Effect of rootstock on vegetative growth, yield, and fruit composition of Norton grapevines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Norton is an important commercial grape cultivar commonly grown in Missouri and the surrounding region because of its wine quality and disease resistance. However, own-rooted Norton vines typically produce fruit with high ... -
Effects of magnetic field exposure on seed and vegetative cutting propagation of select woody species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A study was conducted to determine the effects of a 1.3 mT magnetic field on germination of pin and northern red oak acorns and on IBA-banded and etiolated vegetative cuttings of apple, Chinese chestnut, and black walnut. ... -
Evaluating flood tolerance measures for Missouri oak species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The aim of this research was to determine the effects of four flooding treatments on survival of seedlings from 45 seedlots of seven oak species at two sampling dates using logistic analysis, and to quantify growth responses ... -
Husk softening and kernal characteristics of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) cultivars at successive harvest dates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) nuts were collected weekly to: 1) identify a method to determine the optimal harvest date; 2) develop a quantifiable color classification for kernels; and 3) quantify the effect of ... -
Increasing Chinese chestnut primary nut weight and bur production by hand removal of secondary burs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Treatments were imposed on shoots of 'Orrin' and 'Willamette' Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Bl.) trees to characterize vegetative characteristics of bearing branches and to determine the effect of secondary (2o) ... -
Low temperature survival of 'Redhaven' peach floral buds on selected rootstocks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The relative cold tolerance of 'Redhaven' peach floral buds grafted onto various rootstocks was evaluated at selected dates from November 2011 to March 2013. Budwood was collected from trees in coordinated rootstock trials ... -
Rust and leaf spot diseases on American elderberry plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Elderberry rust (Puccinia sambuci Schewin.) Arthur (=P. bolleyana) and leaf spot diseases are frequently found in commercial American elderberry (Sambucus nigra L. subsp. canadensis L.) plantings throughout the growing ... -
Vegetative growth and fruiting characteristics of black walnut
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Three studies were conducted to evaluate sequential vegetative and fruiting characteristics of black walnut. 'Sparrow' vegetative shoots or those with one fruit were smaller in diameter than shoots with three fruits in ...
