marketable yields ( Armitage, 1991 ). Snapdragons ( Antirrhinum majus ) are a cool-season crop that florists have indicated interest in regularly sourcing from local growers ( Wolfe and McKissick, 2007 ). Although pricing varies by stem length grade and

management technique might be to prune the plants to the ground each spring, perhaps most efficiently with a motorized or tractor-mounted sickle bar cutter. Well-established plants managed in this manner should produce good yields annually while maintaining

after extraction. The percentage value of oil content was expressed on a dry weight basis. At the end of October, all fruits in the sampling trees were removed and weighed to calculate the olive yield of each tested tree (including sampling fruits). The

entered the market as edible oil, its seed yield is very low under the current planting pattern. Consequently, high-yield and high-quality large-scale planting of P. ostii has not yet occurred. Seed yield traits, oil yield, and fatty acid compositions

( Darnell et al., 2006 ; Knight et al., 1996 ). In this annual system, raspberry plants are removed after harvest and are replaced with new prechilled long-canes for the next season. Previous work has shown that yields in this annual system are less than

agent of bacterial wilt of cucurbits. Bacterial wilt can reduce yields by 80% on unprotected muskmelon ( Sherf and MacNab, 1986 ) and cucumber [ Cucumis sativus ( Latin, 1993 )] and is also a serious threat to pumpkin ( Cucurbita maxima ), winter squash
