Cooperative Extension Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Programs When we first started this project we identified 27 volunteer water quality monitoring programs sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension in the United States and its territories. Now we are up to 38! We are always looking for programs we have missed and have had help from people across the country to find 'new' programs. Our latest change to this page was to identify which programs are sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension and which are affiliated in other ways such as by providing technical assistance with trainings, educational materials, equipment, or meeting space for volunteer monitoring events. The map above shows where and to what extent Cooperative Extension is involved in volunteer water quality monitoring across the nation. Not shown is an Extension co-sponsored program in American Samoa. The first of these programs began in 1978, the most recent this year. In parentheses next to each program's name is the year that the program began. Program volunteers are monitoring a wide range of aquatic habitats including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, estuaries, and drinking water wells.

FO-06437-GO 1994 To Order North Central Regional Extension Publication 533 Soil Cation Ratios for Crop Production by George Rehm Soil Science Department University of Minnesota For many years, soil testing has been used as a management tool to arrive at fertilizer recommendations that are essential for economic crop production. Two general concepts or philosophies of making fertilizer recommendations evolved as the use of soil testing techniques and procedures were refined and used more and more as a basis for making fertilizer recommendations. The "sufficiency level" approach is built on the concept that there are certain levels of plant nutrients in soil that can be defined as optimum. Below some defined level, crops will respond to the application of a nutrient in question. Likewise, crops will not respond to the addition of the nutrient if the soil test levels are above a defined sufficient level. The "basic cation saturation ratio" (BCSR) approach promotes the concept that maximum yields can only be achieved by creating an ideal ratio of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) in the soil system. This approach is not concerned with recommendations for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and the micronutrients. Today, most public and private soil testing laboratories responsible for making fertilizer recommendations use the "sufficiency level" approach. Others adjust recommendations generated from the "sufficiency level" approach with a consideration for the "basic cation saturation ratios." A more detailed discussion of the BCSR and "sufficiency level" approaches to fertilizer recommendations is provided by Eckert (1987). Recommendations based on the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept are usually quite different from those based on the "sufficiency level" concept. This confuses the grower as well as those who advise the grower. Therefore, this publication addresses the history of the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept and examines its importance and relevancy for crop production. It is not written for the purpose of comparing fertilizer recommendations resulting from the use of either concept.

Whole Document Navigator (Click Here) Top of Document Obtaining Quality Maintaining Quality Footnotes Handling Florida Vegetables - Eggplant Steve Sargent Florida produces about 51% of the commercially grown eggplant in the U.S. This vegetable is available from Florida all months of the year except August and September; annual production comes from approximately 2,250 acres and farm value is about $10 million. Other major U.S. suppliers are California and New Jersey; Mexico is the major supplier of imported eggplant. Although large-fruited, purple eggplant is most prevalent in the market, other types vary from egg-shaped to elongate. White eggplant, considered a specialty item, usually is 6 - 8 inches long and has a green calyx and edible skin. There also are miniatures, such as Baby white and Baby Japanese eggplants, also grown as specialties. The technology for production and handling of eggplants intended for distant markets does not differ from those techniques required for handling when this vegetable is intended for home use, or distribution through local markets. However, eggplants to be shipped to distant markets should be more carefully graded and packed. Obtaining Quality Cultivar Selection - As there are many types of eggplant which mature to a specific size, shape, and color, proper selection of cultivar for the intended market is of paramount importance. Furthermore, selection should also be based on adaptability to the particular growing area. Failure to select a suitable cultivar may lead to reduced yields and poor market acceptance. The following characteristics should be considered in selection of eggplant cultivars for use in Florida: yield/packout, disease resistance, horticultural quality, adaptability to the environment, and market acceptance. Eggplant cultivars recommended for production in Florida are contained in Reference No. 4.

Findings from the past YAR reports suggest that there are a number of questions that are important for understanding project sustainability. These include: Is the project meeting its original goals? Is the project maintaining or expanding rather than reducing efforts to meet its goals? Does the project have secure future funding? There are a number of factors that facilitate program sustainability and are incorporated into this report. These factors include: Program flexibility, Adequate and qualified staff, Collaboration within communities and involvement by the communities, Adequate and long-term funding, and the Ability to demonstrate impact. The central questions addressed in this report are: What is the current status of the 94 Youth at Risk projects four years after funding ended?

HOMEPAGE (MY TOOLSHED) MY GARDEN THE OLD GARDENER Updated February 12, 2004 You are visitor A separate and distinct area of gardening is that of the Master Gardener - the voluntary arm of the Agricultural Extension Services. As a Past President and member of the Harris County Master Gardener Association (Houston, Texas), I am more familiar with the Texas Master Gardener program but Master Gardening is nationwide in scope and on this page I will be attempting to put it all together. I am often asked the question, "Who and what are 'Master Gardeners'"? The following comments, questions and answers are geared primarily to the Texas Master Gardener Program. However, with slight differences, they also apply to all 50 states since all now have "Master Gardener Programs". They also generally apply in the four Canadian provinces with the program except for the sponsorship of Cooperative Extension agencies. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their communities.
