This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeds must be well managed during the establishment phase (1-3 years) of Christmas tree production as weed competition directly relates to the rate of Christmas tree growth during this time. The objectives were to evaluate the weed control efficacy of organic mulch and herbicide combinations and to determine their phytotoxic effects on four different species of Christmas trees during the establishment stage and also to determine alternative postemergence control options for clopyralid resistant common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.), which has recently been discovered in Michigan Christmas tree farms. A field and greenhouse experiment were conducted. Four species of Christmas trees in their establishment stage were used for the field experiment: Fraser fir [Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir], blue spruce (Picea pungens Engelm.), white pine (Pinus strobus L.), and Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Twelve weed control treatments were applied for the field and greenhouse experiment with four replications each in complete randomized block design. The treatments were cypress bark organic mulch and the herbicides clopyralid, oxyfluorfen, and glyphosate, which were either applied alone or in combinations with each other. It was found that herbicides in combination with mulch resulted in better longer lasting weed control, but treatments involving clopyralid + glyphosate, even if mulch was also included proved to be the most phytotoxic treatments to the Christmas trees. Growth indices would likely only be affected later in the tree's life and foliar nitrogen percent levels were found not to be affected by the use of mulch or any of the treatment combinations. Overall, the best treatments for controlling clopyralid resistant common ragweed were mulch + clopyralid + glyphosate and mulch + clopyralid + oxyfluorfen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Chemical Weed Control is the first book to present an overview of plant crop protection against non-food plants using non-chemical means. Plants growing wild—particularly unwanted plants found in cultivated ground to the exclusion of the desired crop—have been treated with herbicides and chemical treatments in the past. As concern over environmental, food and consumer safety increases, research has turned to alternatives, including the use of cover crops, thermal treatments and biotechnology to reduce and eliminate unwanted plants. This book provides insight into existing and emerging alternative crop protection methods and includes lessons learned from past methodologies. As crop production resources decline while consumer concerns over safety increase, the effective control of weeds is imperative to insure the maximum possible levels of soil, sunlight and nutrients reach the crop plants. Allows reader to identify the most appropriate solution based on their individual use or case Provides researchers, students and growers with current concepts regarding the use of modern, environment-friendly weed control techniques Presents methods of weed management—an important part of integrated weed management in the future Exploits the knowledge gained from past sustainable weed management efforts

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.
