Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble silicon: its role in crop and disease management of greenhouse crops
Journal ArticleDOI
Foliar applications of potassium silicate reduce severity of powdery mildew on cucumber, muskmelon, and zucchini squash
TL;DR: The extent of control of powdery mildew diseases of cucumber, muskmelon, and zucchini squash is determined through foliar or root applications of soluble potassium silicate, and the duration of control may be obtained with foliar applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble silicon sprays inhibit powdery mildew development on grape leaves
TL;DR: Reduced severity of grape mildew by Si sprays may be partly due to a physical barrier to hyphal penetration and to a resistance response involving the lateral movement of Si and its deposition within the leaf at fungal penetration sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cover crops to increase soil microbial diversity and mitigate decline in perennial agriculture. A review
Eric Vukicevich,Eric Vukicevich,Tom Lowery,Pat Bowen,José Ramón Úrbez-Torres,Miranda M. Hart +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that non-crop vegetation management is a viable and cost-effective means of minimizing crop decline in perennial monocultures but is in need of more direct experimental investigation in perennial agroecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitis vinifera terpenoid cyclases: functional identification of two sesquiterpene synthase cDNAs encoding (+)-valencene synthase and (-)-germacrene D synthase and expression of mono- and sesquiterpene synthases in grapevine flowers and berries.
TL;DR: VvVal and VvGerD cDNA probes revealed strong signals in Northern hybridizations with RNA isolated from grapevine flower buds, and transcripts hybridizing with VvVal appeared during late ripening of the berries.
