Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides basic information on the growth and fruit development of pears, as well as practical considerations on pear culture. It was written with California Bartlett pear production in mind, but will be useful for worldwide growers of all pear varieties.Also included is information on orchard and tree management (including varieties), propagation and rootstock selection, training pruning, orchard floor management, irrigation, fertilization, irrigation systems, frost protection, nutrition, pest management, harvesting, and extensive information on postharvest storage and handling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bean crop of the Southwest suffers severe injury from the bean ladybird, which sometimes ruins entire crops. It is restricted to beans for food and attacks all kinds. Both beetles and their larvæ devour all parts of the plant -- leaves, flowers and pods -- but the chief injury is to the foliage. The pest can be controlled in small areas by hand-picking the overwintered beetles and by brushing the larvæ or young from the plants during hot, dry weather. On a larger scale it may be controlled by spraying with arsenite of zinc, arsenate of lead, or arsenate of lime. Clean cultivation should be practiced and early and late planting." -- [2]
Download or read book The Pear Genome written by Schuyler S. Korban and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the pear genome, this book covers the current state of knowledge regarding genetic and genomic resources, breeding approaches and strategies, as well as cutting-edge content on how these tools and resources are being / soon will be utilized to pursue genetic improvement efforts that will combine fruit quality, high productivity, precocious fruit bearing, and long postharvest storage life, along with elevated levels of resistance to various major diseases and insect pests. Throughout, the book also explores potential opportunities and challenges in genomic analysis, sequence assembly, structural features, as well as functional studies that will assist in future genetic improvement efforts for pears. The pear (Pyrus), an important tree fruit crop, is grown worldwide, and has several economically relevant cultivars. In recent years, modern genetic and genomic tools have resulted in the development of a wide variety of valuable resources for the pear. In the past few years, completion of whole genome assemblies of ‘Dangshansuli’, an Asian pear, and ‘Bartlett’, a European pear, have paved the way for new discoveries regarding for example, the pear’s genomic structure, chromosome evolution, and patterns of genetic variation. This wealth of new resources will have a major impact on our knowledge of the pear genome; in turn, these resources and knowledge will have significant impacts on future genetic improvement efforts.

Download or read book Sheep on Irrigated Farms in the Northwest written by Stephen Oscar Jayne and published by . This book was released on 1921 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sheep are kept with profit on numerous farms scattered throughout the irrigated districts of the northwest. On some of these farms they have been kept with success for many years so that sheep raising is by no means an experimental enterprise on such farms. The present outlook for the sheep business appears to warrant the maintenance of many more farm flocks than are now being kept in these districts, and this bulletin is deigned to further the expansion of the industry by pointing out its possibilities and by giving examples of good farm practice with sheep. The method of handling and feeding sheep as practiced on 12 representative irrigated farms, large and small, and in various parts of the Northwest are described in some detail. A few of these farms specialize in sheep, but on most of the sheep enterprise is combined with some other major enterprise such as dairying, hog raising, growing sugar beets, or orcharding. One of the more serious problems that the farmer must face in introducing sheep on an irrigated farm is that of pasture; hence special attention has be given to outlining methods to be followed in establishing pasture grasses and pasture supplements."--Page 2
