At this point, we have been denied our permit because we cannot build the greenhouse to meet "1A" fire standards. We are in the process of trying to obtain a variance to build. We have been told if we can find other institutions in the city which have been granted a variance to build a green- house on or attached to a teaching and/or research building it would greatly help our case. If you know of any institution which obtained such a variance from the city in the last 10 years or so I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Please e-mail me at mmccann@sju.edu.

Dear IPJ101@uriacc.uri.edu I m sure that you know that dormancy is a phenomenon of the buds, and there is no real dormancy of roots. Roots growth is correlated to soil temp, with cvr specific base temp. that under it there is no root growth or activity. however I m having problems with the rooting of zoysia turf called Super El Toro. in many conditions I find that after re-establishment at client location rooting is slow, sometime no rooting at all take place even after several months, without the actual death of the plants. (of course with frequent irrigation). one reason that I have selected as probable is use of herbicide before laying the sod. another is low O2 level in heavy soils due to heavy irrigation after laying the sod. another is low soil temp. but still I can’t put my finger on it and I plan to research the thing next year. I ’ll be happy for any comments hovav ------------------------------------- SPEEDDESHE - KIBUTZ GILGAL - SOD FARM From owner-grasses@net.bio.net Mon Jul 24 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!DNS.NETVISION.NET.IL!deshe From: deshe@DNS.NETVISION.NET.IL (speeddeshe) Newsgroups: bionet.biology.grasses Subject: FW: Re: Turfgrass Date: 25 Jul 1995 06:30:02 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 19 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net ---------------Original Message--------------- I got your message and thank you for your comments. I do not have any experience in warm season grasses. Does the propagation method make any difference? Also, what about phosphorus levels and pH? It could also be a varietal difference if it is only that variety. See this month's agronomy Agronomy Journal, there's an article from some folks down at Texas A&M on rooting differences in Zoyzia cultivars. See how yours rates. Have you tried to see if the time of year has any bearing on rooting? That's all I can thing of at the moment. If any of these suggestions turn out to be of use, let me know!
