Water and Soil Management Practices to Enhance Plant Growth, Berry Development, and Fruit Quality of Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:

Almutairi, Khalid F.

Abstract:

Drought and mandatory water restrictions are limiting the availability of irrigation water in many important blueberry growing regions and new strategies are needed to maintain yield and fruit quality with less water. Three potential options for reducing water use, including deficit irrigation, irrigation cut-offs, and crop thinning, were evaluated for...

Response of Striga-susceptible and Striga-resistant sorghum genotypes to soil phosphorus and colonization by an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus

Creator:

Leytem, Alicia B.

Abstract:

Striga, a genus of obligate parasitic weeds in the family Orobanchaceae, has been identified as the most important biological factor limiting agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Germination of Striga seeds is triggered by strigolactone root exudates from host plants. Strigolactones also induce hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which...
