temperature regimes representing potential seeding dates in Lexington, KY. Materials and methods Germination studies were conducted in the Turfgrass Science Laboratory on the University of Kentucky campus in 2011. Nineteen commercially available cultivars were
important to balance the rates of harvest with those of oil extraction in the mill. The objective of the current work was to evaluate the effect of storage temperatures and duration on extracted oil quality from commercial, mechanically harvested orchards
variety of climates (temperate, tropical, desert) but are similar in that each environment has periodic or prolonged drought ( Anderson, 2001 ; Bailey, 1976 ). Temperature effects on development rate are often quantified by assessing the impact of
production for about 3 years, adhering to the Production Standards for Organic Agricultural Products: Crops of Taiwan ( Council of Agriculture, Taiwan, 2005 ). Monthly mean temperature during the hot-wet season from May to September ranges from 27.0 to 29
During the hot summer, greenhouse cooling is essential for the production of high-quality crops, which require cooler ambient temperatures. Although many cooling options exist, they all depend on the availability of affordable resources, such as
Greenhouse bedding plant production begins in mid-to-late winter and early spring in temperate northern latitudes when ambient outdoor air temperatures and photosynthetic daily light integrals (DLI) are at seasonally low levels. During this time
fungi and bacteria, including Aspergillus sp., Botrytis cinerea , Cladosporium sp., and Acetobacter sp. ( Bettiga and Gubler, 2013 ). Botrytis bunch rot may also occur in the San Joaquin Valley, particularly in autumn, when temperatures moderate
plantable, compostable, or recyclable containers as an alternative way to improve the sustainability of current production systems ( Nambuthiri et al., 2015 ). Container materials and colors can affect plant growth by modifying substrate temperature and the
throughout the United States via air and truck transport ( Nell and Leonard, 2005 ). Presently, there is considerable emphasis and discussion within the floral industry regarding the lack of cold temperature management (cold-chain) during flower transport
High-value vegetable crops such as eggplant, tomato, and watermelon are grafted to increase vigor, yield, tolerance to salinity and temperature extremes, and disease resistance ( Lee, 1994 , 2003, 2007; Paroussi et al., 2007 ; Rivard and Louws
