Genetic Variation in Yield and Fruit Weight Among Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) Cultivars and the Interaction With Year and Location Effect

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 263-272, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa) is an important crop in the United States. In this study, we analysed strawberry trials established across 7 years and two locations. Our objective was to estimate genetic parameters and predict breeding values for yield.

What Are the Components of a Plasticulture Vegetable System? [PDF]

HortTechnology, 1996
Plasticulture, simply defined, is a system of growing crops wherein a significant benefit is derived from using products derived from plastic polymers. The discovery and development of the polythylene polymer in the late 1930s, and its subsequent introduction in the early 1950s in the form of plastic films, mulches, and drip-irrigation tubing and tape,

Evaluating precision sprayers for targeted weed management in corn and soybean

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract A targeted application of herbicides in commercial crop fields is desirable for reducing chemical inputs and promoting environmental sustainability. Precision sprayers, equipped with cameras and sensors, detect weeds in real‐time and apply herbicides only where needed.

Leaf removal and prohexadione-calcium can modify Camarosa strawberry nursery plant morphology for plasticulture fruit production

, 2005
Mowing and the application of a new gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, prohexadione-calcium (ProCa), were studied as methods to modify the bare-root transplant morphology of Camarosa strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) in a Nova Scotia nursery ...

Weed Pressure, Yield, and Adhesion of Soil-biodegradable Mulches with Pie Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo)

HortScience, 2020
A soil-biodegradable mulch (BDM) is designed to be tilled into the soil at the end of the growing season, and is a successful alternative to polyethylene (PE) mulch if it suppresses weeds and improves soil temperature and moisture, crop yield, and fruit ...

Effects of polyester microplastics and naproxen on lettuce growth and development and soil abiotic factors

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract Microplastics (MPs), formed from the physical breakdown of larger plastics, have been found across a variety of ecosystems. Much research has been done on the effects of MPs in aquatic ecosystems, but fewer studies have explored their effects in terrestrial environments, particularly in agroecosystems where modern practices contribute strongly

Purple nutsedge management in tomato plasticulture: A study on the effectiveness of preemergence herbicide S‐metolachlor and its co‐application with fertilizer enhancer and chelated iron

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) poses a significant challenge to Florida tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) producers due to its ability to puncture plastic mulch, resilient tubers, and rapid rhizome proliferation. Preemergence herbicides effectively suppress purple nutsedge in tomatoes under plastic mulch.

Characterization of agronomic performance and sterility in triploid and diploid cannabinoid hemp

Agronomy Journal, Volume 116, Issue 5, Page 2470-2482, September/October 2024.
Abstract Cannabinoid hemp is a dioecious crop where pistillate plants are selectively grown to maximize cannabinoid yields. Errant pollination can reduce pistillate flower yields, cannabinoid concentrations, and lead to unmarketable flowers due to the presence of undesirable seeds. We compared pollen sensitivity and agronomic performance of diploid (2n
