D-Vine Pair-Copula Models for Longitudinal Binary Data
… we study alternatives that are based on D-vine pair-copula models. We consider both the serial dependence modeled by the first order autoregressive (AR(1)) and the equicorrelated correlation structures. Simulation results show that our model is more effective than MP model. Some real life …

Evaluation of Nitrogen Management Schemes upon Vine Performance in Cover Cropped Vineyards
Vineyards in the Eastern United States are often prone to excessive vegetative growth. In order to suppress excessive vine vigor, many viticulturists have employed cover cropping strategies. Cover crops provide a myriad of agronomic benefits, however they are known to compete with the vine for …

Effects of mulching, pinching, and vine spreading on production of fresh market tomatoes
… to test the effects of mulching, pinching, and vine spreading on production of groundgrown, fresh market tomatoes. Pinching out the apex of tomato plants 7 days after field setting in 1971 delayed fruit harvest but did not affect total yield or fruit quality. Pinching gave no better natural …

New Herbicide Strategies for Weed Management in Pumpkin and Soybean and Potato Vine Desiccation
… are routinely executed with herbicides. Potato vine desiccation facilitates harvest, improves skin set, and regulates tuber size. Saflufenacil, glufosinate, saflufenacil plus glufosinate, and carfentrazone plus glufosinate were compared to diquat applied at 43, 31, and 17% B potatoes; similar …

Reproduction and development of the black vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in relation to environmental factors
Otiorhynchus sulcatus (Fabricius) is a serious pest of various horticultural crops in the United States. Despite its economic importance, this pest remains very challenging to manage. Integrated Pest Management Program for O. sulcatus has not yet been implemented due to lack of accurate information …

Reflective mulch effects on the grapevine environment, Pinot noir vine performance, and juice and wine characteristics
Reflective mulches were applied in a cool climate vineyard in Canterbury, New Zealand. Materials used were waste products: mussel shells (MS) and green (GG) and clear (CG) recycled crushed glass. A control of bare soil was also included. MS and CG were light coloured while GG and CON were dark. …

Root restriction, under-trellis cover cropping, and rootstock modify vine size and berry composition of Cabernet Sauvignon
Vineyards in the Mid-Atlantic often have large, vigorous vines that can be costly to manage and produce inadequate fruit for wine production. Dense canopies increase the incidence of fungal disease, require greater allocation of resources to manage, and inhibit fruit development. The primary …

Vineyard floor management in the Finger Lakes region: physiological and microbial perspectives
Excessive vine vegetative growth in wet, cool climates increases management costs and compromises grape quality. However, the standard practice of bare soil under vines exacerbates the vigor problem. Previous studies found that using under-vine cover crops reduced vine vigor in young vineyards but …
