In addition, hazelnut trees on C. colurna root stocks are frequently more variable in size and yield than self-rooted trees of C. avellana. In a trial using ‘Barcelona’ as a scion cultivar, the graft unions were overgrown and nut yields declined with age, at ~20–25 years. Due to these disadvantages, the Faculty of Agriculture, at …

Temperature, humidity, ethylene levels, and the storage oxygen-to-carbon dioxide ratio must be controlled to slow down maturation and senescence in order to maintain produce shelf-life and quality. Low temperatures are used to reduce respiration, thereby extending shelf-life, but also have the added benefit of suppressing water loss, shrinkage, and fungal growth, which can occur due to …

Plants have flowered and seeded here for at least the past thirty years, serving as a ready seed source for downstream dissemination.In 2004, an event occurred which ultimately helps clarify the relationship between regional riverine and roadside-growing plants and the surrounding flora by providing a biogeographical context for the meager ethnographic information regarding tobacco use …
In California, they are larger than on Cleopatra mandarin, but smaller than those grown on Rough lemon, sour orange, or Troyer citrange. Seedlings of sweet orange are resistant to verrucosis according to Klotz . Again, this is not a problem in California, but in nurseries or grown trees it can be a problem in areas with …

The cultural practices within an orchard can materially affect root systems. In Ceylon , Gandhi cites a difference in citrus root distribution between irrigated areas and rainfall areas. However, when he grew grapefruit trees on Rough lemon with various degrees of cover crop the citrus roots would not compete with the cover crop. They either turned back …

Notably, although recruited from across the United States, nearly all participants were sheltering in place at the time of study enrollment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have affected substance use patterns and mood as well as interest in a digital health intervention. Notably, however, alcohol sales in the United States increased during the COVID-19 …
Several trees of Webb Red Blush grapefruit on Tavares limequat also showed problems at the bud union.Olson postulated that since seedlings of calamondin, lemonquat, red grapefruit, and sweet orange grew normally, whereas certain budded combinations showed bud union crease, it would seem possible that the disorder was related to interaction between specific root stock and scion varieties. It …

Although knowledge of the art of budding, or grafting, goes back several millennia , it was only in the late 1800’s that budding of citrus became a general practice. The change was partly due to the introduction of superior varieties like the Washington navel orange, the Valencia orange and other named cultivars in which it …

To achieve this one needs a healthy, productive, long-lived tree. It is increasingly evident that one of the most basic factors in achieving this end is the use of the best available root stock. The initial cost of a good tree is no more than a bad tree; but it sure makes a difference over the …

Heterozygous recombinant BC6S1 individuals were allowed to self-pollinate and progeny were marker-selected to obtain homozygous BC6S2 sub-NILs. These plants underwent self-pollination to obtain ample BC6S3 seed for replicated field experiments. We evaluated 62 BC6S3 sub-NILs in the 2009 field experiments. In the 2010 field experiments, a subset of 42 of the 62 subNILs was evaluated to allow increased …
