  • Tolerance of Vegetable Crops to Salinity M.C
    Scientia Horticulturae 78 (1999) 5±38 Tolerance of vegetable crops to salinity M.C. Shannon*, C.M. Grieve U.S. Salinity Laboratory, Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 450 W. Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507, USA Abstract Global constraints on fresh water supplies and the need to dispose of agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste waters have intensified interest in water reuse options. In many instances, the value of the water is decreased solely because of its higher salt concentration. Although quantitative information on crop salt tolerance exists for over 130 crop species, there are many vegetables which lack definitive data. Vegetable crops are defined as herbaceous species grown for human consumption in which the edible portions consist of leaves, roots, hypocotyls, stems, petioles, and flower buds. The salt tolerance of vegetable species is important because the cash value of vegetables is usually high compared to field crops. In this review some general information is presented on how salinity affects plant growth and development and how different measurements of salinity in solution cultures, sand cultures, and field studies can be reconciled to a common basis. The salt tolerance of vegetables has been condensed and reported in a uniform format based on the best available data. Discrepancies and inconsistencies exist in some of the information due to differences in cultivars, environments, and experimental conditions. For a great number of species little or no useful information exists and there is an obvious need for research. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Keywords: Salt tolerance; Ion composition Contents 1. Introduction ............................................................ 7 1.1.

  • Plan for Notifying Employees Not to Report to Work
    PLAN FOR NOTIFYING EMPLOYEES NOT TO REPORT TO WORK The Hanford Administrative Committee, in accordance with Article XIII, Section 4., has determined that the following plan will be implemented by the EMPLOYER for the purpose of notifying employees covered by the Hanford Site Stabilization Agreement not to report to work. The EMPLOYER will cause an announcement to be made over local radio stations broadcasting within the Tri-Cities and Yakima areas at least two hours prior to the employees’ regular starting time advising that construction operations are closed and that the EMPLOYERS’ employees should not report to work. A general announcement will be considered to apply to all employees of the EMPLOYER, and to all activities of the EMPLOYER, except for those employees and/or activities which are specifically identified as not be affected by the announcement. Further, employees will recognize and adhere to a similar announcement issued by the OWNER, the U.S. Department of Energy, and will assume that such general announcements addressing the Hanford site and/or Hanford employees will include employees of the EMPLOYERS. The announcement will apply only to the shift immediately following the time of the announcement unless the announcement gives instructions to the contrary. Every effort will be made by the EMPLOYER (or OWNER) to get the announcement on the following radio stations: TRI-CITIES YAKIMA KALE - FM 95 KONA - AM 169 KUTI - AM 980 KZZK - FM 102.7 KORD - AM 870 KIT - AM 1280 KONA - FM 105.3 KIOK - AM 960 KHWK - FM 106.5 KOTY - AM 1340 Travel Pay Effective: 09/01/08 APPENDIX “A” HANFORD DAILY TRAVEL PAY Daily Travel Pay for Construction Crafts will be paid as follows: Area Daily Pay 300 $18.50 400 $18.50 200 East $22.00 200 West $22.75 100 (All) $23.50 Rev.

The term “flowering” derives from the shape and “Kale” is a Scottish word derived from coles or caulis, terms coloration of the plant, which resembles a flower, and does used by the Greeks and Romans in referring to the whole not refer to actual flowers. cabbage-like group of plants. The German word “kohl” has the same origin. The Scotch varieties have deeply curled grayish green leaves. Kale is native to the Mediterranean or to Asia Minor. It was introduced to America from Europe as early as the 17th century. Kale is not a big commercial crop in Florida, but is found in about one out of ten home gardens. Most southern gardeners, including Floridians, prefer collards to kale. Culture and Use Kale produces seed in the second year. It is grown from seed as an annual. Culture is similar to that for cabbage and collards. Throughout Florida, it can be seeded or transplanted from September through March with fairly good results. For best results, it should be planted so that harvest takes place in the coolest months. For home use, Figure 1. Kale (flowering) Credits: James M. Stephens some of the leaves are stripped off as needed; the plants then continue to produce more leaves. It takes about 2½ to 3 months from seeding to harvest. The main problems are those that occur on cabbage and collards.

  • Ornamental Cabbage and Kale, Brassica Oleracea in the Fall, Chyrsanthemums and Pansies Are the Predominant Plants Offered for Seasonal Color
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 3 Sept 2007 Ornamental Cabbage and Kale, Brassica oleracea In the fall, chyrsanthemums and pansies are the predominant plants offered for seasonal color. But another group of cold-tolerant plants without fl owers can help brighten the fall garden when almost ev- erything else is looking tired and ready for winter. Ornamental cabbage and kale are the same species as edible cabbages, broccoli, and caulifl ower (Bras- sica oleracea) but have much fancier and more col- orful foliage than their cousins from the vegetable garden. While these plants are sometimes offered as “fl owering” cabbage and kale, they are grown for their large rosettes of colorful leaves, not the fl owers. These plants are very showy and come in a variety of colors, ranging from white to pinks, purples or reds. Even though they are technically all kales (kale does not produce a head; instead, it produces leaves in a tight rosette), by convention those types with deeply- cut, curly, frilly or ruffl ed leaves are called ornamen- Ornamental kale makes a dramatic massed planting. tal kale, while the ones with broad, fl at leaves often edged in a contrasting color are called ornamental cabbage. The plants grow about a foot wide and 15” tall. Ornamental cabbages and kales do not tolerate summer heat, and plants set out in spring will likely have bolted or declined in appearance, so it is necessary to either start from seed in mid-summer or purchase trans- plants for a good fall show.
