Article Synopsis
- Irrigation of grasses is a major contributor to global water use, highlighting the need for better drought resistance and water conservation strategies.
- Researchers studied four zoysiagrass cultivars (Lobo, Zeon, Empire, Meyer) to understand the mechanisms behind their varying drought resistance levels during controlled drying conditions.
- Lobo and Zeon demonstrated better dehydration tolerance and faster recovery, suggesting that effective drought resistance stems from tolerance rather than simply avoiding dehydration, which could inform future breeding programs and help lawn owners choose more resilient grass varieties.
Female hemp plants are desired in floral hemp operations due to their higher cannabinoid contents. To produce feminized seeds, a critical step of inducing fertile male flowers on female plants is performed. In feminized seed production, freshly mixed STS (silver thiosulfate + sodium thiosulfate) is applied to female plants as an ethylene inhibitor to induce male flowers.

Cultivar selection and harvest timing are important to produce CBD hemp profitably and avoid economic loss resulting from the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration in the crop exceeding regulatory limits.
