Wine grape producers take advantage of the arid conditions and use irrigation management to control vine growth and vigor. The precise control of irrigation timing and amount also affects the wine making characteristics of the fruit produced. A Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L) vineyard was used... B. Riley, R.

2. Effectiveness of Soil-applied Zinc for Pecans

Pecan trees [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K.

We tested the efficacy of soil applied Zn-EDTA, Zn-Avail®, and ZnSO4 plus animal manure for supplying Zn to young pecans. Zn-EDTA supplied adequate Zn to potted pecan trees for one season only. The other soil Zn treatments had no appreciable effect. A soil sorption... J. Walworth, H. Nunez moreno, K. Stevens
