Fruit cluster pruning impacts on yield and quality of three tomato cultivars in an organic high tunnel system
The successful production of high-quality, high-yielding crops is important for fruit and vegetable producers, especially growers who use high tunnels. The valuable space within a high tunnel is well-suited to organic ... -
Root microbial interactions to enhance wheat productivity under water stress
Water stress is one of the obstacles that most profoundly affects plant growth and crop yields worldwide. Water stress causes serious plant growth problems such as suppression of cell growth and photosynthesis, disturbance ... -

Evaluation of the effectiveness of Supplemental lights vs No supplemental lights on hydroponically grown lettuce
The purpose of the study was to examine the literature from the past 20 years regarding the evaluation of the Effectiveness of Supplemental lights vs No supplemental lights on Organic and Synthetic lettuce production via ... -
Dietary fiber content of dry pea, chickpea, and lentil determined using the consensus analytical method, AOAC 2011.25
The health benefits of dietary fiber and its constituents have been well documented. However, the consumption of dietary fiber is lower than recommended levels worldwide, and the gap between actual consumption and recommended ... -
Demographic processes in forest trees in the Rocky Mountains
Forests provide numerous ecological and economic services including regulation of biogeochemical cycles, fiber production, watershed protection, as well as less tangible aesthetic and recreational benefits. Forests are ... -
Comparative physiological and proteomic analysis reveal distinct regulation of peach skin quality traits by altitude
The role of environment in fruit physiology has been established; however, knowledge regarding the effect of altitude in fruit quality traits is still lacking. Here, skin tissue quality characters were analyzed in peach ... -
Mimulus gemmiparus as a model for the ex situ propagation and study of propagule storage for a species of concern
Mimulus gemmiparus, W.A. Weber, budding monkeyflower, is a Colorado narrow endemic plant that could be at risk of extinction. Factors including rarity, a unique mode of clonal, vegetative, annual reproduction through petiole ... -
Profiling and putative aroma biomarker identification for flavor in potatoes using a trained sensory panel and HS-SPME GC-MS
Flavor is the synthesis of taste and aroma sensations. The taste fraction of flavor, including salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and savory, refers to non-volatile chemical compounds that are detected by epithelial cells in the ... -
Comparison of soil properties and Kentucky bluegrass shoots mineral composition prior to and after 10-11 years irrigation with recycled water
In Colorado, fresh water is one of the most valuable and limited natural resources. Due to population growth, an increase of fresh water withdrawal has been reported by U.S. Geological Survey. Irrigation with recycled water ... -
Root-rhizosphere interactions and modifications
The interactions between the plant and rhizosphere are complex, but recent research is elucidating more about a diverse array of relationships. In response to the growing demand for natural or plant produced pesticides and ... -
Irrigation effects on growth, stress, visual quality and evapotranspiration of ornamental grasses
Deficit irrigation research has proven extremely effective for reducing the amount of irrigation applied to various types of landscape plants including trees, shrubs, and herbaceous ornamental plants. This research has ... -

Analysis of root growth in two turfgrass species with minirhizotron and soil coring methods
In this study root growth of a turf-type variety of inland saltgrass (Distichlis spicata L. Greene) (a native grass with varieties in development by Colorado State University) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (a ... -
The evaluation of the potential for chlorine dioxide to prime plant defenses for a systemic acquired resistance in light red kidney bean plants inoculated with common bean bacterial wilt
The induction of plant defenses is a great preventative tool for greenhouse and nursery managers to protect their plants. By priming plants with abiotic or biotic measures, managers can induce systemic acquired resistance ... -
Increasing bud cold hardiness through foliar application of abscisic acid and urea on four cultivars of V. vinifera in western Colorado
There is a lack of economic sustainability on the increasingly popular cold-sensitive Vitis vinifera cultivars due to cold damage, resulting in very low crop yields. Recent research to improve the cold hardiness of these ... -
Evaluation of the effectiveness of Colorado State University's compost for lettuce production
The impact of Colorado State University (CSU) compost application at high and low rate (36.48, HC, and 9.52, LC, kg/acre respectively) on red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa) production in a high hoop house was evaluated ... -
Manipulating the soil microbiome to increase plant health and productivity
Rhizosphere microbial communities offer immense benefits to plants. The rhizomicrobiome has the ability to help combat numerous biotic and abiotic stresses as well as increase plant health and productivity. In a world where ...
