Lamey, Extension Plant Pathologist During warm, wet weather, bacterial angular leafspot can cause serious yield and quality loss to cucumbers. The bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans (Pseudomonas lachrymans) , also infects other cucurbits including zucchini, squash, honeydew melon, muskmelon, and watermelon.

Lamey, Extension Plant Pathologist R.C. Smith, Extension Horticulturist Symptoms Control Bacterial spot and bacterial speck have been reported in nearly all temperate countries.

Cool System Hot System Benefits of Compost Benefits of Compost as a Topdressing for Turfgrass One of the reasons North Dakota was so attractive to early settlers was the high organic matter content of the soil: crops sown grew at rapid rates and produced yields that were to set some standards for the Upper Midwest. Soil management in those early years was in the utilization of organic matter residue. Petroleum based fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides were unheard of in 1900. Barnyard manure, straw, corncobs, etc., were all reincorporated into the soil to return some nutrient value, but primarily to maintain the soil's superior tilth.

		Weed Control in Vegetable Gardens ^Votes:0 Weed Control in Vegetable Gardens Revised 4/93 -- Author Reviewed 2/99 HIL-8101 David W. Monks and Larry Bass Extension Horticultural Specialists Department of Horticultural Science Weeds are unwanted plants in gardens that reduce available moisture, nutrients, sunlight and growing space needed by crop plants. Their presence can reduced crop growth, quality and yield. In addition, they can make harvest difficult. Weeds also provide cover for diseases, insects and animals (rodents, box turtles, snakes, etc.). Garden weeds are hard to control because they grow rapidly, produce vast numbers of seeds, and spread aggressively by vegetative structures and/or seeds. There are several methods that should be used in a combined, coordinated effort to control weeds. They include cultural, mechanical Read More Go to Site

		White Mold of Vegetables and Ornamentals ^Votes:0 White Mold of Vegetables and Ornamentals PP-899, Reviewed July 1996 Cynthia L. Ash , Diagnostician Symptoms Disease Cycle Control Table 1. Plants Susceptible to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum White mold or Sclerotinia disease caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes a wilt, rot and blight of over 374 ornamentals, field crops, weeds and vegetables in 64 plant families (Table 1). Susceptibility to the white mold fungus varies considerably among these plants from a hardly noticeable infection to complete destruction. Unfortunately, those plants which are only slightly susceptible may build up the fungus in the soil. Then when a very susceptible crop such as cabbage or petunia is planted and conditions are favorable, severe disease losses result. White mold is one of the most destructive Read More Go to Site

		Why and how of Saving your own Seeds ^Votes:0 The Why And How Of Saving Your Own Seed's If left to themselves, our fleshy fruits would naturally fall to the soil and rot slowly, allowing some of their seeds to settle into the ground , and sprout when spring arrives. Saving seeds from these plants mimics Nature s way of gardening. But remember, only seeds from open-pollinated (not hybrid) plants will produce the same crop next year. And except for tomatoes, you need to be fairly certain that the plants in question have not been cross pollinated by insects. Such saved seeds might grow into something similar to the parents, or something tough and tasteless. Tomatoes are self-pollinating . So if you avoid hybrid varieties you'll be able to grow the same tomato from seed saved from each plant next year, even if different varieties were gro Read More Go to Site

		Wide-Row Vegetable Gardening ^Votes:0 Gardening in Limited Space Is space limited for a vegetable garden at your house? If so, wide-row gardening may be a practical solution. It is a way to produce an abundant quantity of vegetables in limited space. Wide-row gardening means grouping several rows together, rather than planting in single rows. This reduces the amount of walking room between rows. In addition to saving space, it saves time, increases yield and makes harvesting easier. Because we have limited space and want to utilize every inch that is available, we have used this method in our garden for several years. With the rising cost of produce we consider this to be especially important. My vegetable beds are about four feet wide and 20 feet long. Here is an example of how much space this conserves: In one wide-row bed t Read More Go to Site
