The growth regulators chlormequat (Cycocel), paclobutrazol (Bonzi), daminozide (B-Nine) and Bayleton 25WP (triadimefon) were studied for their ability to control plant height in seed propagated tuberous begonia (‘Nonstop’ begonias). Bayleton is a fungicide used for powdery mildew control that also has growth regulator effects. Two ml growth regulator solution was evenly sprayed on each plant two weeks after transplanting. Cycocel (500 parts per million [ppm], 1 mg active ingredient [a.i.] per plant) resulted in 23% shorter plants than the control plants 15 weeks after transplant. Bonzi (5 ppm, 0.01 mg a.i. per plant) treated begonias were 65% and Bayleton (150 mg•liter-1, 0.3 mg per plant) treated plants 43% shorter than the control plants. The number of flowers and shoots was severely reduced on plants treated with Bonzi or Bayleton. BNine was ineffective at the rate of 3000 ppm (6 mg a.i. per plant) for controlling plant height of seed propagated tuberous begonia

This is the seventh publication of grain perform ance trials in the Tanana River Valley. The first, published 6 years ago, included the results of spring cereal-variety tests conducted at Fairbanks and Delta Junction during the 1978 and 1979 growing seasons. Beginning in 1980, the variety-test results were annual publications. The length and content of this report is much less than for previous years. This is the result of a cost-saving measure to help cope with a shrinking budget

This is the eighth publication of grain performance trials in the Tanana River Valley. The first, published 7 years ago, included the results of spring cereal-variety tests conducted at Fairbanks and Delta Junction during the 1978 and 1979 growing seasons. Beginning in 1980, the variety-test results were annual publications. This report, like last year’s, is a shorter version than the first 6 publications of the series. It reflects continued budget constraints caused by Alaska’s sagging economy

This is the third publication in this form at on grain performance trials in the Tanana River Valley. The first, published two years ago, included the results of spring cereal variety tests conducted at Fairbanks and Delta Junction during the 1978 and 1979 growing seasons. The second, published one year ago, contained the test results from the 1980 growing season. Included in this report are a weather summary, the 1981 variety-test results, and a plant-disease section. Previous work with grain variety testing has shown that individual varieties do not perform the same when grown under different conditions. The yield a variety produces can be influenced by crop rotation, soil pH, fertilizer rate, tillage practices, rainfall distribution and amount, seeding rate, planting date, and many other factors. Each variety has its own particular set of growing conditions under which it best performs. For example, in the very same field, a variety that performs well on summer-fallow land may do poorly when planted on stubble land.Introduction -- Standard Bushel Weights and Conversion from English to Metric Units -- Tanana Valley Weather Summary: Table 1: Climatic Data for Delta Junction During the 1981 Growing Season; Table 2: Climatic Data for Fairbanks During the 1981 Growing Season -- Barley Performance Trials: Table 3: Long-Term Average and Range of Yields for Barley Standard Varieties Grown at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971-1981; Table 4: Barley Variety Trials Conducted at Delta Junction and Fairbanks During the 1981 Growing Season; Variety Descriptions; Table 5: Barley Varieties Tested at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971-1981 -- Oats Performance Trials: Table 6: Long-Term Average and Range in Yields for Oat Standard Varieties Grown at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971 -1981; Table 7: Oat Variety Trials Conducted at Delta Junction and Fairbanks During the 1981 Growing Season; Variety Descriptions; Table 8: Oat Varieties Tested at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971-1981 -- Spring Wheat Performance Trials: Table 9: Long-Term Average and Range in Yields for Wheat Standard Varieties Grown at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971 -1981; Table 10: Wheat Variety Trials Conducted at Fairbanks and Delta Junction During the 1981 Growing Season; Variety Descriptions; Table 11: Wheat Varieties Tested at Fairbanks and Delta Junction, 1971-1981 -- Plant Disease Survey: Table 12: Summary of Diseases Observed on Barley Varieties under Field Conditions in Delta-Clearwater Area; Table 1 3: Vitavax Seed Treatment and its Effect on the Yield of Barley Varieties -- Diseases Observed on Crops During the 1981 Growing Seaso
