Chemical weed control in sweet cherry peppers

Sweet cherry rootstocks for the Pacific Northwest

All commercial sweet cherry trees are either budded or grafted. The part of the tree above the graft/bud union is known as the scion and the part below the graft/bud union is known as the rootstock. Sweet cherry scion cultivars have been selected over millennia for many reasons, but over the past century, breeding programs have concentrated mainly on achieving improved characteristics such as y...

Project Title : Epidemiology and Control of Bacterial Canker in Sweet Cherry

Funding Request: No funding is requested. We are not continuing this project because of the current low level of the disease in most commercial orchards and lack of interest in the industry in funding a full program on this disease. However, as the acreage of new plantings increases, particularly those susceptible varieties, bacterial canker can be an important factor in the process of establis...

Comparison of the ability to recover physiological traits of hot peppers and sweet peppers after high temperature stress

A Non-Chemical System for Online Weed Control

Non-chemical weed control methods need to be directed towards a site-specific weeding approach, in order to be able to compete the conventional herbicide equivalents. A system for online weed control was developed. It automatically adjusts the tine angle of a harrow and creates different levels of intensity: from gentle to aggressive. Two experimental plots in a maize field were harrowed with t...
