Drought tolerance of Liriope graminifolia (L.) Baker and Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker Gawl. – promising lawn-forming plants for the subtropical zone of the Black Sea coast of Russia
Authors: Konnov N. A. , Karpun N. N. , Kelina A. V.
Published: September 2020

The lawn coverings creation in the humid subtropics zone of Russia is one of the topical areas of ornamental horticulture. This is due to the high requirements for year-round decorative plantings, the peculiarities of natural and climatic conditions and the general lack of issue knowledge. This direction is of particular importance in plantations located in shaded areas under the canopy of tree crowns, where, in addition to common for the region unfavourable factors of the hydrothermal regime, insufficient illumination is added, which together limits the possibility of traditional cereal grasses cultivating. Evergreen grass-like ground cover plants can be a complete substitute for lawn grasses in shaded areas. The aim of the research was to determine the degree of drought resistance of Liriope graminifolia (L.) Baker and Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker Gawl. and the ability to maintain decorativeness during the period of unfavourable hydrothermal conditions in the summer in the humid subtropics of Russia. The studies were carried out in 2013-2018 on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus in the Sochi region, in plantations (on test plots with an area of 5-10 m2) and in conditions of vegetation experiments (in containers with a volume of 2 liters) on the territory of the Kuban Subtropical Botanical Garden (settlement Uch-Dere), according to generally accepted methods adapted to the studied taxa. It was found that an important mechanism of adaptation of the studied plants to drought is the ability to accumulate and redistribute moisture between vegetative organs, providing a high water content in the leaves. The decorativeness of O. japonicus and L. graminifolia in open ground in the atmospheric moisture absence lasts up to 12-14 days, in a vegetation experiment (container culture) – up to 14-16 days. O. japonicus and L. graminifolia retained the ability to self-regenerate up to 35-37 days of the experiment, and then the plants died. The consequences of summer drought in the studied plants were compensated by active autumn growth. Unlike classic lawns, which require daily watering, lawns from O. japonicus and L. graminifolia should be irrigated with a long (more than 12-14 days) absence of precipitation in the summer months.

Development of a Model Mutagenesis System for Snapdragon
Authors: Lian Zhaoyuan , Huo Heqiang , Wilson Sandra B. , Chen Jianjun
Published: September 2020

Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) has long been a very popular perennial in the United States due to its unique flower shape with a range of striking colors (Huo and Chen, 2018). Based on their height, snapdragons are typically classified into three categories: dwarf (6-15 inches), medium (1-2 feet), and tall (6-15 feet) . The dwarf variety has a dense, bushy growth pattern, producing numerous flower spikes. They grow on average 6 to 15 inches tall and are ideal plants for use as low borders or in containers. Mid-sized varieties grow 1-2 feet tall and are typically used in borders (either alone or with other bedding plants) and sometimes as cut flowers. Tall varieties range anywhere from 2 to 3 feet in height (Gilman et al. 2018). The magnificent flowers with a wide range of petal colors atop the long green spikes make the tall variety a desirable cut flower for container, bouquets, or gardens. In 2015, fresh-cut snapdragon sales increased 51.7% from 2010 and reached $12.93 million, making it a top ten fresh cut flower in United States（USDA, 2015).

With all of their aesthetic attributes and versatility, snapdragons are also an important model system for genetics and molecular studies of various plant processes.   For example, snapdragon pigmentation mutants produced by transposon (a type of mobile DNAs) mutagenesis have provided researchers a good way to study anthocyanin biosynthesis and subsequently aid plant breeders in developing new varieties with novel flower colors (Jackson et al. 1992). Furthermore, snapdragon has a mechanism by which transposable mutations can be regulated into active and inactive states through temperature control (Hashida et al., 2006). Advantages of this elegant transposon mutagenesis system and how it relates to plant breeding are described in this paper.

Thinning Southern Pines - A Key to Greater Returns
Authors: Demers Chris , Andreu Michael , McGowan Babe , Long Alan , Nowak Jarek
Published: September 2020

Thinning is an important silvicultural practice that redistributes the growth potential of the site to the best trees. Diameter growth rates are maintained or increased on residual trees after thinning, which increases the return on investment from higher-value trees. Biologically, thinning accelerates stand development by favoring the tallest, best-formed trees over those that are diseased, overtopped, crooked, forked, or otherwise undesirable and likely to die on their own if left in the stand long enough. In addition, thinning provides periodic income, improves access for equipment, recreation and hunting, and creates a generally healthier stand. Thinning is also beneficial for wildlife, especially when combined with prescribed fire or herbicide use to control competing vegetation. By allowing more light to reach the forest floor, thinning promotes growth of plants important as food and/or cover for wildlife species. Landowners are encouraged to consult with or hire a professional forester to assist with thinning and other forest management activities. This 6-page fact sheet was written by Chris Demers, Michael Andreu, Babe McGowan, Alan Long, and Jarek Nowak, and published by the UF Department of School of Forest Resources and Conservation, July 2013.

Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) for Enhanced Water Distribution: SDI - Seepage Hybrid System
Authors: Zotarelli Lincoln , Rens Libby , Barrett Charles , Cantliffe Daniel J. , Dukes Michael D. , Clark Mark , Lands Steven
Published: September 2020

In terms of water use efficiency, the traditional seepage irrigation systems commonly used in areas with high water tables are one of the most inefficient methods of irrigation, though some irrigation management practices can contribute to better soil moisture uniformity. Subsurface drip irrigation systems apply water below the soil surface by microirrigation, improving the water distribution and time required to raise the water table for seepage irrigation. This 6-page fact sheet was written by Lincoln Zotarelli, Libby Rens, Charles Barrett, Daniel J. Cantliffe, Michael D. Dukes, Mark Clark, and Steven Lands, and published by the UF Department of Horticultural Sciences, March 2013.

Insecticides Currently Used on Vegetables
Authors: Webb Susan E. , Stansly Philip A.
Published: September 2020

This 12-page fact sheet lists many of the common insecticides currently labeled for use on vegetables in Florida. A number of new materials have been registered in the past few years or have had additional crops added to their labels.

Nematode Management in Potatoes (Irish or White)
Authors: Noling Joseph W.
Published: September 2020

Nematode species and population levels, incidence of soil-borne diseases and insects, soil moisture at field preparation time, and the intended market for the potatoes can all affect the choice of nematode control measures. Growers should use a combination of as many different kinds of control measures as feasible, since none provides perfect protection for the crop. This 7-page fact sheet was written by J.W.

Nematode Management in Residential Lawns
Authors: Crow William T.
Published: September 2020

Plant-parasitic nematodes are among the least understood and most difficult pests to manage on turfgrass in Florida. They are very small, and most can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. They use a stylet to puncture plant cells, to inject digestive juices into them, and to ingest plant fluids. The most reliable way to determine whether plant-parasitic nematodes are involved in a turf problem is to have a nematode assay conducted by a professional nematode diagnostic lab. This 6-page fact sheet was written by William T. Crow and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, April 2013.

Biology and Control of Goosegrass in Sugarcane
Authors: Odero Dennis Calvin , Rice Ron , Baucum Les
Published: September 2020

Goosegrass is an annual plant that produces a prostrate, mat-like rosette with flattened stems radiating from a central point. It is often described as looking like someone has stepped in the middle of the plant, flattening it out. Because of the whitish to translucent color of the leaf sheath margins, goosegrass usually appears white to silver; this is why it is known as white or silver crabgrass. Goosegrass is found year-round in southern Florida and is commonly associated with newly planted and stubble (ratoon) sugarcane fields.
