Bachata Rose Growing & Care / 'How To' Articles / Prune Roses / Heirloom Roses - Heir... How to Prune Roses Pruning is about more than just looks. Proper pruning improves the health of your rose bush, prevents disease, and encourages better flowering. There are different pruning strategies for different times of the year, but overall the goal is always the same: to keep the bush vigorous and open, allowing better air circulation through the center of the plant. Air movement dries the leaves, which helps prevent foliar diseases. Fungal diseases like black spot and powdery mildew are more common on plants with congested growth in the middle of the plant. General Pruning Guidelines Whether you are deadheading blooms during the summer or performing your annual spring cutback, it is important to consider how a rose grows. Pruning cuts should always be made just above a bud eye. Examples of Latent Bud or "Bud Eye" and Leaf Scar Examples of Bud Swell and Leaf Scar Roses Respond Well to Pruning What is interesting about roses is their willingness to break bud on old wood.

conurbación Concepto que define el proceso por el cual un área urbana crece a partir de su unión con poblaciones vecinas. El término fue acuñado por el geógrafo Patrick Geddes. Lo usó para explicar la manera en que ciudades en crecimiento terminan por integrar a su red urbana a otros lugares menos poblados. La conurbación es un fenómeno producto de la industrialización y el acelerado crecimiento de la población urbana. En Colombia la miseria rural y los conflictos armados generan grandes desplazamientos de personas hacía las ciudades, este fenómeno crea un gran caos urbano. Podemos usar como ejemplo el caso de Bogotá. Uphill Rush 3 - Juega a juegos en línea gratis en Juegos.com - Cunaguaro ¡Elige tu nombre para nuestro sitio!

Bachata defenition HGIC 2052 Boxwood Diseases & Insect Pests Pesticides updated by Joey Williamson, HGIC Horticulture Extension Agent, Clemson University, 09/15. Revised by Joey Williamson, HGIC Horticulture Extension Agent, Clemson University, 09/15. Originally prepared by Marjan Kluepfel, HGIC Horticulture Information Specialist; J. Printer Friendly Version (PDF) Boxwoods (Buxus spp.) are adapted to a wide range of light conditions, and prefer fertile, moist, well-drained soil, which is amended with organic matter. Diseases Decline: Boxwood decline is a poorly understood complex involving the fungi Paecilomyces, Volutella, Macrophoma and Phytophthora, as well as cold injury, drought stress, and nematodes (microscopic round worms). Root rots by Phytophthora are usually more of a problem in wet soils (see Root Rot section below). Symptoms consist of weak and spindly plants. Prevention & Treatment: A thorough diagnosis of the associated factors is important before corrective action is taken. Insects & Related Pests
History of Bachata, The guitar music of the Dominican Republic Bachata is a popular guitar music from the Dominican Republic. Now overwhelmingly successful among Latinos in the United States, bachata took shape over a period of about forty years in the bars and brothels of Santo Domingo, not gaining acceptance in its native land until about ten years ago. Young groups like Aventura have a similar relationship to original bachata as rock and rollers do to the blues, which has languished in the shadow of its more commercially viable descendant. In fact, the parallel between bachata and the blues is marked. Although bachata developed out of, and bachateros play, a variety of different rhythms, notably including merengue, the music which is specifically called bachata is a variant of the bolero. The genre has passed through several phases since José Manuel Calderón recorded what is generally recognized as the first bachata single (“Borracho de amor” and “Que será de mi (Condena)”) in 1961.
Powdery Mildew on Vegetables Management Guidelines--UC IPM UC IPM Home > Homes, Gardens, Landscapes, and Turf > Powdery Mildew on Vegetables Powdery mildew on melon leaves. Sugar pea foliage damaged by powdery mildew, Erysiphe polygoni. Powdery mildew causes irregular yellow blotches on tomato leaves. Brownish spots on pea pod from powdery mildew infection. Powdery mildew is a common disease on many types of plants. Powdery mildew first appears as white, powdery spots that may form on both surfaces of leaves, on shoots, and sometimes on flowers and fruit. Leaves infected with powdery mildew may gradually turn completely yellow, die, and fall off, which may expose fruit to sunburn. All powdery mildew fungi require living plant tissue to grow. Most powdery mildew fungi grow as thin layers of mycelium (fungal tissue) on the surface of the affected plant part. Powdery mildew spores are carried by wind to new hosts. The best method of control is prevention. Resistant Varieties In some cases, varieties resistant to powdery mildew may be available. Oils

Spider Mites Management Guidelines--UC IPM UC IPM Home > Homes, Gardens, Landscapes, and Turf > Spider Mites Mites are common pests in landscapes and gardens that feed on many fruit trees, vines, berries, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Although related to insects, mites aren’t insects but members of the arachnid class along with spiders and ticks. Spider mites (Figure 1), also called webspinning mites, are the most common mite pests and among the most ubiquitous of all pests in the garden and on the farm. Webspinning spider mites include the Pacific spider mite, twospotted spider mite, strawberry spider mite, and several other species. Most common ones are closely related species in the Tetranychus genus and can’t be reliably distinguished in the field. To the naked eye, spider mites look like tiny, moving dots; however, you can see them easily with a 10X hand lens. Adult mites have eight legs and an oval body with two red eyespots near the head end. Mites cause damage by sucking cell contents from leaves. Monitoring

Leaf Spot Diseases of Shade Trees and Ornamentals Leaf spot is a common descriptive term applied to a number of diseases affecting the foliage of ornamentals and shade trees. The majority of leaf spots are caused by fungi, but some are caused by bacteria. Some insects also cause damage that appears like a leaf spot disease. Leaf spots on trees are very common and generally do not require spraying. Symptoms and Diagnosis The chief symptom of a leaf spot disease is spots on foliage. Life Cycle The organisms that cause leaf spots survive in fallen infected leaves and twigs. Integrated Pest Management Strategies 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The Hypnotizing Beauty Of Russia’s Historic Metro Stations Underneath the streets of Moscow, there’s a whole other world of opulent architecture for visitors to discover: the Moscow Metro. David Burdeny, an architect-turned-photographer from Canada, believes that he was the first photographer ever to be allowed to shoot the stations after-hours, when they were closed to passengers. The Moscow Metro, which opened in 1935, was designed to be one big Soviet propaganda project. The opulent architectural designs were intended to forecast a bright future for the empire, as the guiding design principles were “svet” (light) and “sveltloe budushchee” (bright future). Many of the stations feature busts of Soviet leaders like Lenin or murals with standard Soviet propaganda elements like the Homo Sovieticus. Burdeny’s photo series, “Russia: A Bright Future,” will be on display at the Jennifer Kostuik gallery in Vancouver until Nov. 8th, so if you’re in the area, be sure to swing by!

Why can't we feel Earth's spin? Earth spins on its axis once in every 24-hour day. At Earth’s equator, the speed of Earth’s spin is about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kph). The day-night has carried you around in a grand circle under the stars every day of your life, and yet you don’t feel Earth spinning. Why not? It’s because you and everything else – including Earth’s oceans and atmosphere – are spinning along with the Earth at the same constant speed. Think about riding in a car or flying in a plane. Now think about what would happen if the car or plane wasn’t moving at a constant rate, but instead speeding up and slowing down. If you’re drinking coffee in a steadily moving car or airplane, no problem. Likewise, Earth is moving at a fixed rate, and we’re all moving along with it, and that’s why we don’t feel Earth’s spin. The constant spin of the Earth had our ancestors pretty confused about the true nature of the cosmos. Bottom line: Why don’t we feel Earth rotating, or spinning, on its axis?
