At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado. Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree ...
Potato growers should apply slug pellets regularly and especially before the canopy meets between the row. Apply a protective treatment of slug pellets when there is between 50 -75% canopy cover to help maintain protection until after canopy closure. ...
“We’ve already noted an increased level of damage from slugs feeding over the winter, especially on oilseed rape canopies, and pest alerts have warned of high levels of juvenile slugs this year. ...
Low, control, and high R:FR treatments were established by varying corn plant density (107,600, 53,800, and 3000 plants ha–1, respectively). At canopy closure (V7 corn), R:FR in the low, control, and high R:FR treatments was 0.23, 0.49, and 0.99, respectively. ...
Narrower rows and solid plantings tended to close canopy earlier and more completely, to suppress weed growth, and to mature earlier than in wider rows and skip-row patterns. Incomplete canopy closure in wider skip-row spacings resulted in less weed suppression, but weed growth in skipped rows diminished with narrower row spacing. ...
The relationship between LAI or BAI and stand density was significantly weaker (r2 < 0.20) at stand ages characterized by canopy closure (50–175 years), suggesting that stand structure and production are closely linked. ...
We modeled change in spatial pattern and heterogeneity across the entire landscape and found a small, net decrease in woody canopy cover, however means disguised normal distributions of change that demonstrated offsetting increases and decreases. We described a region of widespread canopy decline within piñon-juniper forests between 2300 and 2600 m (7500–8500 ...
