production in subtropical and temperate areas ( Brewster, 2008 ). Improvements in water use efficiency in agriculture are needed as a result of scarcity of fresh water, increasing costs, and increasing world population growth ( Bessembinder et al., 2005
Conservation tillage systems minimize soil disturbance and maintain 30% cover with surface residue ( SSSA, 2005 ). Despite potential improvements in soil physical and biological properties, the adoption of conservation tillage practices for
candidate to be used in the tung breeding program for delayed flowering. It has a typical growth habit, flower numbers, and environmental tolerances. Unfortunately, it was not used in the tung improvement breeding program because it lacked fertility and did

primocane-fruiting red raspberries ( Rubus ideaus L.). These first two primocane-fruiting cultivars were intended primarily for home-garden production and for limited commercial trial evaluations. ‘APF-45’ is the first primocane-fruiting cultivar with
Experiment Station, Cooperative Extension, Rutgers Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Bridgeton, NJ 08302 Field research was conducted to determine if ‘New England Blue Hubbard’ ( Cucurbita maxima ) would attract both striped cucumber beetles
pesticides, sediments, and nutrients into surface waters and the ocean. For example, ≈77% of the soil surface is covered in plastic mulch in a field with 132-cm-wide beds (furrow center to center). Even in a field with a relatively small slope of 1%, this can
diverse than maize, soybean, and rice ( Guo et al., 2013 ). In all, these findings are consistent with a severe genetic bottleneck during domestication. Conservation of genetic variation is critical to crop improvement through plant breeding. Farmer
