A very special welcome to our International members, who have traveled far to be with us. In addition, a warm welcome and a big thank you to our friends and colleagues in the corporate world who have chosen our Conference to attend. Thank you and welcome to all the folks that brought an exhibition booth. It takes a lot of effort to bring all the display materials, and we do appreciate their hard work. Please take a moment and visit the booths, and thank them for sharing their business with us. We have a great Conference planned for you. You can expect sizzling hot speakers, interesting colloquia, educational workshops, excellent symposia, fun tours, and other fi ery activities. This year all of our ASHS awards will be presented to outstanding and deserving individuals who have gone above and beyond for horticulture. When you see the award winners, give them a hearty and warm congratulations, or better yet, attend the Awards Ceremony, and watch them be honored. This year’s Conference is held in the heart of the Coachella Valley. The Coachella Valley is among the largest crop-growing regions in California. More than two-thirds of local farmland is irrigated in part with Colorado River water delivered via the All-American Canal. More than 60% of area farms use drip or other microirrigation techniques. The horticulture industry in 2011 was valued at $535 million, more than a dozen different kinds of fruit are grown valued at $225 million, and at least two dozen types of vegetables are grown worth $215 million. The nursery industry is valued at $30 million, and the turf and golf courses add another $65 million. This is the primary date-growing region in the United States, responsible for nearly 95% of the nation’s crop, and celebrated each year with a National Date Festival. USDA horticulturist Bernard Johnson planted a number of date palm shoots that he brought back from Algeria in September 1903. The area’s entire date industry can be traced back to this original USDA horticulturist’s work. Horticulture is the life blood of this impressive valley. Lastly, I express gratitude to you for attending the Conference. Without you and your continued support of ASHS, we would not be the best horticulture society in the world. Sincerely, Paul W.

  • 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.

  • Conotrachelus Nenuphar
    EPPO Datasheet: Conotrachelus nenuphar Last updated: 2021-02-26 IDENTITY Preferred name: Conotrachelus nenuphar Authority: (Herbst) Taxonomic position: Animalia: Arthropoda: Hexapoda: Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae Common names: plum curculio, plum weevil view more common names online... EPPO Categorization: A1 list view more categorizations online... EU Categorization: A1 Quarantine pest (Annex II A) EPPO Code: CONHNE more photos... HOSTS Conotrachelus nenuphar, a native weevil of North America, was originally a pest of native rosaceous plants. However, the introduction of exotic rosaceous plants into North America, notably cultivated plants such as apple ( Malus domestica) and peach (Prunus persica) trees, widened the host range of C. nenuphar and demonstrated its adaptability to new hosts (Maier, 1990). The distribution of C. nenuphar broadly conforms to the distribution of its native wild hosts Prunus nigra, Prunus americana and Prunus mexicana (Smith and Flessel, 1968). Other wild hosts include Amelanchier arborea, A. canadensis, Crataegus spp., Malus spp., Prunus alleghaniensis, P. americana, P. maritima, P. pensylvanica, P. pumila, P. salicina, P. serotina, P. virginiana and Sorbus aucuparia (Maier, 1990). Important cultivated hosts are apples, pears (Pyrus), peaches, plums and cherries (Prunus) and blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum). In addition to its rosaceous main hosts, C. nenuphar can also be found on blackcurrants (Ribes spp. - Grossulariaceae) and blueberries (Vaccinium spp. - Ericaceae) (Maier, 1990). Second generation C. nenuphar adults appear to attack a narrower range of some cultivated species than the first generation (Lampasona et al., 2020). Prunus, Pyrus and Malus spp. are widely cultivated throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region. In addition, if the pest was introduced to this region, the adaptability of the species to new hosts would probably result in an extended host range.

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge.

  • Tropical Horticulture Lecture 16 IPM & Weed Control in the Tropics
    Tropical Horticulture Lecture 16 IPM & Weed Control in the Tropics IPM is a system in which a combination of methods is used to maintain pest populations at levels that allow profitable crop production with minimal adverse effects on the environment. 1 2 3 Also called informed decision making: The decision maker gathers as much information as is necessary to make the best decision on pest control for the particular situation. To make these decisions the farmer must understand the crop, production practices, pests, and available tools. The Underlying Premise of IPM It is a scientifically proven fact that when current production technologies are properly integrated and precisely managed, the production goals of immediate economic gain and long-term sustainability are mutually reinforcing. 4 Nonchemical Pest Management Techniques • Cultural • Biological control • Resistant cultivars • Mechanical • Quarantines 5 Cultural • Tillage • Cultivar selection • Rotation • Mulches • Crop residue destruction • Spacing • Irrigation • Row orientation • Intercropping/strip • Cover crops • Planting date (timing) • Burning residues • Fertility • No till 6 Biological (most useful for insects) • Conservation of natural enemies • Importing natural enemies • Mass culture and release of natural enemies • Biopesticides (insects, diseases, weeds) • Allelopathy Host Plant Resistance • Tolerance • Nonpreference • Physical resistance • Chemical resistance 7 Quarantines • Exclusion • Sanitation • Restrictions • APHIS - exports Steps in Successful Pest Management 1.

Himsagar) was conducted at Central Research Farm, Gayeshpur, B.C.K.V., Nadia, West Bengal. The age of the plant is 7 years old with a spacing of 10x10m which provide the utilization of land space between the plants as an intercrop. Pooled data reveals that the maximum number of fruits 192.41 / tree and yield 46.09 kg / tree were found in Mango + Cowpea whereas maximum fruit weight (254.16 g) in Mango + Lentil. Most of the physical parameters such as fruit length and breadth maximum were recorded (8.20 cm and 7.21 cm respectively) in Mango + Cowpea. But, in case of peel weight (35.67 g) was highest in Mango + Soyabean whereas the higher stone weight (35.79 g) was in sole crop (Mango) only. Again, pulp weight and pulp: stone ratio (193.53 www.IndianJournals.com g and 5.80) were observed in Mango + Frenchbean respectively.
