Bacterial leaf streak of corn (Zea mays) recently reached epidemic levels in three corn-growing states, and has been detected another six states the central United States. Xanthomonas vasicola was identified as causal agent this disease. A multilocus sequence alignment housekeeping genes comparison average nucleotide identity from draft genome were used to confirm phylogenetic relationships classification bacteria relative other X. strains. isolates Nebraska South Africa highly virulent on...
Abstract Regenerative farming is a common practice adopted to enhance soil health. Routinely, cheaply measured health indicators can be used predict unknown indicators, which makes analysis simple and fast. The objective of this study was determine the interaction relationship between effects regenerative practices on indicators. We conducted comprehensive on‐farm across Florida, measuring 11 for 592 samples that were collected from surface 15 cm 13 experimental sites. Sampled fields...
In August of 2011, the North Dakota State University Plant Diagnostic Lab received a hybrid corn (Zea mays) leaf sample from Burleigh County in south-central (ND). The had long, irregular, water-soaked lesions consistent with Goss's blight corn. Using light microscope at 10× magnification, bacterial streaming was observed excised edge tissue. A suspension created, streaked onto semi-selective CNS medium (1), and incubated 22°C. Dark yellow-orange colonies appeared on after 5 days. Single...
In September 2009, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic received leaf samples hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) displaying long, necrotic lesions with wavy margins. The had discontinuous water-soaked spots that are indicative Goss's bacterial wilt blight. symptomatic leaves were submitted from Dallam County, located in Texas Panhandle (northwest Texas). According to USDA Farm Service Agency National Agricultural Statistics Service, 2009 County 54,025 ha planted corn....
Conventional cropping systems on sandy soils require continuous application of large amounts external nutrients and irrigation water yet remain vulnerable to loses these inputs. Within the state Florida, need exists provide farmers with economically viable alternatives that harness ecological processes improve soil health biodiversity. Cover crops are proving be vital in development health. As part this study we conducted a comprehensive on-farm assessment involving nine collaborative...
Industrial hemp is Cannabis sativa that contains < 0.3% THC and can be legally grown with permits in Florida. The plant may for flower, grain, or fiber production. Other than the lower levels, same botanically as marijuana. Because this has long been on Schedule 1 controlled substance list U.S. (United States), knowledge of pests diseases limited, labelled control measures are almost non-existent. This publication provides information general management recommendations found Management...
Abstract The integration of cover cropping in conventional farming systems has shown positive impacts on soil health enhancement. In Florida, where concerns persist about low productivity mineral soils and significant carbon loss from organic soils, farmers are increasingly adopting crops their routines. This collaborative study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects cropping, comprehend connections between indicators, measure quality indices for both soils. Across we conducted a...
Intercropping cereal grains and legumes has potential as an alternative cool-season forage cropin low-input farming systems. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effects density, species proportion nitrogen (N) supply on biomass accumulation field pea spring oat grown sole or intercrops. Greenhouse experiments conducted using additive series experimental design. Treatments included threefertilizer Nrates 20 density/proportion combinationsin a randomized complete block with four...
