Sexual expression in container-grown jack pine seedlings.
We assessed the effects of nitrogen, drought and gibberellin A(4/7) on sexual expression of 2- and 3-year-old jack pine (Pinus banksiana L.) seedlings grown in either a 1/3 peat/sand mix or a 3/1 peat/perlite mix. The seedlings were either watered daily (well-watered treatment) or droughted by withholding water from July 13 to August 24 (drought treatment). Half of the plants in each irrigation...
متن کاملPine Bark Substrates Amended with Parboiled Rice Hulls: Physical Properties and Growth of Container-grown Spirea during Long-term Nursery Production
The decline in the availability of pine (Pinus taeda L.) bark (PB) supplies and increasing prices have caused concerns in the nursery industry. Research was conducted to evaluate the effect of parboiled rice (Oryza sativa L.) hulls (PBH) as a substrate amendment to PB-based container substrates on the growth of Spiraea ·bumalda L. ‘Anthony Waterer’ and to examine the changes in physical propert...
متن کاملWireless Sensor Network Based Irrigation Management System for Container Grown Crops in Pakistan
Irrigation procedures are based on farmer’s experience, soil properties and environmental conditions that are affected by changes in environmental conditions. Wireless sensor network is a solution for monitoring environmental conditions and efficient utilization of water. In this paper, an effective irrigation management system is presented for the container grown crops. It utilizes wireless se...
متن کاملGrowth responses of scots pine seedlings grown in peat-based media amended with natural zeolite.
Zeolite has many good features that makes it very attractive for nursery use as a growing media over others. This study was designed to investigate influence of different growing media and their mixtures (with zeolite and without zeolite) on morphological characters of scots pine seedlings. Twenty-one treatments of varying amounts of peat, fine pumice, coarse pumice, river sand, perlite and riv...
متن کاملTreeshelter Use in Producing Container-grown Trees
Treeshelters were used for the nursery production of Cedrus deodara Loud. (deodar cedar), Quercus ilex L. (holly oak), and Magnolia grandiflora L. (southern magnolia) trees growing in 19-liter containers. Air temperature, relative humidity, and CO, concentration were higher inside the treeshelters than outside. Trees grown inside treeshelters were 74% to 174% taller than trees grown without she...
