Karp et al. estimated 4–12 birds/ha of species that are confirmed or suspected CBB predators. Flocks of migratory birds on coffee farms are estimated at 19/ha and 24/ha , but these values are also short of our estimates of necessary densities for suppressing larger CBB outbreaks. One caveat to our conclusions is that our calculations were based …

The power system of our current device, i.e., outlet, is not ideal for most standard incubators, because it requires cords coming out of the incubator and causes a concern on maintaining the environmental parameters inside an incubator. To address these issues, the loading device could have its own built-in source of power such as a …
Cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside was the next most concentrated anthocyanin, averaging 20.11 ± 5.63 mg per 100 g FW in 2018 and 19.80 ± 6.92 mg per 100 g FW in 2019. This is unlike European elderberries, in which cyanidin-3-glucoside is typically the second most prominent anthocyanin, except for the Ljubostinja cultivar which has more cyanidin-3,5-diglucoside than cyanidin-glucoside42. …
These results agreed with previous studies on the relationships between grapevine water status and yield components . However, leaf area and crown porosity were not affected by applied water amount treatments in 2020. This might havebeen resulted from the remarkably high air temperature at the experimental site, diminishing the grapevine vegetative growth despite the water …
Although the TCM use of goji berry also includes the leaves and bark of the plant, this review will discuss the potential benefits of the fruit on eye health. In addition to a robust amount of Z, goji berries contain modest amounts of β-cryptoxanthin, β- carotene, neoxanthin and L. The Z and L content among different varieties …
Once a complete set of sensors were developed and tested, we implemented a basic remote control application to verify the functionality of the Max32 as well as the AGV platform. Details on the AGV are presented in Chapter 7. We designed the OSAVC with a few goals in mind. The most important of which being …

In almost all viral diseases occurring in the vineyard, the virus is distributed systemically throughout the grapevine. Once introduced in the host, viral particles move rapidly within the vascular tissue towards sink tissues and establish infections . Although we detected the presence of GRBaV in vegetative and berry tissues during growing and harvest seasons, symptoms …

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 …
