sufficient to drain out of the inner pots (confirmed by visual inspection) early in the growing season when soil moisture was maintained at a higher level. Later in the summer when vines were exposed to moderate water stress, this was not always sufficient to
zoospore concentration proved to be an appropriate concentration to cause root rot disease symptoms. Inoculation was performed 5 d following transplanting (15 d after seeding). Root damage was rated for all plants (24 plants per treatment) on a visual scale
flooding treatments, and Ps rates were higher in control plants than in flooded plants. Although growth and Ps was generally lower in flooded plants than control plants, all taxa maintained visual quality and continued to grow, which suggests they would be
values were available. During March and April, before budbreak, the TTM output stabilized around an annual minimum for 1 to several weeks. We identified this period for each TTM by visual inspection of the tension trace and then calculated an average of
for cellular structure, using the confocal microscope, showed visual differences between crispy and noncrispy genotypes. Drupelet mesocarp cells and cell walls of the crispy selection A-2453 were visually differentiated compared with ‘Natchez’ ( Fig. 1
visual scale to determine the tolerance of squash to glyphosate soil residues. To quantify treatment impacts on plant growth, squash plant diameters were measured three to four times, beginning 7 DAP and continuing through the completion of injury
tephritid fruit flies, and the USDA and FSANZ have also approved 400 Gy for all other insects except pupae and adults of Lepidoptera (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 2008; Follett 2014 ). The island of Hawaii has a commercial X-ray facility that
suspension to the entire surface of each leaf, followed by incubation for 48 h at 20 to 23 °C without light. The DI of these cultivars was evaluated via visual inspection and disease rating calculation after 14
appear during prolonged chilling or during warming after chilling ( Saltveit and Morris, 1990 ). The severity of CI can be quantified by visual inspection of quality parameters, by measuring the rate of ion leakage from excised tissue into an isotonic
close genetic similarities with F. ovina L. (sheep fescue) ( Jones et al., 2008 ). In 2009, a visual inspection of 270 FEID 9025897 cloned plants examined under replication in a Logan UT field nursery showed that the vast majority (>98%) were sterile
