suggested by Handreck (1992a) . On 8 May 2006, 12 cm tall × 15 cm square (1.7-L) plastic containers were filled with the three substrates and placed on raised benches in the Virginia Tech (Blacksburg, VA) Greenhouse Facility (glass-covered) with average day
orchard in response to the restrictive meteorological factors in the two production regions. For instance, in the Circum-Bohai production region, reflective film mulching was laid on orchard ground during the fruit ripening stage to increase the daytime
viewed by approaching planes. This required the use of calculus and trigonometry to scale up the paper design and knowledge of ways to create color on a large scale, for example, covering grass with black plastic for 2 weeks to create yellow and use of
-row spacing between plants was 0.30 m. The soil type was a Topic Dystropepts. The rows were covered using silver-on-black plastic mulch with a thickness of 1.2 to 2.0 mils and a width of 4 ft. Rainfall supplied most of the water to the field and an irrigation
of weed species present in the field were measured periodically. Weeds in the strawberry planting hole, the only area not covered with mulch film, were collected during repeated hand-weeding events that took place at monthly to bimonthly intervals
, 2GR (average weight of 43 and 20 g for ginger and turmeric, respectively) and R (average weight of 41 and 32 g for ginger and turmeric, respectively) were initially planted individually in black plastic trays [21-cm high × 27.8-cm wide × 6.2-cm deep
intermediate resistance to powdery mildew. In the 2007 study, squash was planted in two seasons. The first planting was seeded into raised beds with black plastic mulch and drip irrigation on 30 Apr., and the second planting on 27 July. Harvests began on 11
Matsuyama; rind cracks at stem end may occur and cause rot, but this can be controlled using greenhouse production, plastic mulching and paper bagging; storability somewhat low. Tree: rather large, vigorous; growth habit primarily upright until onset of
