Investigation of Carex: A look at seed dormancy, use as a low input lawn, and local stand characterization
(2022-07)
Carex has been an underutilized genus across multiple industries due, in part, to poor germination resulting from a strong primary dormancy. Dormancy can usually be broken using stratification or plant hormones, but the ...
Colored shade nets effect on growth, flowering, and carbohydrates of vegetable and ornamental plants grown under greenhouse and field conditions
(2022-12)
Light is available to plants throughout the year and plays an important role in germination, phototropism, and reproduction. High light intensities can reduce plant quality and raises temperature above optimum in greenhouses. ...
Assessing Sesquiterpene lactone and sugar concentrations as indicators of heat tolerance in field produced lettuce in Oklahoma
(2022-07)
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a cool season vegetable typically grown in the spring and fall in Oklahoma by small farmers. Lettuce is not typically grown in the heat of the summer because excessive heat stress causes ...
Seasonal and root-zone temperature influence on sesquiterpene lactone and sugar concentration in hydroponically-grown lettuce
(2022-07)
Lettuce is one of the most important leafy vegetables in the United States and is subjected to a decrease in edible quality when cultivated in environments with hot temperatures and increased day-length. Specifically, ...
Effect of water temperature on basil growth in hydroponics and evaluation of hydrogen peroxide products on algae and plant growth
(2022-05)
Root zone temperature is an important factor in growing plants, whether in the field or hydroponically. In this research, three temperatures (23°C, 27.5°C, and 31°C) were evaluated to measure their effect on plant growth ...
