Information on emergent insect associated tree diseases including epidemiological studies of drippy blight disease of oak and thousand cankers disease of walnut
Two emergent disease complexes called drippy blight and thousand cankers have become injurious to hardwood trees in communities across the urban corridor of Colorado. In order to better understand these disease complexes, ... -
Understanding broad-spectrum disease resistance in rice: prompting a genome-wide uprising
Rice is the main staple food crop of the world, and thus, the detriments caused by rice diseases are a threat to international food security. The emergence of new virulent strains of pathogens can significantly reduce ... -
Response of desirable trees to aminocyclopyrachlor in the field and greenhouse
Aminocyclopyrachlor is a selective, plant growth regulator herbicide in the pyrimidine carboxylic acid family. Previously, aminocyclopyrachlor was marketed for turfgrass management but was withdrawn by the EPA in light of ... -
Studies on the management of the swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius Horvath (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) and survival off its avian host
The swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius Horvath is a common ectoparasite primarily associated with cliff swallows, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota (Vieillot). When the mud nests of the cliff swallows are constructed on homes and ... -
Indaziflam: a new cellulose biosynthesis inhibiting herbicide provides long-term control of invasive winter annual grasses
Invasive winter annual grasses such as downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.) are a threat to native ecosystems throughout the US. These invasive grasses exploit moisture and nutrients throughout the fall and early spring before ... -
Sustainable management of non-native thistles on the Western Slope
The scope of this research is unique in that it encompasses all phases of the weed management process. From problem identification, to identifying and testing solutions, to implementing the solution in a real world ... -
Chemical control of Cytospora leucostoma, a major limiting factor of peach production in western Colorado
Cytospora canker, Cytospora leucostoma, is a major limiting factor of peach production in Colorado, accounting for 15-20% of crop production loss annually. Given the unique environmental factors of the western slope region ... -
A faculty-librarian collaboration success story: implementing a teach-the-teacher library and information literacy instruction model in a first-year agricultural science course
Teaching information literacy requires a constant and evolving paradigm shift in today's fast-changing technology era. Add to this the intricacy of agricultural science education, and it becomes clear that instructors face ...
