Ohio's mitigated wetlands are making the grade. Water flow and quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife, and more were evaluated. These are important features when creating a new wetland. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires wetland mitigation - that is, wetlands lost by dredging or filling must be replaced by a new wetland in another location. Research by Renee Wilson and Bill Mitsch of the School of Natural Resources.

Cultural practices can fight pepper diseases. For bacterial spot, plant pathologist Sally Miller advises clean seed and resistant varieties. She also recommends completely drying foliage before nightfall, good ventilation, not handling wet plants, and not growing pepper and tomato transplants in the same greenhouse. Both diseases can cause severe losses in Ohio peppers, because chemicals aren't effective once an infection occurs. Miller conducts research to prevent or reduce these losses.
