This account presents comprehensive information on the biology of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. (P. communis Trin.; common reed) that is relevant to understanding its ecological char- acteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biologi- cal Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors and to the abiotic environment, plant structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and diseases, as well as history including invasive spread in other regions, and conservation. 2. Phragmites australis is a cosmopolitan species native to the British flora and widespread in lowland habitats throughout, from the Shetland archipelago to southern England. -

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. -
Crop Profile for Grapes (Wine) in California
Crop Profile for Grapes (Wine) in California Prepared: November 1999 Revised: February 2002 General Production Information ● Production. California produces 90% of the grapes grown in the United States and 7.7 % of grapes grown in the world (5,6). California is ranked number one in production of wine, table, and raisin grapes in the United States. California supplies 81% of the nation's crushed grape production (5). California produces 52% of the grape concentrate produced in the United States (5). ● Estimated bearing grape acreage in California in 2000 was 955,000 acres, of which 568,000 (59.5%) were wine grapes. In addition, in 2000 production from approximately 37,000 acres of Thompson Seedless, which is a raisin variety, were crushed for wine and concentrate. Non-bearing wine grape acreages was estimated at 110,000 acres. About 42% of the bearing wine grape acreage is in the southern San Joaquin Valley, 18% is in the northern interior Sacramento Valley, Delta and Foothills), 22% is on the North Coast and 17% is on the Central and South Coast. Organic growing acreage accounts for about 1.5% of the total grape growing acreage, though this acreage is increasing (California Certified Organic Farmers, personal communication). ● Ranking. Grapes (wine, table and raisin) are California's number one-ranked crop in dollar value, and the number two- ranked commodity in dollar value, following dairy production. In 2000, California’s wine grape crush was 3,951,185 tons, valued at about $2 billion. ● Varieties. Chardonnay accounted for 16.5% of the crush, followed by Thompson Seedless with 12.4%, French Colombard with 11%, Zinfandel with 10.2%, Cabernet Sauvignon with 9.1%, Merlot with 7.7%, Chenin Blanc with 3.8%, Rubired with 3.4%, Barbera with 3%, Grenache with 2.8% and all other varieties with 20.1% ● Growing Regions. -

L. (Rosaceae)] for consumption from continental Spain into the continental United States. Based on the scientific literature, port-of-entry pest interception data, and information from the government of Spain, we developed a list of all potential pests with actionable regulatory status for the continental United States that are known to occur in continental Spain and that are known to be associated with the commodity plant species anywhere in the world. From this list, we identified and further analyzed 9 organisms that have a reasonable likelihood of being associated with the commodity following harvesting from the field and prior to any post-harvest processing. Of the pests
