hand defoliation ( Skinkis, 2013 ). The feasibility of mechanical ELR was tested mainly in Europe ( Diago et al., 2010 ; Intrieri et al., 2008 ; Tardaguila et al., 2010 ), leading, in some situations, to reductions in crop level and improvement in

Americans are consuming more fresh fruits than ever [ Bentley, 2017 ; U.S. Department of Agriculture-Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS), 2018]. To illustrate, the U.S. per capita consumption of fresh fruits grew by 12% between 2010 and 2018

development of integrated weed management strategies for managed ecosystems centers around habitat delineation of weed species ( Cardina et al., 1997 ). The manipulation of environmental factors to improve crop growth conditions may be feasible through the

availability of the required amount of irrigation water, which is a scarce resource in many areas. In terms of crop management, DI strategies have demonstrated their feasibility for yield improvement in arid and semiarid areas ( Gómez-del-Campo et al., 2014

ornamental pots under irrigation with saline magnetized water would only be feasible if either organic or inorganic soil amendments were applied in cultivation soils ( Table 2 ; Figs. 2 and 3 ). Inflorescence production and survival under different

accepted by commercial growers in Florida. This could be, in part, because no research has been performed to assess the economic feasibility of a plasticulture system adapted for use in Florida. Moreover, the low cost of operation and ease of use associated

represent an economic impact because total trees in the range of 3/8 to 5/8 inch diameter did not differ among treatments. For example, the MB:Pic treatment had significantly more 3/8- to 1/2-inch-diameter trees compared with the untreated control, but only

+FR of 0.64 (R:FR = 0.59), indicating LEDs that emit an intermediate P FR /P R+FR are a feasible replacement for INC lamps. In this study, the P FR /P R+FR of the INC lamps and R + W + FR LEDs was 0.64 (R:FR = 0.56) and 0.67 (R:FR = 0.82), respectively
