lawn & Garden Fungicide), propiconazole (Banner MAXX, Fertilome Liquid Systemic Fungicide, Bonide Infuse Systemic Disease Control) or tebuconazole (BioAdvanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers & Shrubs).

  • 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.

  • Peach Volatile Emission and Attractiveness of Different Host Plant
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Peach volatile emission and attractiveness of diferent host plant volatiles blends to Cydia molesta in adjacent peach and pear orchards Peng‑fei Lu1* & Hai‑li Qiao2 The oriental fruit moth (OFM), Cydia (= Grapholitha) molesta, is a highly damaging pest; peaches are its primary host, and pears serve as post‑peach secondary hosts during the late season in China. We collected volatiles from detached peach shoots and fruits, and identifed them with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Antennally active compounds were identifed by gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), and these were further tested in the laboratory and feld. We detected consistent electroantennographic activity was for ten compounds. Signifcantly more C. molesta females were caught with a mixture of female EAD-active compounds identifed from the detached matured peach fruits (nonanal, butyl acetate, 3-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, linalool and farnesene) than other mixtures mimicking the volatile profle from detached matured fruits or shoots. We identifed a new GC-EAD active mixture from intact peach shoots composed of nonanal, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (E)-β-ocimene, and 6-methyl- 5-hepten-2-one. In the feld test, the background odour of orchards could afect trap catches, and two peach-derived blends together with two previously known pear-derived blends were proven to be able to monitor the seasonal OFM population dispersal in adjacent orchards. These host plant blends will be efective for further designing candidate attractants for season-long C. molesta population dynamic monitoring. Phytochemicals are important olfactory cues for moths to fnd hosts and lay eggs 1–4.

  • 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. Baptisia australis var.

Martin Extension Agent, Horticulture Franklin County Gardeners often seek that "perfect" herbaceous (non-woody) perennial plant to fill a special location or need in the landscape. Below are listed some perennial plants useful for special purposes based on central Ohio growing conditions and experiences. Your experience with the plant may vary somewhat. Of course, this list is not all inclusive, but includes plants that should perform well for you; use it as a guide and then plan some further research on your own. Sometimes many plants in a genus will fit the category given and are listed as "Hosta spp.," for instance. Do more research to narrow your selection within the genus.
