Mother Plants

When acclimated strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. ’Redcoat’) from the field were placed in a programmable freezer, mother strawberry crowns were as hardy or hardier than daughter crowns when frozen to −11 °C. However, under field conditions, daughter plants expressed consistently greater hardiness than mother plants. Mulching had no effect on daughter plant survival, whereas enhanced mother plant survival was observed. Field-growth habit of mother crowns may be the important factor for consistent winter survival under prairie conditions. A simple scoring system was developed to predict survival of strawberry plants. Key words. Fragaria × ananassa Duch., strawberry, crowns, low temperature hardiness

A 2-year field study was conducted to evaluate the effects of maturity and storage on fresh-market onion (Allium cepa L.) quality. Four short-day onion cultivars (`NuMex BR1', `NuMex Sunlite', `NuMex Starlite', and `Buffalo') were seeded in early October each year. Bulbs were harvested at five times; the first and second harvests were when 20% and 80 %, respectively, of the bulbs in a plot had mature necks; the third, fourth, and fifth harvests were at 5,10, and 15 days after the second harvest date, respectively. After curing for 3 days, bulb firmness, weight, and incidence of disease were evaluated for all harvests. Bulbs were re-evaluated after 10 and 20 days storage in a shed under ambient conditions. `Buffalo' and `NuMex Surdite' bulbs had the lowest incidence of disease before storage. For all cultivars, average bulb weight increased and firmness decreased with delayed harvest. Percent diseased bulbs increased for all cultivars as harvest was delayed in 1991 but not in 1992. The optimum harvest time was at 80% maturity. In storage, average bulb weight and firmness decreased, and the incidence of bulb diseases increased.

Vacuum Device

The Biovac®, a tractor-propelled insect vacuum device, was evaluated for its effect on strawberry pollination. The device had little effect on the dispersal pattern of pollen ejected by its exhaust pipe. However, viability of ejected pollen was half that of pollen collected directly from flowers. Fruit weight and degree of pollination of fruit from flowers pollinated only by pollen dispersed by the Biovac were inferior (significantly 12 times out of 16) to those of flowers exposed to all pollinating agents.

The potential to produce broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. spp. Italica Plenck 'Green Valiant' and 'Emperor') at high latitudes was evaluated by measuring yield, head size and incidence of hollow stem in plantings at two sites and eight spacings. The maximum yield of individual heads for fresh market was obtained at a spacing of 45 × 30 cm using single plant transplants. At this spacing, yields for Green Valiant and Emperor were 18.3 and 15.0 MT ha−1, respectively. Broccoli heads small enough to be used for processing were obtained at a spacing of 45 × 40 cm using two plants per transplant plug with yields of 21.4 MT ha−1 for Green Valiant. These yields were compared with published studies and it was concluded that there was no effect of latitude on broccoli yields or head weights. The incidence of hollow stem was low in Alaska and occurred in Green Valiant planted at wide spacings. Only plants that produced heads with the largest mean weights and mean diameters exhibited hollow stem. The use of multiple plants per transplant plug decreases mean head weight and diameter and reduces the incidence of hollow stem. Key words: Alaska, Brassica oleracea, broccoli, high latitude, hollow stem, yield

Before And After

Early strawberry fruit production requires that non-dormant strawberry plants be covered during winter. Two methods were used to study the breaking of dormancy of Elsanta strawberry plants following chilling at temperatures below 8 °C. First, a morphological test using the petiole lengths of plants transferred from a nursery to a growth chamber was used. Second, the nucleotide contents before and after incubation of samples in an adenosine solution were measured by bioluminescence. The results show that these two methods can reveal changes in the growth potential of strawberry plants, and, therefore, the release from dormancy. Key words: Dormancy, strawberry plant, nucleotide, growth potential, Fragaria
