Previous efforts to develop rough allometric woody biomass equations for vines notwithstanding, there is still a need to improve our precision in estimating of how biomass changes with different parameters. Because the present analysis was conducted for 15 year old Cabernet vines, there is now a need for calibrating how vine C varies with age, …

These practices include use of vegetative shoots to shade the fruit, using shade cloths to reduce berry radiative heating, spraying berries with a natural “sunscreen” such as a clay compound, water misting with sprinklers and, when slope permits, changing the row orientation to reduce or balance solar radiation exposure. Shade cloths, which are the focus …
In both 2020 and 2021, there were HWs that occurred mid to late August. Looking at anthocyanin concentration, there was more variation in concentrations among treatments in 2020. Additionally, concentrations were higher in 2021 among the three treatments. The higher anthocyanin concentrations may be due to less extreme HW temperatures, thus less anthocyanin degradation. Looking …
While used traditionally in a number of cultures, one of the best examples of its medicinal use is from the Kuna Indians who have lived for centuries on remote islands off of the Caribbean coast of Panama. This group of indigenous people is famous the lack of hypertension, an infrequent prevalence of CVD, diabetes, and …
Sugars were measured at 25% using a Refractometer PAL-1 . The C content of sugar was calculated at 42% using the formula of sucrose. Below ground biomass was measured by pneumatically excavating the root system with compressed air applied at 0.7 Mpa for three of the 12 sampling blocks, exposing two vines each in 8 m3 pits. The …

Our data showed that the expression of flavonoids/PAs related-genes was highly increased in V9-berries at the third harvest time compared to V7- berries, resulting in the accumulation of more PAs in V9-berries.Developing and producing table grapes with high quality is of utmost importance for the success of grapevine breeding programs. Scarlet Royal table grape , …

Farms in our sample had an average of $1.4 million in assets and $0.6 million in debts. The average debt-to asset ratio was close to 0.5. This ratio is much higher than the 0.16 debt-to-asset ratio reported by the United States Department of Agriculture for all American agriculture in 2003. When viewing assets and debts as …

Kaplan’s support—and further pressure on Planning staff by City Council President Jane Brunner—was essential for getting the Planning Department to begin integrating urban agriculture into the current zoning update. The passage of SF’s urban agriculture ordinance also provided a significant boost to urban agriculture advocates in Oakland. Pesticide Watch, one of the NGOs active in …

While seasonal droughts are known to be a natural and regular occurrence in arid and semi-arid regions, the increased frequency, duration, and intensity with which they have occurred in recent years is highly unusual . Such extreme droughts, referred to as “global-change type drought” , are predicted to continue, and even become the norm, as …
