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...
متن کاملPear fruit growth under regulated de®cit irrigation in container-grown trees
The effect of regulated de®cit irrigation (RDI) on fruit growth was studied for pear trees (Pyrus communis L. `Barlett') grown in 120 l isolated containers. Two irrigation treatments were applied in consecutive seasons (1996 and 1997) but on different trees each year. The Control treatment was watered to non-stress conditions using stem water potential (Cstem) and Penman ETo as a guide for the ...
متن کاملCarbon Isotope Discrimination, Gas Exchange, and Growth of Container-grown Conifers Under Cyclic Irrigation
The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of cyclic irrigation on growth and physiology of container-grown conifer species in pot-in-pot (PIP) production in the upper Midwest. Trees of four conifer species (Picea glauca var. densata, Picea pungens, Abies fraseri, and Pinus strobus) were grown in 25-L containers and assigned to one of four combinations of irrigation rate (low or hi...
متن کاملPerformance of Selected Herbaceous Annual Ornamentals Grown at Decreasing Levels of Irrigation
This study was conducted to evaluate the growth, visual quality, and stress response of 17 species of bedding plants andKentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensisL.) grown outdoors for 10 weeks during the summer of 2003 at three locations in Colorado. Plants were irrigated at 100% of the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) (amount required to maintain Kentucky bluegrass in an optimum condition) for 2 wee...
متن کاملOptimizing overhead irrigation systems
Centre Pivots and Lateral Moves in the Australian Cotton Industry Centre Pivots and Lateral Moves (CP&LMs) or overhead irrigation systems have been successfully installed in every cotton growing district in Australia. This industry now has the capacity to broaden the uptake of this irrigation technology, and benefit from its simplicity and improved water use efficiency while moving away from fa...
