Apple (Malus × domestica) is a main fruit crop of cold temperate regions and traded globally. Despite being comparatively well documented plant cultigen, available germplasm in many remote still unexplored threatened. Increasing market demands for modern cultivars farmers’ preference high yields may lead to the gradual loss indigenous varieties. Gilgit-Baltistan northern Pakistan – mountainous ...

We present a complete framework for vigour mapping in row crops by multispectral remote sensing. The main contribution consists in taking into account vegetation abundance in the computation of vigour indexes. Though developed in a viticulture context, the proposed algorithm is generic enough to be adapted to any row crop, especially in horticulture. It takes advantage of both spectral and spat...

Bien que l’agriculture soit reconnue pour les services qu’elle rend aux citadins, elle peine à se développer dans villes africaines. L’étude a été conduite la commune de Ziguinchor, situé au Sud du Sénégal. Elle vise caractériser des systèmes production végétale urbaine cette et s’est appuyé, essentiellement, sur enquêtes, auprès 390 agriculteurs. Quatre exploités par femmes (74,4%) ont recensé...

The history of injection practices in medicine and arboriculture is reviewed and the problems associated with these practices are discussed. Columns of occluded (compartmentalized) xylem and killed bark are typically associated with wounds caused by injection. These columns extend both up and down the trunk and may extend out into the roots. Forty percent or more of the transport system can be ...

Cypress canker caused by Seiridium cardinale was controlled by benomyl and chlorothalonil but not by tribasic copper sulfate. Cypress canker has been present in California since 1927 where it has caused considerable damage to planted Monterey cypress, Cupressus macrocarpa (6). The popularity of this California native range and usually canker disease appears, but some uninformed people still pla...

The ground cover in plantings of walnut and other hardwoods can substantially affect tree growth and seed production. The number of alternative ground covers that have been suggested for establishment in tree plantings far exceeds the number that have already been tested with walnut and other temperate hardwoods. Knowing how other hardwood species respond to ground covers and which have respons...

-Two schools of thought exist regarding top-pruning bareroot seedlings. One school favors top-pruning due to the economic advantages. Top-pruning can reduce the production of cull seedlings (increase crop value) as well as increase the chance of survival after outplanting. Published studies suggest that top-pruning can increase overall survival of loblolly pine and longleaf pine by 7 and 13 per...
