Water Quality For Floriculture Crops, HYG-1249-96 Consequently, the effect of water alkalinity on media pH will be different on cropsgrown in warm weather (with high transpiration) than on crops grown in http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1249.html
Extractions: Dr. Claudio C. Pasian The relationship between water quality and fertility is the Rube Goldberg machine of floriculture. The quality of the water that floriculture growers use to irrigate their crops significantly effects fertility, seed germination, plant growth, and plant susceptibility to pests and diseases. In many cases, water quality is the limiting factor in floral crop production. Water quality is a common problem. The information in this fact sheet deals strictly with pH and alkalinity-two important factors still not well understood by many growers. The pH is a measure of the concentration of the hydrogen protons (H ) and hydroxide (OH ) in a solution. If hydrogen protons predominate, the solution is acidic. If hydroxides predominate, the solution is basic. pH is measured on a to 14 scale. A pH of 7 indicates neutrality. pH values below 7 indicate acidic conditions; pH values above 7 indicate basic conditions. Water alkalinity is a measure of the capacity of the water to neutralize acids. If an acid is added to water, the pH of the water will decrease because the acid adds H
Extractions: Minister for Human Services DISCUSSION PAPER RELEASED ON GM CROPS A discussion paper on Genetically Modified crops has been released today by the State Government to seek public comment. The paper " Preserving the Identity of non-Genetically Modified Crops in South Australia " aims to canvass community views on the need to preserve the identity of non-GM crops. Minister for Human Services Dean Brown says the purpose of the paper is to encourage public discussion and debate and for the community to express their views. "Health Ministers have already set down a very high standard requiring labelling of foods containing GM ingredients," Mr Brown says. "This gives consumers information in which to make choices. The new food labelling requirements become operative in December this year." Mr Brown says the paper will ensure the government is aware of peoples views and concerns during the development of new laws which may directly impact on South Australians, the States agrifood industry and the biotechnology industry.

Extractions: Home About Us New Organisms Hazardous Substances ... 2000 Media Releases The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry destroyed fifteen hectares of Balo (Phacelia tanacetifolia) crop in Canterbury this morning after it was found the crop was from uncleared seed contaminated with two exotic weed seeds. In conjunction, a Canterbury seed company may be prosecuted under the Biosecurity Act for failing to obtain clearance from MAF before taking possession and distributing a consignment of Balo seed. Biosecurity clearance had been withheld because sampling showed the seed was contaminated. Dr Dave Nendick, MAF Biosecurity Authority's national adviser specialising in importation of seeds and nursery stock said that the company had not once, but twice, distributed the contaminated seed held in its storehouses without obtaining a biosecurity clearance. The second time it was distributed was after they had been specifically told by MAF not to do so. The Balo consignment was contaminated with two exotic weed seeds not found in New Zealand, Galium spurium and Chenopodium hybridum, and one regulated seed, Panicum miliaceum. Weed contamination in commercial crops can dramatically escalate costs to producers by increasing the need for control. The two weed seeds found have been recorded as serious weed contaminants over a range of arable crops in several northern hemisphere countries and in Africa.

Extractions: Peter Sikkema - Ridgetown College/University of Guelph Creation Date: 30 April 2004 Last Reviewed: 30 April 2004 History: Occurs in a wide range of habitats ranging from lawns and field crops to the floor of deciduous forests. Common chickweed is one of the widest spread weed species in Ontario Annual or winter annual reproducing by seed and by horizontally spreading leafy stems that root at the nodes. Common chickweed will flower throughout the spring, summer and fall. One plant can produce between 10,000 to 20,000 seeds. Seeds will germinate at a depth of 1-2 cm. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of common chickweed is the single lengthwise line of fine white hair on one side of the stem but switching sides above and below each node (Figure 1). Stems are prostrate to semi-erect. The leaves are opposite (2 per node), oval with pointed tips and smooth or slightly hairy (Figure 2). The flower of common chickweed is small with 5 "two lobed" white petals, which give the appearance of 10 tiny petals (for more information, see Page 73 in OMAF Publication 505 - Ontario Weeds

Extractions: Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. Richard Feynman Nobel physicist Richard Feynman was talking about the role NASA and its industrial partners played in the 1986 Challenger disaster, but his words could easily apply to the debate over genetically modified (GM) crops. When grain processor Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) of Decatur, Ill., asked suppliers on Sept. 2 to segregate GM corn from traditional varieties, some U.S. biotechnologists probably wondered if it was the beginning of the end for crops that already cover an area larger than the United Kingdom. ADM's move followed a European blockade of imported GM foods and a growing trickle of American companies banning GM ingredients from their products. Has the near panic in Europe over GM foods leaped the Atlantic? How can science be separated from hype to make sense of the actual risks in GM foods? "It's becoming an epidemic. If large end users stop accepting a product, it is going to dampen the entire pipeline. There will be fewer gene-spliced crops grown, and less research and development," maintains

Monitoring, sanitation, biological controls, biorational pesticides, insect growth regulators, and disease control methods are discussed. Tables include information on the newest biorational pesticides and biological control organisms. Go To Top Insects and diseases are a major challenge to greenhouse production. IPM is an important tool in the management of these pests. The primary goal of IPM is to optimize pest control in an economically and ecologically sound way. IPM involves the integration of cultural, physical, biological, and chemical practices to grow crops with minimal use of pesticides. Monitoring, sampling, and record keeping are used to determine when control options are needed to keep pests below an economically damaging threshold. Pest management, not eradication, is the goal of IPM.

Extractions: Facsimile: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 Adelaide scientists are angry at the proposed introduction of two Bills to South Australian Parliament that would impact on the research and commercialisation of genetically modified (GM) crops. The scientists say some MPs supporting the Bills have ignored offers of more information about GM crops. The group of scientists includes Australian and world leaders in their fields, from the University of Adelaide, the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Australian Weed Management and the CRC for Molecular Plant Breeding. They say a Canadian farmer, Mr Percy Schmeiser, brought to Australia to promote the anti-GM line, has made misleading and false claims about GM crops, and that some South Australian politicians continued to support Mr Schmeiser despite his claims being discredited by the Federal Court of Canada. South Australian Democrats MLC Mr Ian Gilfillan is expected to introduce a Bill to State Parliament today (Tuesday, July 16) for a five-year moratorium on GM crops. It is believed that No Pokies MLC Mr Nick Xenophon will also introduce a related bill.
