Blueberry Varieties to Plant or Discard in Northeastern United States

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1961
A panel discussion on blueberry varieties was conducted by the authors at the Small Fruit Workers' Conference, July 6, 1960. After the panel members had presented their comments on the favorable and unfavorable characteristics of the newer varieties, the desirability of discarding many of the older varieties was discussed.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Impacts of Vaccinium arboreum Rootstocks on Vegetative Growth and Yield in Two Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivars

HortScience, 2019
Vaccinium arboreum Marsh is a small tree adapted to low-organic matter soils and is one of the few ericaceous species that tolerates soil pH greater than 6.0. It has a deep root system and is more drought tolerant than cultivated blueberry. The use of V.

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Split-root Water Application to Highbush Blueberry Plants

HortScience, 1986
Abstract Watered split-root portions of 2-year-old plants of ‘Bluecrop’ blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) exhibited significantly greater shoot dry weight, shoot thickness, shoot length, mean number of shoots, and leaf dry weight than nonwatered portions. Watered portions

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

The Outsiders: Principled Withdrawal, Whiteness, and Power in the Los Angeles Food Justice Movement

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article draws on understandings of whiteness and the misconstrual of South Central Los Angeles to analyze the power dynamics between “outsider” activists and residents of South Central as they worked toward a more equitable food system.

Feared self and responsibility in obsessive compulsive phenomena

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the roles of feared self and inflated responsibility in obsessive–compulsive tendencies through an online experiment. Design A total of 185 participants (Mage = 28.11, SD = 9.12) were randomly assigned to either a heightened responsibility or control condition, then primed with feared self scenarios (morality

Powdered hibiscus anthocyanin‐nanofibril complexes as natural colourants: Stability and application in yoghurt and soft candy

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The instability of anthocyanins limits their application as natural food colorants. This study aimed to enhance the stability of anthocyanins extracted from Hibiscus sabdariffa through copigmentation with protein nanofibrils produced from pea, rice, gluten and whey isolates. Linear and curly nanofibril structures were prepared and incorporated
