ID-93: Midwest Tree Fruit Pest Management Handbook
Ric Bessin, Gerald Brown, John Strang | Oct. 18, 2024 (Minor Revision)
This tree fruit production guide is presented in an ongoing attempt to better serve midwestern fruit growers. Financial constraints make publication of fruit production circulars by each of the North Central states increasingly difficult. By pooling the resources and expertise of the various states, Extension specialists believe that this publication will be of better quality, with information adaptable over a wider range of climates, soil conditions, and orchard management schemes. This cooperation enables the authors to include more information at greater depth that should be of value to you, the grower.
PR-848: 2023 Soybean Production Contest
Carrie Knott, Clint Hardy, Daniel Carpenter, Troy Muse, Danny Adams, Katie Hughes, Jessica James, Bronson Bass, Lance Lockhart, Tim Lax, Andy Mills, Miranda Rudolph, Darrell Simpson, Jay Stone, Jeana Trapp, John David Tucker | Sep. 5, 2024 (New)
In Kentucky, farmers grow soybeans in two common soybean production systems: full season and double crop. Farmers plant full season soybeans in the spring and harvest in fall, so they have harvested one crop in one calendar year. Farmers plant double-crop soybeans after wheat harvest in June. These soybeans are harvested later that fall, making them the second crop harvested in the same calendar year. Both systems are important to the overall production of soybean in Kentucky. To document the agronomic practices utilized by producers, an annual soybean production contest was initiated in Kentucky in 1980.

Plants are essential to life on earth. Either directly or indirectly, they are the primary food source for humans and other animals. Additionally, they provide fuel, replenish the earth's oxygen supply, prevent soil erosion, slow down wind movement, cool the atmosphere, provide wildlife habitat, supply medicinal compounds, and beautify our surroundings.
PPFS-GEN-1: Crown Gall
David Embry, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Oct. 1, 2019 (Minor Revision)
Crown gall can affect a wide range of crops, including woody ornamentals, tree fruits and small fruits. Some vegetable and herbaceous ornamentals are also susceptible but these crops are less commonly affected.
PPFS-FR-T-18: Simplified Backyard Apple Spray Guides
Ric Bessin, John Strang, Nicole Ward Gauthier, Beth Wilson | Jul. 1, 2019 (Minor Revision)
Apple production requires pest and disease management programs for quality fruit. Home orchards are no different. Homeowners, however, are generally more tolerant of aesthetic maladies or minor crop losses than commercial orchardists. Thus, homeowners may choose to limit numbers of insecticide and fungicide sprays.
PPFS-GEN-15: Considerations for Diagnosis of Ornamentals in the Landscape
Amy Aldenderfer, Adam Leonberger, Kimberly Leonberger, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Jul. 1, 2019 (Minor Revision)
Diagnosing plant problems can be challenging. A site visit can provide the information necessary for a complete and accurate diagnosis. However, once on-site, it is important to know how to proceed. The following guidelines are intended to assist in the process of gathering pertinent information and determining a possible cause. Often abiotic conditions such as environment, mechanical damage, or living organisms like insects or wildlife may be to blame. Should the field site diagnosis be inconclusive and samples need to be submitted to the UK Plant Diagnostic Laboratories, the information gathered here can provide valuable supplementary information.
