Controlling Circling Roots in Container-grown Ornamentals with Root-inhibiting Herbicides

Response of Four Container Grown Woody Ornamentals to Immature Composted Media Derived from Waxed Corrugated Cardboard

Four containerized deciduous ornamental shrubs [deutzia (Deutzia gracilis L.), silverleaf dogwood (Cornus nlba 'Elegantissima'), red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea L.), and ninebark (Physocarpirs optilifolius L.)] were grown during each of two separate growing seasons using 12 different immature (nonaged) composts as media (year one, 12 weeks from start of windrowing; year two, 16-weeks) and als...

Amino Acid Biosynthesis Inhibiting Herbicides

The identification of herbicide families that act through the inhibition of amino acid biosynthesis has resulted in revolutionary progress in agricultural practices. This review describes three herbicide classes which act through this mode-of-action; including glufosinate (also called phosphinothricin, Liberty, Ignite, or Finale) which inhibits ammonia assimilation, glyphosate (Roundup, Tou...

Advancements in Root Growth Measurement Technologies and Observation Capabilities for Container-Grown Plants.

The study, characterization, observation, and quantification of plant root growth and root systems (Rhizometrics) has been and remains an important area of research in all disciplines of plant science. In the horticultural industry, a large portion of the crops grown annually are grown in pot culture. Root growth is a critical component in overall plant performance during production in containe...
