PR-832: 2023 Fruit and Vegetable Crops Research Report

Daniel Becker, Maya Horvath, Rachel Rudolph, Ginny Travis, Dwight Wolfe | December 5, 2023 (New)

This report is a bit different from previous reports in that it represents two years' worth of work. It is also smaller than the reports of previous years. In 2021, a tornado destroyed much of our research center in Princeton, KY, and in 2022, a flood destroyed much of our research center in Quicksand, KY. Although both locations are rebuilding as quickly as they can, research trials have been hindered. We hope to have more trials and more reports in the future. Research was conducted by University of Kentucky faculty, staff, and students from the Department of Horticulture, as well as faculty and staff of Kentucky State University.

NEP-233: Growing Your Own: Composting

Daniel Bowen, Rick Durham, Erika Olsen, Rachel Rudolph | November 16, 2023 (New)

Composting is the controlled breakdown of materials such as leaves, grass clippings, and food scraps, also called organic matter. During composting, tiny microorganisms feed on these leftovers. Once the microorganisms are done eating, compost will be all that remains.

ID-91: An IPM Scouting Guide for Common Problems of Cucurbit Crops in Kentucky

Ric Bessin, Nicole Gauthier, Rachel Rudolph, Shawn Wright | October 20, 2023 (Major Revision)

Long before the term "sustainable" became a household word, farmers were implementing sustainable practices in the form of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. IPM uses a combination of biological, cultural, physical, and chemical methods to reduce and/or manage pest populations. These strategies are used to minimize environmental risks, costs, and health hazards. Pests are managed, to reduce their negative impact on the crop, but they are rarely eliminated entirely.

HENV-714: BMP Maintenance and Operation: Grass Swale

Benjamin Currens, Andrea Drayer, Rick Durham, Brad Lee | October 12, 2023 (New)

Grass swales, or dry swales, are designed to transport stormwater, promote infiltration, and capture sediment during a storm event. Grass swales are turfgrass-planted channels constructed with wide bottoms to encourage infiltration of stormwater into the underlying soil. Vegetation in the channel functions to reduce the speed of stormwater and trap sediment as water is conveyed through the channel. When functioning properly, these swales hold water no longer than six hours after a storm and should remain dry until the next storm event.

HENV-712: BMP Maintenance and Operation: Filter Strip

Benjamin Currens, Andrea Drayer, Rick Durham, Brad Lee | October 12, 2023 (New)

Filter strips are planted and maintained strips of vegetation designed to provide pretreatment of stormwater runoff before it flows into adjacent best management practices (BMPs). Gently sloped, the dense vegetation within the strip reduces the speed of stormwater. This allows for the capture of sediment as stormwater from impervious surfaces passes through the filter strip.

HENV-715: BMP Maintenance and Operation: Detention Basin

Benjamin Currens, Andrea Drayer, Rick Durham, Brad Lee | October 12, 2023 (New)

Detention basins, or dry ponds, are designed to collect water during a storm event and hold it for a certain amount of time, usually 48 hours. This short impoundment of stormwater allows pollutants carried in the stormwater to settle to the bottom of the basin before collected stormwater is released through a slow-release outlet. When functioning properly, these basins should remain dry after the release of water until the next storm event.
