Insufficient winter chill accumulation can detrimentally impact agriculture. Understanding the changing risk of insufficient chill accumulation can guide orchard management and cultivar selection for long-lived perennial crops including peaches. This study quantifies the influence of modeled anthropogenic climate change on observed chill accumulation since 1981 and projected chill accumulation through the mid-21st century, with a focus on principal peach-growing regions in the southeastern United States, and commonly grown peach cultivars with low, moderate, and high chill accumulation requirements. Anthropogenic climate change has reduced winter chill accumulation, increased the probability of winters with low chill accumulation, and increased the likelihood of winters with insufficient chill for commonly grown peach cultivars in the southeastern United States. Climate projections show a continuation of reduced chill accumulation and increased probability of winters with insufficient chill accumulation for cultivars with high chill requirements, with approximately 40% of years by mid-century having insufficient chill in Georgia. The results highlight the importance of inter-annual variability in agro-climate risk assessments and suggest that adaptive measures may be necessary in order to maintain current peach production practices in the region in the coming decades.

The rapid spread of clover root weevil (Sitona lepidus) (CRW) since its introduction in the early 1990s, threatens the competitive advantage of New Zealand's pastoral industry. When CRW was discovered, it had already spr ead too far for containment. The insect's distribution currently covers the North Island and there is no reason to prevent its spread ultimately throughout NZ. With no competing species, CRW is more damaging in NZ than in its native Europe. Clover root weevil affects white clover nitrogen (N) fixation while simultaneously reducing the clover content of pastures thereby lowering total forage quality. Legume germplasm was screened for resistance/tolerance and while no resistance was discovered, vigorous growing white c lover plants showed tolerance to CRW and gains from selection for tolerance were achieved. Eliminating remnant clover before pasture renovation or growing a crop between grass stages reduces the resident CRW population and improves clover re-establishment. However, CRW can reinvade and potentially return to its original density. Two candidate biological control agents are being pursued for release later in 2005. Clover root weevil's impact on pastoral farming varies, partially due to environmental variation, which dictates clover growth and CRW development.
