southern Ontario. Most published agronomic information is from Spain, with much of the research focusing on water management of the tigernut crop ( Pascual-Seva et al., 2018 ). Tigernut is traditionally planted in ridged rows with furrow irrigation
The cultural and management practices for Irish Potato and Sweet Potato were monitored, along with various plant growth parameters. Data was collected on row width, plant spacing, irrigation, root mass, plant population, vegetative dry matter, canopy height, yeild, above ground biomass, root depth, canopy cover, leaf area index, and stem diameter. Climatic parameters such as rainfall, average daily temperatures, and growing degree days. The data was imputed into the erosion prediction model WEPP (Water Erosion Prediction Project) and the annual soil loss was compared between the crops. Results suggest that Irish Potato is better crop for conserving soil.
as found in the 2012 school grounds/athletic field manager survey conducted by the University of Connecticut. Since the pesticide ban, cultural management practices recommended to help ease the transition away from pesticide dependency (i
teaching MGs ( Meyer and Hanchek, 1997 ). MGs are encouraged to use integrated pest management (IPM) in their own gardening practices and in their educational outreach work. IPM is “a long-standing, science-based, decision-making process that identifies and
expectations of golf course turfgrass often requires use of pest management practices to maintain aesthetics and playability ( Held and Potter 2012 ). Because pesticide use increases maintenance costs and may influence environmental risk, it is essential that
have to comply with regulatory constraints while still seeking to make a profit. Although in many cases, physical constraints can dominate, more often than not, the intensity of management and the use of best management practices (BMPs) are the keys to
crucial to understand what steps (or cultural practices) in nursery operations are followed to produce boxwood. It is also important to know what resources, materials, and tools are commonly used during production (e.g., potting media, containers, bags
bermudagrass for golf and other sport uses ( Martin et al., 2001 ). Many preventative chemical and cultural practices are used to mitigate this disease. Fungicide treatment is one of the primary management strategies for SDS prevention. Fungicides targeted at
boxwood blight ( Douglas 2013 ). Additionally, cultural practices and the application of fungicides can be employed to suppress disease development ( Gauthier and Dockery 2018 ). Given the ongoing spread of boxwood blight, there has been a paradigm shift
irrigation and fertilization practices in ornamental production can help identify areas in which management practices can be changed without negatively impacting production schedules or plant health. Collecting information on current production practices can
