Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization response to three seed-applied fungicides
In soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) enhance nutrient and water status and may increase root resistance to soilborne pathogens. However, the fungicides that are routinely applied to the seed may reduce AM colonization, reducing these benefits. Thus, the objective of this research was to assess the effect of three commonly used seed-applied fungicides on AM colonization ...

Arundo Donax Removal in the Santa Ana River Watershed
Orange County Water District (OCWD) was awarded the Ruth Anderson Wilson Award by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority for its collaborative efforts in a program to remove Arundo donax (arundo) from the Santa Ana River watershed. The arundo removal program is also one reason the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency selected OCWD as a Clean Water Partner for 2003. Arundo donax, or the giant ...

AGRIMAT - Magen`s root zone heating system for greenhouses
Heating the root zone in greenhouses is a production method that focuses on an optimal temperature for the roots, the benefits are many and the energy savings are proven. Studies have shown that the temperature of the root zone is more critical for crop growth than for leaves. What are the benefits of AGRIMAT? If you ask the experts in the field they will tell you three significant benefits: ...

Controlling Nitrogen with Clinoptilolite
With skyrocketing prices on the fertilizer market, and record high contamination levels in runoff from soil leaching, solutions for fixing nutrients in the root zone are of paramount importance. The price of nitrogen fertilizer is always in flux, but as of recently there is a distinct and obvious spike. Fertilizer prices are on the rise. Meanwhile the broad use of fertilizer in agriculture has ...

Matrix-based fertilizers reduce nutrient and bacterial leaching after manure application in a greenhouse column study
Received for publication November 7, 2008. We tested the efficacy of matrix-based fertilizers (MBFs) to reduce Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp., NH4, NO3, dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), and total phosphorus (TP) in leachate and soil after dairy manure application in greenhouse column studies. The MBFs are composed of inorganic N and P in compounds that are relatively loosely bound ...

Goosegrass and Bermudagrass competition under compaction
Goosegrass (Eleusine indica L.) is a serious weed in trafficked areas of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) golf and sports turf. The objective of this study was to evaluate soil compaction and canopy cover as determinants of goosegrass competition in bermudagrass turf in sand soil. Goosegrass cover, plant density, and soil penetration resistance (SPR) were measured in traffic and no-traffic plots in ...

Choosing the Right Light for Young Plants
Horticulture lighting research has been conducted on young plants (germination, seedlings, plugs and cuttings) for many years. Michigan State University published a series of articles in Greenhouse Grower (see references below) on bedding plant seedlings. In their research, Drs. Wollaeger and Runkle experimented with different LED wavelengths and compared them to fluorescent light on seedling ...

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) on turfgrass: A university experience
ABSTRACT The practice of placing tubing and drip emitters beneath the soil surface to irrigate crops continues to gain acceptance in agriculture, particularly in the production of annual crops. However, the use of the subsurface drip method to irrigate turfgrass has only begun to be explored. This paper focuses on the experiences gained at California State University, Fresno (CSUF) in adopting ...

Non-Destructive Root Imaging - Webinar and Live Demo
Alright, so, we are just about a full house here already. So, we’ll get started with the presentation. As you should be able to see on your screen, it should say, “A Change of View: Using Root Imaging to Expand your Research by CID Bio-Science.” Online with me is actually our distribution manager, Suzy Truitt. She’ll be helping in the background facilitating with the Q ...
