Chipped Pine Logs: A Potential Substrate for Greenhouse and Nursery Crops
Due to uncertainties of future supplies of pine bark (PB) and peatmoss, ground Pinus taeda logs [pine chips (PC)] were compared to ground PB as a potential container substrate for japanese holly (Ilex crenata Thunb. ‘Chesapeake’), azalea (Rhododendron obtusum Planch. ‘Karen’), and marigold (Tagetes erecta Big. ‘Inca Gold’). Plants were potted in 2.8-L plastic containers 8 Apr. 2004 with either ...
متن کاملPotential for Greenhouse Aeroponic Cultivation of Medicinal Root Crops
The therapeutic use of medicinal plants such as Echinacea, ginseng and St. John’s wort has gained widespread acceptance in North America in the last two decades. Aeroponic cultivation of medicinal plants have shown great potential for producing root yields that are cleaner, more uniform and faster maturing than can be obtained using conventional soil-based methods. Two pilot-scale commercial A-...
متن کاملAnalysis of Microbial Diversity and Greenhouse Gas Production of Decaying Pine Logs
In Sustainable Forest Management, decaying wood plays an important role in forest biodiversity, carbon balance and nutrient cycling. The management of this important component of forest ecosystems is limited by the fact that little is known about relationships between substrate quality and community structure of wood-inhabiting microorganisms. During decomposition, carbon stored in deadwood is ...
متن کاملLaboratory Bioassay and Greenhouse Evaluation of a Pine Tree Sub- strate Used as a Container Substrate
Bioassays with tomato and lettuce seeds and three plant experiments with marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) ‘Inca Gold’ were conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse, respectively, in order to investigate possibilities of determining and mitigating the effects of phytotoxins in pine tree substrate (PTS). PTS is produced by grinding loblolly pine tree (Pinus taeda L.) logs, and using as horticultura...
متن کاملChanges in Chemical and Physical Properties of Pine Tree Substrate and Pine Bark During Long-term Nursery Crop Production
The objective of this study was to evaluate a pine tree substrate (PTS) for decomposition, changes in physical and chemical properties, and substrate carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux (microbial activity) during a long-term production cycle under outdoor nursery conditions. Substrates used in this study were PTS constructed using a 4.76-mm hammer mill screen and aged pine bark (PB). Plastic nursery c...
