Abstract:

Aphids are common, widespread pests of lettuce crops that can difficult to control using organic methods. Romaine lettuce grown at Warren Wilson College, North Carolina were sprayed with two homemade sprays (garlic and habanero) and the commercial Safer soap to control aphids. A comparison between the sprays show that garlic spray is the most efficient control agent for aphids.

Abstract:

Demand for value-added forest products and an abundance of unused small-diameter timber have created interest in structural uses for small-diameter timber. This study examined indicators of small-diameter loblolly pine tree taper in the Duke Forest on the North Carolina Piedmont, so that managers can more easily evaluate the potential for applications.
