Stand problems consistently cause significant production losses and management problems in Arkansas rice fields. Previous research, funded by the Rice Research and Promotion Board, identified the role of environmental factors and soilborne plant pathogens in limiting rice stand establishment, and had the goal of determining the conditions where soilborne pathogens, especially Pythium species, p...

MCCUNE, B., and T. F. H. ALLEN. 1985. Forest dynamics in the Bitterroot Canyons, Montana. Can. J. Bot. 63: 377-383. Both shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant tree species may dominate young stands in canyon-bottom forests of the Bitterroot Range. Subsequent dynamics depend on growth characteristics of the colonizing species. Thus, much of the compositional variation arises at stand establishment...

Stand problems consistently cause significant production and management losses in Arkansas rice fields. In 2002, many fields in Arkansas had severe stand losses. Three control practices are being examined in this project for managing stand losses due to seedling diseases: 1) seed treatment fungicides, 2) development of cold-tolerant cultivars, and 3) the use of disease-suppressive production sy...

Poor emergence resulting in inadequate stand establishment is a major problem associated with direct-seeded rice production, especially for semidwarf cultivars. In order to gain information on the problem, plant type related to gibberellic acid (GA3) and seeding depth was studied. A total of 21 cultivars including 9 semidwarfs and 12 talls had seed treated with GA3 at 25 parts per million (ppm)...

Effective management and restoration of ponderosa pine forests requires an understanding of the heterogeneity of contemporary and historical stand structures. We assessed spatial and temporal patterns of tree establishment, mortality and size structure over a 30-year period in an old-growth ponderosa pine stand in the mid-montane zone of the Colorado Front Range. We analyzed spatial patterns an...
