Seedborne fusarium and root colonization of container-grown douglas-fir seedlings
… of seedborne Fusarium in root colonization of container-grown Douglas-fir seedlings was studied in two coastal Douglas-fir seedlots; one contaminated with Fusarium and the other with minimal Fusarium. Seedlots were treated using either a standing water imbibition, or a running water imbibition …

Evaluation of eastern redcedar as a substrate for container-grown plant production
… fertilizer produced larger plants, that plants grown at either rate of fertilizer showed the same growth trends. As JVC content increased more than 20%, growth measurements such as shoot dry weight and plant height decreased. This decrease in growth can be attributed to the physical properties …

The influence of bed cover type (gravel vs plastic) on container-grown plants
… cover type (gravel or plastic) influenced the container environment or growth of Rhododendron ‘Girard Pleasant White’ and Ilex crenata Thunb. ‘Bennets Compacta’ in 11.4 L pine bark-filled containers. Measurements included bed cover, substrate, and plant canopy temperatures; evapotranspiration, …

Overhead sprinkler irrigation strategies to reduce water and nitrogen loss from container-grown plants
… Marigold (<u>Tagetes erecta</u> L. 'Apollo') was grown in unamended or sand-amended pine bark in 3.8-liter containers. After saturation, bark was allowed to dry via evapotranspiration to targeted moisture deficits after which irrigation treatments were applied via a simulated overhead irrigation …

Suction Cup Lysimeter Method for Extracting Pine Bark Substrate Solution
… the 4.8-cm ½-bar lysimeters were installed in containers with pine bark substrate and Quercus phellos L. (willow oak) trees. Volumes extracted were somewhat erratic and not strongly dependent upon centibars of vacuum or extraction time. Lysimeters immersed in water demonstrated that variability …

The influence of plant age and nitrogen rate on nutrient removal from the container medium solution
… nutrient supply to the medium solution of container-grown crops is a major concern to container plant production practices. The extent to which nutrients are removed by the plant from the medium solution of a container, however, has never been demonstrated. Mariogold, Tagetes erecta ‘Inca’ …

Euonymus scale, Unaspis euonymi (Comstock): host preference, and distribution of native and imported natural enemies in Virginia
… Analysis of data collected from field-grown plants and container-grown plants indicates that Euonymus japonicus (Thunb.) 'Albo-marginatus' would sustain the highest populations of U. euonymi. In 1992 and 1993, surveys were conducted to determine the presence of existing natural enemies …

Effect of nitrogen fertilization on the physiological damage and subsequent recovery of mite-infested apple leaves
Two experiments were conducted with field- and container-grown 'Delicious' apple trees to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization on the physiology of apple leaves subjected to European red mite feeding, and the subsequent recovery of leaf function following mite removal. Nitrogen (N) …

Effects of disbudding, defoliating, tipping, and pruning on young, potted apple trees
… of Malling Merton (MM) 111 apple trees were container-grown in a greenhouse and trained to a single shoot. When shoot length averaged 73 cm, the following treatments were applied: a) check, untreated (CK); b) tipped (shoot apex removed) and top 1/2 of shoot disbudded (T-DB); c) top 1/2 of …
