  • Yield Variations of Some Common Wild Berries in Finland in 1956–1996

Wallenius Wallenius, T. H., Department of Ecology and Systematics, P.O. Box 47, FIN-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland Received 22 January 1999, accepted 6 September 1999 Wallenius, T. H. 1999: Yield variations of some common wild berries in Finland in 1956–1996. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 36: 299–314. Estimates of some of the most common wild berry abundances and changes in their yields compared with the previous year were made in 1956–1996 as a part of the annual autumn game inquiries. The berries included in the inquiry were bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.), cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus L.), both cranberry species (Vaccinium oxycoccos L. and V. microcarpum (Rupr.) Schmalh.), crowberry (Empetrum nigrum L.), rowan (Sorbus aucuparius L.), and wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.). On average, 500 observers throughout the country participated annually in the inquiry. Despite the subjective nature of the berry yield estimates, the results are valid for assessing annual changes in the yields of the most common wild berries as well as in long-term trends. The results are coincident with berry researchers’ observations that the yields of cloudberry and wild strawberry have declined during the last decades. The significant (p < 0.01) positive correlations be- tween the yields of the different berry species indicate that meteorological factors influ- ence yields of most berry species in a similar way.

The experiments were conducted as a randomized block design with four replicates in a commercial raspberry orchard in the locality Trešnjevica (Arilje) in western Serbia. All fungicides were applied preventively, four times until the beginning of harvest and once after harvest. The effects of the products tested were assessed three weeks after the last fungicide application according to the intensity of cane infection. Disease severity in control (untreated) plots were 53.7 (2014) and 76.3% (2016). In both years, the highest efficacy was achieved by tebuconazole (96.3 and 99.6%), followed by fluopyram (95.7 and 99.3%) and boscalid (94.7 and 95.9%). The broad-spectrum multi-site fungicides mancozeb, chlorothalonil, copper hydroxide and dithianon were effective against D.

    Farm to School Month – Week Five: Indigenous Food Focus Salmonberry/Cloudberry Day!! Many thanks go out to Melissa Chlupach, Regional Healthcare Dietitian with NANA Management Services, for all her help with all the information she has provided me for each Wednesday this month celebrating Indigenous Foods We Eat! All information I have listed below is based on the materials she has passed along. Thank you, Melissa!! SALMONBERRY/CLOUDBERRY Let’s learn about salmonberries and cloudberries today!! Why take a whole day to look at these two berries? Well, whether you are in Southcentral, the Kenai, or the Southeast Alaska and pick high bush salmonberries or live in Northern or Western Alaska and pick low bush salmonberries (cloudberries), you know how healthy and delicious these little berries can be!! The Roots of Salmonberry/Cloudberry History • Both of these berries are members of the rose (Rosaceae) family and one or the other is found all around Alaska. • Even though the some of the colors and shape of these berries are similar and they are in the same family, these two berries grow and taste very different. • All Alaska wild berries, have high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants are a group of physiologically active compounds that work to neutralize free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons). • Historical references document early use of cloudberries to prevent and treat scurvy as well as the medicinal use of the roots and leaves of the plant. • Both berries are considered an important food of the Alaska Native people as sources rich in vitamins A and C.

TOTIC State University of Novi Pazar, Novi Pazar, Republic of Serbia Abstract TOTIC, I., 2014. Raspberry breeding and protection against disease and pests. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 391-404 The raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is a very important type of small perennial berry. Based on the extent of its production, it comes second only to the strawberry and currant, and based on its economic importance, it is second only to the strawberry. Considering that the first raspberry cultivars in the true sense of the word originated from the beginning of the 17th century, polmology has managed to this day to register and systematize over one thousand raspberry cultivars. The raspberry belongs to the group of products, which have the greatest degree of marketability, and in some countries (the Republic of Serbia) over 99 % of the overall production is meant to be sold on the market. In suitable agro-ecological and technical conditions (a profes- sional staff, processing and freezing capacities, organized purchase locations, high quality roads and means of transportation, a sufficient workforce needed to harvest the crop), it is possible to achieve a yield of up to 35 tons per acre. Raspberry canes meant for planting need to be formed in suitable soil and must be healthy. Raspberries are traditionally cultivated in open ar- eas, and lately also in high tunnels. The canes are susceptible to disease caused by different types of pests and weeds. In order to protect them, it is necessary to regularly resort to pomotechnic and agrotechnic measures in order to prevent cane decay and a poor harvest.

Received: 4 July 2020; Accepted: 27 July 2020; Published: 29 July 2020 Abstract: While the current consumption of wild food plants in the taiga of the American continent is a relatively well-researched phenomenon, the European taiga area is heavily underrepresented in the scientific literature. The region is important due to its distinctive ecological conditions with restricted seasonal availability of wild plants. During an ethnobotanical field study conducted in 2018–2019, 73 people from ten settlements in the Republic of Karelia were interviewed. In addition, we conducted historical data analysis and ethnographical source analysis. The most widely consumed wild food plants are forest berries (three Vaccinium species, and Rubus chamaemorus), sap-yielding Betula and acidic Rumex. While throughout the lifetime of the interviewees the list of used plants did not change considerably, the ways in which they are processed and stored underwent several stages in function of centrally available goods, people’s welfare, technical progress, and ideas about the harm and benefit of various products and technological processes.

  • The Ethnoecology and Reproductive Ecology of Bakeapple (Rubus Chamaemorus L., Rosaceae) in Southern Labrador
    The ethnoecology and reproductive ecology of bakeapple (Rubus chamaemorus L., Rosaceae) in southern Labrador Amanda Karst B.Sc., University of Regina, 2002 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of Biology O Amanda Karst, 2005 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy of other means, without the permission of the author Co-supervisors Dr. Nancy J. Turner and Dr. Gerry Allen ABSTRACT Bakeapple (Rubus chamaemovus L.; Rosaceae) is a circumpolar herbaceous perennial typically found in peat bogs. Bakeapple fruits have served as a vital food - resource for many northern peoples including those of the Subarctic and Arctic areas of North America. Although the reproductive ecology and habitat requirements of this plant have been studied extensively in Scandinavia, there has been scant research on bakeapple populations in Canada. Furthermore, there has been little documentation of its use or ethnoecology in many parts of Canada, especially in Newfoundland and Labrador. For this research I worked in the predominantly Metis community of Charlottetown, Labrador, where there has been a long tradition of bakeapple use. My objectives were to: 1. Document traditional use and major changes in use of bakeapple by this community; 2. Determine the most important factors influencing fruit production in local bakeapple populations; and 3. Link community observations on the ecology of this species with previous research and ecological data from my study in the area. To examine traditional use and knowledge of bakeapple in the community of Charlottetown, I conducted semi-directed in-depth interviews with knowledgeable bakeapple pickers in the community.
