  • Breeding, Production, and Morphophysiology Among Cytotypes of Common and Portuguese Cherrylaurel

    Creator:
    Schulze, Justin A.
    Abstract:
    The common cherrylaurel (Prunus laurocerasus) and Portuguese cherrylaurel (P. lusitanica) are economically important landscape shrubs across the United States. To gain a better understanding of physiology and morphology in these higher level polyploids (P. lusitanica, 2n = 8x; P. laurocerasus, 2n =22x), a variety of breeding experiments were performed. The...

  • Managing Microdochium Patch Using Non-Traditional Fungicides on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens

    Creator:
    Mattox, Clint M.
    Abstract:
    Currently, fungicide applications are the predominant method of control for the cool weather pathogen Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale). Increasing pesticide restrictions have generated concern regarding management of Microdochium patch. Three separate field trials exploring non-traditional fungicides were conducted between 2013 and 2015 on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) sand-based...

  • Disease resistance and spring phenological characteristics of Ribes L. germplasm

    Creator:
    Dalton, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    North American cultivation of Ribes L. may expand as small fruit growers seek species to diversify horticultural crops. The Ribes industry was suppressed for decades out of fear that cultivated black currants and gooseberries would intensify the fungal disease white pine blister rust (WPBR) on five-needle pine (Pinus L. section...
