This may be any time between late fall and early winter. Once the ground freezes, water will not penetrate to the root zone, so irrigation is pointless. In warmer climates, the ground may not ...
Desiccated potato plants prior to harvest. Pre-harvest crop desiccation is the application of an agent to a crop just before harvest to kill the leaves and/or plants so that the crop dries out from environmental conditions, or "dry-down", more quickly and evenly.
Deficit irrigation (DI) is a watering strategy that can be applied by different types of irrigation application methods. The correct application of DI requires thorough understanding of the yield response to water (crop sensitivity to drought stress) and of the economic impact of reductions in harvest. [1]
Zoysia grasses stop erosion on slopes, and are excellent at repelling weeds throughout the year. [11] They resist disease and hold up well under traffic. [12] The cultivar Zoysia 'Emerald' (Emerald Zoysia), a hybrid between Z. japonica and Z. tenuifolia, [13] is particularly popular. Some types of zoysia are available commercially as sod in ...
Water a flowering holiday cactus when the top of the soil is dry to the touch, and allow excess water to freely drain away from the root zone—don’t let it stand in water in a saucer or pot cover.
L.A. Times readers share how they are conserving water in California amid drought restrictions. Flush less. Bathe less. L.A. Times readers' tips for saving water in the drought
The agricultural cycle is the annual cycle of activities related to the growth and harvest of a crop (plant). These activities include loosening the soil, seeding, special watering, moving plants when they grow bigger, and harvesting, among others. Without these activities, a crop cannot be grown.
Emerald Zoysia is adapted to zones 7-11 [1] and does well in warm, humid environments. It is an excellent grass for the southern and southeastern states. Once established it requires less water than St. Augustine but slightly more than Bermuda. [2] It is drought tolerant due to its deep root structure. [3]
