Item Apples(University of Minnesota, 1897) Green, Samuel B.Item A Bibliography of Cold Hardiness Research with Special Emphasis on Grasses(Department of Horticulture, University of Minnesota, 1977) White, Donald B.; Smithberg, Margaret H.Item Bio-based Weed Control in Strawberries Using Sheep Wool Mulch, Canola Mulch, and Canola Green Manure(Minnesota Department of Agriculture, 2000) Hoover, Emily EStrawberry producers in Minnesota, and elsewhere, have lost or are soon to lose many of the chemical weed control options which they previously depended upon, i.e. Dacthal, methyl bromide, etc. Over reliance upon a small number of herbicides may be expected in the near future which could result in additional problems, both agricultural and legal, for producers. As a consequence of these actions and possibilities, producers of many horticultural crops are now desperate for management systems that include viable alternatives for weed control. Our proposed experiment with strawberries may serve as a model that has relevance to a number of other high value fruit and vegetable crops such as broccoli, cabbage, leeks, melons, tomatoes, and zucchini, to name a few. Our objective is to reduce herbicide use in strawberry production through two mechanisms. The first involves research and demonstration of combined biological, cultural, and mechanical weed control, which is itself an example of integrated weed management. The second involves the substitution of a renewable resource-based fumigant/ herbicide/mulch for weed management in strawberries, a crop directly consumed by the public.Item Cold Climate Strawberry Farming(2014-07-22) Martin, Echo; Tepe, Emily; Wold-Burkness, SuzanneItem Cold Climate Strawberry Farming Video 1.1. Why do we grow strawberries?(2014) University of Minnesota, Department of Horticultural ScienceItem Cold Climate Strawberry Farming, Video 1.2. Use your community.(2014) University of Minnesota, Department of Horticultural ScienceItem Commercial Strawberry Production in Minnesota(Department of Horticultural Science, 2016) Hoover, Emily E; Luby, Jim; Rosen, Carl; Wold-Burkness, Suzanne; Tepe, Emily SStrawberries can be successfully grown on a commercial scale throughout much of Minnesota and are also well suited for small-scale and part-time farming operations. This bulletin covers important factors to consider when establishing and managing a commercial perennial June-bearing strawberry planting. Includes site selection, cultivars, establishment procedures, nutrient management, weed and pest management, irrigation, and marketing.Item Day-neutral Strawberry Production in Minnesota(Department of Horticultural Science, 2016) Hoover, Emily E; Luby, Jim; Rosen, Carl; Wold-Burkness, SuzanneDay-neutral strawberries differ from traditional June-bearing types in that they flower and fruit continuously when temperatures are moderate because they are insensitive to day length. This bulletin provides an overview of day-neutral strawberry establishment and management. Includes cultivar selection, spacing and planting, nutrient management, weed management, insect and disease management, and overwintering.Item Development of ground covers for highway slopes. Interim report(Department of Horticultural Science, University of Minnesota, 1966) Johnson, Albert G.; White, Donald B.; Smithberg, Margaret H.Item Grape IPM Guide for Minnesota Producers(2011) Hoover, Emily E.; Wold-Burkness, Suzanne; Hilton, Joy; Mollov, Dimitre; Burkness, Eric; Galvan, Tederson; Hemstad, Peter; Hutchinson, W.D.Item Growing hardy kiwifruit in the home garden(Department of Horticultural Science, 2018) Luby, Jim; Hoover, Emily E; Tepe, Emily; Guthrie, BobNative to the forests of eastern Asia, about 80 species of Actinidia are known. Two of these, A. kolomikta and A. arguta can be grown in Minnesota and similar regions, and produce delicious, grape-sized berries with a flavor similar to grocery store kiwifruit though somewhat sweeter. This article provides information for home gardeners who are interested in growing this plant.Item Holway Collection(1928)Item How much effort does it take to grow fruit?(Department of Horticultural Science, 2018) Hoover, Emily E; Tepe, Emily SBecause fruits are perennial plants, they require a bit more commitment than vegetables. This chart shows the typical amount of effort and commitment it takes to achieve satisfaction in various aspects of growing fruit in Minnesota.Item Introducing cold-hardy kiwifruit to Minnesota(Minnesota Department of Agriculture, 2010) Luby, James; Guthrie, Robert; Theship-Rosales, EricThe goal of this project is to introduce Minnesota growers to kiwifruit and provide them with information about the culture and management of growing this tasty and nutritious cold-hardy crop using two trellising approaches, pergola and T-bar, that prevent soil erosion, conserve soil moisture, and integrate natural biological measures. Articles in previous editions of the Greenbook described our activities in year one and year two of the project. This article provides the information about how to build a pergola system for kiwifruit or grapes.Item Methods and Materials for the Maintenance of Turf on Highway Rights-of-Way: An Annotated Bibliography(Department of Horticultural Science, University of Minnesota, 1971) Smithberg, Margaret H.; White, Donald B.Item Minnesota’s Hardy Plums: The Story of a Fruit and its Ties to Rural and Urban Landscapes(Prospect Books, 2018) Tepe, Emily S.The state of Minnesota experiences some of the most prolonged periods of extreme cold in the continental United States. The famously frigid winters make Minnesota about the last place one would expect to find fruit trees, which is the reality settlers faced when they began arriving in the mid 1800s. The determination of a handful of fruit growers who vowed to change this fate helped establish the University of Minnesota fruit breeding programme in 1878. Since then, the programme has developed over 100 hardy fruit varieties, including apples, grapes, plums, cherries, apricots, pears, and berries. In this Upper Midwest state where early settlers lamented the lack of fresh fruit, commercial orchards are now abundant and home owners include fruit trees in their gardens. In recent years, the University of Minnesota fruit breeding programme has focused on apples and grapes, yet the programme’s early work on plums effectively changed the food landscape for people in northern regions. For almost 140 years, these plum varieties have played an important role in the story of cold climate fruit production: from early settlers seeking food to survive, to today’s consumers seeking a return to locally produced food.Item Native Plants of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum(1965) Johnson, A.
