1995 Report by the Dean for Research 1

To our readers:

There are a lot of important words in vogue today -
change, accountability, diversity, sustainability, quality.
But probably nothing today is more certain and challenging
than change. Agriculture is a dynamic enterprise and it is a
perfect example of change in action and of the impact of
change.
We are creatures of habit, and change makes us
uncomfortable. We like to wear familiar clothes and
comfortable, well-worn shoes. But change is constantly
upon us and those who adapt, survive and prosper; those
who don't, fade away. Charles Darwin distinguished himself
with his sharp insight into the simple relationships among
change, adaptation and survival in the natural world.
To survive today, the agricultural industry must
continue to adapt rapidly; natural resource, environmental
and human resource planners must adapt, and we in the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station (FAES), of the
University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences (IFAS), must adapt in a number of ways. Research
programs must adapt to shifting public priorities regarding the
quantity and quality of our food and natural resources and to
increased competition for production agriculture in the global
marketplace. The latter brings a constant need for more
efficient plants and animals and, hence, pressure for more
research. Newu crops, changes in the importance of existing
crops, a constant influx of new living material into the state,
especially pestiferous insects and diseases, all strongly
influence research direction.
There is change also in the funding of research. With
constant or declining public dollars, IFAS/FAES relies more
heavily on partnerships with producers, industry, non-
government organizations and foundations for cooperative
projects that address our common goals.
IFAS/FAES has been successful in adapting to these
changes. Thanks to committed partnerships, our research
programs remain productive and efficacious. We will
continue to provide solutions to the many challenges facing
our agricultural and natural resource industries.
This leads to the issue of accountability. IFAS/FAES is
accountable to our congressional and state mandates, and
consequently, to the taxpayer. We are also accountable to
our funding partners. By all measures, IFAS/FAES

delivers. With respect to agricultural research, numerous
studies have documented a 30-50 percent return on
investment per year. This research accounts for the remark-
able two-fold productivity increase over the past 30 years
and for the leadership position of the U.S. with respect to
agriculture. U.S. taxpayers enjoy the highest quality, most
inexpensive food in the world. Together with the best
producers in the world, research has enabled this record.
Today, further research is leading to significant reductions in
the impact of agricultural production on the environment.
For example, the intense use in Florida of biocontrol agents
as pesticide replacements is remarkable and due almost
entirely to IFAS/FAES research. But the public expects
specifics, and IFASIFAES will be compiling documentation
soon to meet the requirements of recent state and federal
mandates for accountability.
This Annual Report highlights a few examples
of the scope and impact of IFASIFAES research
programs, a list of faculty by unit, publications, titles
of current research projects and a brief financial
report. Completed research is reported in scientific
journals, bulletins, circulars, books and conference
proceedings. Our scientists also participate exten-
sively in field days, short courses, conferences and
other public informational programs to inform produc-
ers and consumers about recent research findings as
well as to collect information to help set new research
directions.
The end of 1995 marks the completion of almost one
year of my tenure as Director of IFAS/FAES. I have
enjoyed it greatly. The diversity of the industry, the quality
of our natural resource base and the commitment and
cooperation of the people have impressed me immensely.
While we have many challenges, the opportunities are
limitless. I look forward to the future.

Secretion of Novel Proteins from the Ovary of
the Cow: Potential Impact on Ovulation,
Sustaining a Pregnancy and Assuring an
Optimal Outcome at Birth of the Calf
Situation: The -
corpus luteum
(CL) of the ovary
forms in place of
the follicle after
release of the egg
at the time of -
ovulation. This
structure is known
as one of the
fastest growing
tissues of the body
growing from the
size of a pea
immediately after
ovulation to the
size of a strawberry
in a matter of
seven days. It is
one of the biologi-
cal clocks of the
reproductive cycles
that determines
the time of
ovulation, the
receptivity of the
cow to mating, the

the calf. Its effect
on these outcomes is primarily through the secretion of the
hormone progesterone. It is our position that the CL
secretes other factors that are critical to the well being of
this gland as well as to a successful outcome to the above
parameters. Attempts are underway to isolate and identify
those proteins secreted by the CL of the estrous cycle and
pregnancy. Once secreted proteins are identified the next
step will be to determine the regulatory control of their
respective genes and determine the function of the
secreted protein by this gland so critical to a successful
outcome of reproducing the species.
Rationale: The CL is identified with three problem areas
of reproduction of the cow. First, a cow with a CL that
produces lower levels of progesterone has a reduced chance

of a pregnancy that will be sustained. It is estimated that

up to 25 percent of the embryos are lost during the first 30
days of pregnancy. A missed breeding of just 21 days
(length of an estrous cycle) cost the industry on today's
market $25 per cow. Second, precise control of the CL and
thus ovulation is required if Timed Artificial Insemination
(AI) to breed the entire cow herd on a single day is going
to become a reality. AI is such a labor-intensive activity
that less than 3 percent of the beef cows are inseminated.
Yet this is the fastest and most economical approach to
improving the genetics of the cow herd. AI adds $25/cow
bred in value to the calf. Third, in some species the CL is
absolutely required for birth of the young. In the cow it is
not an absolute requirement but without the CL there will
not be a normal birth, i.e., there will be retained placenta,
calving difficulty requiring assistance and death of a large
number of calves. About 6 percent of all calves are born
dead or die shortly after birth. The loss of a calf is a loss to
the industry of about $300 per calf. These numbers can be
extrapolated to a U.S. cow herd that numbers 42.5 million
and a Florida cow herd of 1.3 million (Florida Agricultural
Statistics 1994). Utilizing the powerful techniques of
biotechnology we intend to identify those factors produced
by the CL that affect these reproductive events and
develop management techniques to improve the reproduc-
tive performance of beef cattle.
Impact: Eleven different proteins have been characterized
as secreted by the CL of the cow across the estrous cycle
and pregnancy. Four of these proteins have been identified
in the last 12 months through the use of computer analysis
of their amino acid sequence (dissertation research of
Florence Ndikum-Moffor). Computer analysis has also
given us an indication of the function of these proteins.
Through the use of molecular biology tools incorporating
cDNA probes, the genetic message for these proteins have
been identified in the CL along with information on the
cell type within the gland producing the proteins. Two ot
the proteins are associated with the Low Density Lipopro-
tein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and are
Apolipoproteins E and A-1, respectively. These proteins
are associated with cholesterol delivery to the ovary and
placenta of pregnancy for progesterone synthesis for
sustaining pregnancy. This is the first report of the CL of
any species producing and secreting these proteins. Two
other proteins are the TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and are
believed involved in the rapid development of the CL, the
demise and reorganization of the CL that would allow for
ovulation and very importantly we believe it has a critical
role to play in setting the stage for a successful outcome at
birth of the calf. This is the first report of these proteins
being secreted by the CL of the pregnant cow. Understand-
ing the secretion and the role these proteins of the CL play
also has implication for understanding how the human
body functions during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

MICROBIOLOGY & CELL SCIENCE

Conversion of Agricultural Residues Into Fuel
Ethanol
Situation: The technology is not available to convert
lignocellulosic agricultural residues such as citrus pulp,
stover, stems, hulls, sawdust, pulp and paper sludge,
landfilled paper and yard trash, etc., into fuel ethanol.
Production of liquid fuel from agricultural and waste
materials would reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil,
contribute to the solution of environmental problems,
reduce the trade imbalance, increase revenues to farmers
and provide jobs in a new industry.

Note that all liquid fuel used in Florida represents a trade
deficit either with other states or nations.
Rationale: Although the technology is available for
conversion, the challenges remaining are to improve and
optimize the individual components and to demonstrate
that this technology is cost effective.
Research underway at the Department of Microbiology and
Cell Science in collaboration with USDA laboratories in
Winter Haven, Fla., and Peoria, Ill., is focused on this
problem.
Our work at UF has concentrated on the genetic engineer-
ing of improved organisms to serve at the biocatalyst, and
on generic process development. R.J. Bothast and his
associates at the USDA in Peoria focus on the conversion
of corn fibers and corn residues; Karel Grohmann at the
UJSD)A Citrus Laboratory at Winter Haven and his
associates are focussing on the conversion of citrus pulp to
fuel ethanol as an alternative to animal feed.
Impact: Half of the world's annual petroleum production
is consumed in the United States, over half of which is
used as automotive fuels. Over half of the petroleum used
in the U.S. is imported each year, at a cost of equivalent to
half of the annual U.S. trade deficit. At least half of this
automotive fuel could be replaced by fuel ethanol produced
within the U.S. using waste materials and undervalued
agricultural residues as feedstocks. Implementation of this
technology would increase revenues to farmers, add jobs
and decrease our trade imbalance.
Collaborators: Active collaborations are continuing with
R. J. Bothast and R. B. Hespell, USDA-ARS, National
Center for Agricultural Utilization Research. Additional
collaborations are continuing with Karel Grohmann, head
of the USDA-ARS U. S. Citrus and Subtropical Products
Laboratory in Winter Haven.

search Initiative grant under the direction of Jeff Conrad,

4 Selected Research Accomplishments

DAIRY AND POULTRY SCIENCES

Implementation of A Timed Insemination
Program in Lactating Dairy Cows of Florida
Situation: Critical to the success of the dairy industry
nationwide is the ability to establish pregnancy in lactating
dairy cows. With intense genetic selection and optimized
management, milk production of dairy cows has increased.
Herd size has also increased and this is most evident in
Florida in which mean herd size is 485 cows. To optimize
herd performance, it is imperative that lactating dairy cows
produce a calf every 13 to 14 months. This is a physiologi-
cal and management challenge in high-producing dairy
cows in which artificial insemination is practiced. Nation-
wide, approximately 50 percent of heats are not detected
and this represents missed opportunities to establish a new
pregnancy by artificial insemination. Missed heats are not
due solely to mismanagement by the dairy producer.
Intensity of behavior heat is reduced in high-producing
cows whose metabolic hormonal status does not necessarily
optimize ovarian follicular development. Proper develop-
ment of a follicle is responsible for induction of estrus and
producing the hormonal conditions that will allow the
initiation and maintenance of pregnancy. These physi-
ological and management constraints are further enhanced
during the seasonal periods of elevated temperature and
humidity in Florida. Improved reproductive performance
and management has been deemed as one of the most
important components to increase net income on
commercial dairies.
Rationale: The complexity of improving reproductive
performance and management led to the need of integrat-
ing the disciplines of reproduction, nutrition, management
and veterinary herd health. Thus, support dollars have
come from interdisciplinary efforts involving state funding
but also extramural funding from the USDA, the Florida
dairy industry itself and commercial companies involved
with the dairy industry. The management programs that
have been implemented involved technology transfer of
basic reproductive and nutritional control systems on to
their implementation with dairy farms that can directly
apply the technology.
An ovarian control system has been developed that
permits the programmed recruitment of an ovulatory
follicle after the injection of a commercially available
hormone called GnRH, Gonadotrophin Releasing Hor-
mone. On day seven after injection of GnRH, cows are
injected with Prostaglandin (PG) 2 (PGF2; Lutalyse) to
regress the corpus luteum that permits final maturation of
the ovulatory follicle. On day nine, cows are injected again
with GnRH that causes the ovulatory follicle to ovulate 30

hours later. All cows are artificially inseminated at 15

hours after the injection of PGF2 which is also 15 hours
before ovulation. This permits the sperm to develop the
capacity to fertilize the egg. This system eliminates the
need for heat detection since insemination is implemented
at a fixed time. The timing of injections is very conducive
to farm management allowing the system to be imple-
mented in groups of animals on a weekly basis. Research
trials completed on a commercial dairy farm indicate that
pregnancy rates are comparable to what is achieved in
control cows (receiving GnRH and PGF2 seven days apart,
and inseminated at detected heat). The timed Al program
gave consistent pregnancy rates from month to month
(January to May) and higher levels during the warmer
months of April and May compared to the control group.
Undoubtedly, these systems offer a distinct advantage over
a non-programmed system that would normally be prac-
ticed on the farm. These reproductive management systems
have been implemented with nutritional targeted programs
of fat feeding to stimulate ovarian follicular activity.
Impact: Due to reductions in days to first insemination
and days to conception, there is a potential savings of
approximately $90 per cow. Programmed insemination of
cows will also permit a greater number of cows to be
inseminated prior to the more difficult heat stress season
when embryonic deaths are high. The programmed
breeding system also permits a greater opportunity to
predict herd production and performance to optimize
overall profit of the farm in the future. Since a large
amount of the reproductive decisions and tasks are
managed at specific times during the week, it should permit
a reduction in labor costs. The overall economic impact of
the program is being evaluated currently.

ENTOMOLOGY AND
NEMATOLOGY

Behavioral Modification of the Subterranean
Termite, Reticulotermis flavipes: Induction of
Hypersensitivity to Microbial Control Agents
Situation: The subterranean termite, Reticulotermis
flavipes, is a major urban insect pest in the temperate and
subtropical regions. At present, management of this insect
pest requires chemical insecticide applications. To date,
attempts to develop alternative controls such as biological
control agents have been unsuccessful. In recent years, a
new class of insecticidal nitroguanidine compounds have
been developed by Bayer Corp. In 1993, our laboratory
initiated a collaborative project with Bayer to research the
direct and indirect effects of nitroguanidine compounds on
insects (including R. flavipes).

A
Professor Drion Boucias prepares a culture in his laboratory at
the UF/IFAS Entomology and Nematology Department.

Rationale: In the early 1990s the Bayer research team
headed by W. Zeck (Vero Beach facility) discovered that
exposure to sublethal dosages of nitroguanidine
imidocloprid caused termites to rapidly succumb to various
diseases. Our laboratory, specializing in insect pathogens,
received support from Bayer to examine the effects of
imidocloprid on termite biology. Specific objectives
included: (1) confirmation of the synergistic activity
induced by imidocloprid; (2) identification of the resistant
mechanisms employed by naive termites against invasive
pathogens; and (3) definition of how imidocloprid dis-
rupted the termites defense against entomopathogens.
Impact: Our research determined that certain neurotoxins
such as imidocloprid could, at extremely low concentra-
tions, modulate insect behavior. The R. flavipes, an insect
highly resistant to pathogens, becomes highly susceptible
to various microbial agents upon exposure to sublethal
concentrations of imidocloprid. These suggest the poten-
tial compatibility of a chemical stressor and
entomopathogens. Our research also has demonstrated that
the termites, unlike many insects, rely upon their social
behavior, (grooming, tunnel construction) for protection
against disease attack. These behaviors in combination
with gut microflora confer a high degree of disease resis-
tance upon these social insects. Exposure to low dosages of
imidocloprid disrupts these social interactions. The
termites, acting independent of the colony, quickly
succumb to either introduced or resident diseases. In
summary, our research on imidocloprid-termite-pathogen
interaction demonstrates that social insects possess a
potent behavioral resistance to disease. Successful imple-
mentation of the selective microbial control agents can be
greatly enhanced by behavior-modifying agents. Lastly,
insecticides such as imidocloprid have been clearly shown
to dramatically impact insect populations at sublethal
concentrations.

develop the
needed data to obtain EPA approval for use of this
compound in Florida's tropical fish industry.
Rationale: Research support in the amount of $20,000
was provided by the Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services to investigate the efficacy and safety
of Bayluscide (an EPA-labeled molluscicide) for use in
Florida's ornamental fish industry. An additional $2,000
was provided by the Florida Tropical Fish Farmers Associa-
tion to hire a consultant to assist with the preparation of
the packet required for EPA approval of this product in
Florida. All field work was done in cooperation with
Ekk-Will Waterlife Resources (Gibsonton), which donated
personnel, pond space and many man-hours to the project.
Estimated in-kind services exceeded $10,000.

Impact: Bayluscide was approved for use in Florida's
ornamental fish industry in 1994, and imported from
Puerto Rico in 1995. Early reports from producers indicate
that the product is cost-effective and producers are pleased
with the results of its use. Potential economic impact to
Florida growers is $3.5 million annually.

FOOD SCIENCE AND HUMAN
NUTRITION

Folate Requirements of Pregnant Women
Situation: This
research is
designed to
provide more
definitive data
related to how
much of the
water-soluble
vitamin, folate.J
or folic acid, is
required bv
pregnant women.
The most concen-
trated food sources i
of the vitamin
include those that
Florida is well-
known for, orange Professor Lynn Bailey dispenses a tolic
acid supplement for one of her research
juice and green subjects at the UF/IFAS Food Science
leafy vegetables. and Human Nutrition Department.
Folate is required
for cells to divide since DNA synthesis utilizes folate-
dependent enzymes. Rapidly dividing cells also have a very
high requirement for the vitamin since each cell division is
folate-dependent. A folate deficiency is associated with
megaloblastic anemia, low-birthweight infants, and specific
types of birth defects called neural tube defects. Adequate
amounts of folate are critical in terms of ensuring normal
fetal growth and development. There is currently a great
deal of uncertainty regarding the quantity of folate that
pregnant women should be advised to consume. This
research study is the first controlled metabolic study in
pregnant women designed to provide a basis for the
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folate.
The objective of the study is to determine folate require-
ments by assessing changes in blood and urine folate levels
during a 12-week period of gestation. The most recently
published RDA set by the National Academy of Sciences
is 400 micrograms per day for the pregnant woman. The
previous RDA was 800 micrograms and is the amount
present in some prenatal supplements. The study groups
include two groups of pregnant women and two groups of
non-pregnant controls, all of whom consume either 400 or
800 micrograms of folate per day. Expectant mothers begin
the study at week 14 of gestation and continue through
week 25. By focusing of the second trimester, it will be
possible to assess how much of the vitamin is being stored,

utilized and excreted during this time of rapid cell growth
when the demands for folate may be the highest.
Rationale: The experiment requires subjects to come to
the metabolic facility for all meals seven days per week for
12 weeks. All fo-o is analyzed in the laboratory and daily
intakes of all nutrients are estimated. Folate is provided in
a form that has been labeled with the stable isotope
deuterium. The experimental protocol is labor intensive
and requires an enormous staff and resources to prepare
and analyze the controlled metabolic diets, to synthesize
the deuterium-labeled folic acid, and to analyze all blood
and urine samples. Each subject is paid a stipend ($1,200)
to participate in the study.
Impact: It is expected that recommendations for folate
intake for pregnant women will be revised and that
nutritionists and health care providers can recommend
either 400 or 800 micrograms per day with a better
understanding of how this will impact folate status during
pregnancy. It will provide nutritionists with much needed
information on how to design diets for pregnant women.
For example, if it is determined that the RDA should be
revised to 800 micrograms per day instead of 400 micro-
grams, dietary recommendations will need to be formulated
with this in mind. Since the majority of the population
consumes less than the current RDA (400 micrograms), an
increase will mean a greater emphasis on folate-dense foods
such as orange juice and green leafy vegetables.
A decision to increase the RDA to 800 micrograms would
significantly impact the following: (1) prenatal folate
recommendations to ensure optimal status; (2) establishing
standards for nutrition education programs; (3) planning
and evaluating adequate diets for pregnant population
groups; and (4) marketing food products. The impact of
this change may be a significant increase in orange juice
consumption in the U.S. because orange juice is one of the
most concentrated sources of folate and is the No. 1
contributor of folate to the diet.
A revised recommendation that all pregnant women
should double their folate intake could have a significant
impact on Florida's economy by increasing the sale of
orange juice. Efforts to increase consumer awareness of
orange juice as a source of folate could be coupled with
recommendations to increase intake.

Non-College-Bound Youth: Their Background
Characteristics and Labor Force Experiences
Situation: Evidence appears to suggest that approximately
50 percent of U.S. youth do not go to college upon
completing high school. In years past, this fact raised little
concern given that non-college bound youth could move
into the labor force by securing jobs in the goods-produc-
ing sector of the economy. In many respects, these jobs
paid decent wages for unskilled or semi-skilled laborers.
However, the situation has shifted dramatically over the
last two decades. The industrial and occupational distribu-
tion of U.S. employment has moved in the direction of
favoring better-educated over less-educated workers.
Three key forces serving as the underpinnings of this
expanded need for more educated workers are the global-
ization of our nation's economy, the introduction of new
sophisticated computer technologies, and enhancements in
the knowledge-intensive, problem-solving capability
needed by workers. These changed circumstances have led
to major declines in jobs tied to the goods-producing
industries of the U.S. a sector which has experienced
jobs losses of about 1.3 million in manufacturing alone
since 1989. In its place have come a host of new jobs in the
service and retail sectors for non-college bound youth, but
at wage rates well below those paid by manufacturing-based
firms. Such structural shifts have had staggering conse-
quences for young workers. In fact, one researcher found
that the proportion of 18-year-olds working full-time and
making low wages soared from 22.9 percent in 1979 to 43.4
percent in 1990.

8 Selected Research Accomplishments

It is this increasing concern with the plight of young
people with no plans to enter college that led the William
T. Grant Foundation Commission on Work, Family and
Citizenship to label these individuals "the forgotten half."
These individuals face serious barriers in realizing a smooth
transition from school to work and have few resources
which can be tapped to assist them in their entrance into
the work force.
Rationale: Discussion currently taking place at the
national and state level concerns the importance of
addressing the human capital resource problems of our
nation and state. The intent is to focus attention on the
needs that might exist in realizing a labor force that is
adequately educated and trained to compete effectively in
today's global economy. But, a key issue which has been
given less serious treatment has been the fate of non-
college-bound high school graduates who have entered the
labor force. Who are these non-college bound youth and
how have they fared in the local labor market? Given their
limited education and undeveloped skills, have they been
relegated to jobs situated in the least favored sectors of the
economy? And, has their access to better jobs been shaped
by factors such as gender, race/ethnicity, or place of
residence? These are the set of questions that serve as the
central focus of this research.
Why is this research important? From the perspective of
social science researchers and policy analysts, most non-
college bound youth suffer from limited job options, poor
wages, less than full-time work, and have few opportunities
for advancement once in the labor force. Furthermore,
they suggest that these individuals suffer prolonged periods
of unemployment, particularly minority youth or those
who live in the central cities or rural areas of the country.
Unfortunately, these assertions rarely are based on any
rigorous analysis and as such, remain untested. The
research activities of this unit are designed to give atten-
tion to the labor force experiences of non-college bound
youth and to provide a scientific foundation for guiding the
school-to-work transition policies or programs of federal
and state governmental agencies.
Impact: Key research findings include: Most non-college-
bound youth are raised in a home environment where
parental education is low. Furthermore, approximately 45
percent of these youth have four or more family siblings;
only 3.1 percent have no siblings at all. From the stand-
point of regional location, over 43 percent of non-college-
bound youth are residents of the U.S. South.
Unlike what some have suggested, non-college-bound
youth do not go from one job to the next in the early years
after high school, but tend to be employed in only one or
t'wo jobs.

Approximately nine of every 10 jobs held by non-college-
bound youth are characterized as low wage, dead-end jobs
which only a few are able to escape even after four years in
the labor market.
African-Americans appear to suffer greater obstacles in
terms of gaining access to better paying jobs over time.
Only about 28 percent were able to move into a more
favorable job position after two years, a rate that is 50
percent lower than that for Hispanics or whites.
Over 43 percent of non-college-bound youth from rural/
farm communities and urban areas wind up employed in
the least attractive jobs available, those paying low wages
and that offer workers few chances for advancement.
These findings can have significant importance in guiding
programs and policies associated with human capital
development efforts, both nationally and in Florida. Both
federal education goals (i.e., Goals 2000) and Florida
education goals (i.e., Blueprint 2000) specify as a key
objective the preparing of high school graduates for post-
secondary employment. This research offers a scientifically
sound basis for determining the difficulties that await high
school graduates when they enter the labor force. More
importantly, it provides a profile of those students who are
most likely to be non-college bound and the geographic
areas in which they are most likely to reside (i.e., rural
areas and urban cities). Such data provides a basis for
targeting school-to-work transition policies and programs
to areas and population groups that are likely to be in
greatest need for these type of interventions.
Collaborators: This research is being carried out in
collaboration with colleagues associated with the Florida
Inter-University Center for Child and Family Studies. This
center brings together multi-disciplinary faculty from UF,
Florida A&M University, Florida State University, and the
University of South Florida in research, education, policy,
and service activities to improve the well-being of families
and children in Florida and the nation.
In addition, the findings associated with this line of
research are guiding the work of the Florida Cooperative
Extension Service's state major program titled: Preparing
Youth for the World Work. This educational program is
designed to help youth become more aware of the chang-
ing workplace, the skills required for new jobs in the 21st
century, and the role of continuing education in relation
to the workplace. Members of this major state program
are drawn from several IFAS social science departments
(i.e., 4-H Youth Development, Home Economics, and
Agricultural Education and Communications), from the

Reducing Bruising During Handling and
Packing of Bell Peppers in Florida
Situation: Florida is the leading U.S. producer of bell
peppers destined for fresh market, with annual farm-gate
returns in excess of $170 million. Bell peppers are produced
from October through June in all regions of the state.
Since bell peppers are botanically a hollow fruit, they are
quite sensitive to bruises, and although a small amount is
field packed, the majority of these peppers are transported
to packinghouses for grading and packing operations. The
increased number of handling steps and transfers required
for mechanized handling increases the potential for
bruising and poor quality upon arrival at receivers.
Rationale: A series of projects have been completed
related to reduction of bell pepper bruising during commer-
cial handling operations. These include: quantification of
bruising on typical bell pepper packing lines; identification
of sources of bruising during handling and packing;
determination of the effects of pulp temperature on
sensitivity to bruising; development of a standardized
shipping container designed for better handling and
cooling.
Impact: As a result of these projects, several changes have
been implemented by Florida packer/shippers. Many
companies have made modifications to packing lines in

order to reduce bruising. One packing line manufacturer
has added cushioning in key areas of the packing equip-
ment which were previously abusive to the product.
Several packers have incorporated several concepts of the
standardized shipping container to permit more thorough
cooling and facilitate the change from manual loading of
refrigerated trailers at shipping point to palletization on
industry-standard pallets. In the face of increased competi-
tion from Mexico and other production areas, buyers
should opt for Florida-grown produce as quality and value
improve.

I Icrbicide leaching not only can cause groundwater

herbicides by decreasing available herbicide in upper soil

leached herbicides tend to degrade more slowly because of
less microbial activity and have greater potential to

contaminate the environment than herbicides remained in
the upper soil layers.
Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in Florida.
There is a serious need to restrict the downward movement
of pesticides in the soil without sacrificing pesticidal
benefit to agriculture. Megh Singh, professor of weed
science, has initiated comprehensive research to use
adjuvants to reduce herbicide leaching by restricting the
movement of citrus herbicides in soils and by increasing
efficacy of soil-applied herbicides and decreasing applica-
tion rate and leaching potentials of the herbicides.
Rationale: Many adjuvants have been found to affect
herbicide leaching. Both natural and synthetic adjuvants
have been tested to reduce herbicide leaching. Disadvan-
tages to the use of naturally occurring additives, such as
starch, are the lack of reproducible product specifications
and bio-erosion of the matrix in the soil, often resulting in
inconsistent results. In contrast, better specifications can
be achieved easily with synthetic adjuvants. It is also
possible to synthesize an adjuvant to fit into a specific
situation.
Reducing Leaching of Citrus Herbicides With Polymers-
Synthetic polymers were found to reduce the leaching of
some herbicides up to 25 percent. Polymers inhibiting
herbicide leaching all have an anchoring group, which can
bind to the negatively charged silicates in the soil, and a
balanced hydrophobic-hydrophilic group which will
interact with herbicides. Professor Singh has been testing
over 30 polymers for their effect on several most commonly
used citrus herbicides and found some of them were very
effective in reducing herbicide leaching.
Reducing Leaching of Citrus Herbicides by Catatonic
Surfactants-Certain cationic surfactants were also found
to reduce or prevent the leaching of some herbicides in
soils. The reduction of herbicide leaching by cationic
surfactants was attributed to an increase in absorption of
the herbicide onto the soil. It has been suggested that
cationic surfactants can replace metals on the mineral
surface exchange complex due to ionic attraction of
surfactants by soil particles. The mineral surface of the soil
is transformed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by the
presence of the hydrocarbon moiety of the sorbed surfac-
tant cations. The result can be a great increase in mineral
surface sorptivity for neutral organic compounds and a
decrease in herbicide mobility. Several families of cationic
surfactants are tested by Professor Singh for their potential
solution to the problem of herbicide leaching.
Reducing Leaching of Citrus Herbicides by Improving
Herbicide Efficacy Using Spray Adjuvants-Little atten-
tion has been given to the approach of decreasing herbi-

cide leaching through reducing herbicide input of available
herbicides in soils. The reduction can be achieved by
enhancing efficacy of the herbicides. Adjuvants have been
demonstrated to enhance efficacy of foliar-applied herbi-
cides by tank mixing, spraying deposition, retention, foliar
uptake and translocation in plants. Although foliar and
soil-applied herbicides are uptaken by plants through
different routes, interactions among herbicides, adjuvants
and plants occur in both cases. Therefore, weed control
efficacy of soil-applied herbicides may be improved by
adjuvants. The enhanced efficacy and reduced application
rate not only reduce the herbicide leaching potential but
also decrease weed control cost.
Impact: The studies will lead to reduction of groundwater
contamination by herbicides. The use of polymers and
cationic surfactants will retain the herbicides in the topsoil
and prevent the chemicals then from moving into the
groundwater. Growers will benefit directly from this study
since farm community is more dependent on groundwater
than others. Increased herbicide efficacy by adjuvants will
make it possible to reduce application rate of herbicide and
therefore the possibility of herbicide leaching to the
groundwater.
The second major benefit of this research will be the
reduction in cost to the growers. By keeping the herbicides
in the upper level of soil, polymers can improve the
efficacy of herbicides. Improved efficacy makes it possible
to reduce rate and number of herbicide applications.
Herbicides are expensive chemicals, yet weed control is
essential. Retention of herbicides in the soil by polymers,
therefore lowers the cost of weed control. Pesticide usage
annually on citrus in the U.S. is 34 million pounds and on
all crops in Florida is 55 million pounds. Reducing herbi-
cide leaching and increasing herbicide efficacy will have
tremendous economic and environmental benefits.
Retaining herbicides in the plant root zone by polymers
will not only reduce herbicide leaching and residues in
groundwater but also decrease the total residue level of
herbicide in the soil. This is because retained herbicide
would be degraded faster in the top soil where activity of
soil microorganisms is higher than in the subsoil.
Additionally, the information generated from this project
may be useful to regulatory agencies, such as DER,
FDACS, and EPA to develop the guidelines for proper
management of herbicides to minimize the risk of
groundwater contamination.

Herbicides That Act By Energy-Drain
Mechanisms
Situation: The development of new herbicidal agents is
an ongoing agricultural priority because of the ability of
plant organisms to develop resistance mechanisms and
because of increased concerns for environmental conse-
quences associated with the use of herbicidal agents. New
approaches are needed which depend upon a rational basis
for the design of effective agents which will not endanger
beneficial microorganisms in the environment, or man and
other animals.
Rationale: The biochemical pathway which produces the
three aromatic amino acids, a number of essential vita-
mins, and a variety of specialized plant compounds such as
lignin is an ideal target system for the design of new
herbicidal agents. The absence of this pathway in man and
animals means that appropriate enzyme targets of plants
can be attacked with minimal risk. Established differences
in the pathway steps and the regulation of these steps
between higher plants and microorganisms provides a basis
for accomplishing herbicidal effects but not antimicrobial
effects.
The aromatic pathway functions with a heavy input of
energy-rich metabolites such as adenosine triphosphate
and phosphoenolpyruvate, and the controlled utilization
of these metabolites is essential to overall biochemical
efficiency. In higher plants, the attack of a number of
mid-pathway enzymes has the potential to disrupt normal
circuits of feedback inhibition, thereby triggering a massive
energy drain associated with unrestrained entry of high-
energy metabolites into the pathway.
The mid-pathway attack of other pathways such as ones for
histidine and purine biosynthesis are also likely to create
very substantial energy-drain consequences. This suggests
that energy-drain herbicides which attack the aromatic
pathway might function synergistically in combination
with energy-drain herbicides which attack other pathways.
It is anticipated that the multiple series of events triggered
during energy drain would minimize the number of
resistance mutations that might occur.
Impact: An effective new herbicide has the potential to
be of worldwide economic value, as illustrated by N-
phosphonomethylglycine (Monsanto's Roundup). In
addition, modern molecular-genetic methodology has led
to feasible prospects for introducing engineered herbicide-
resistance genes into crop plants, thus allowing direct
exposure of crop plants to weed-killing agents.

Professor Roy Jensen works in his laboratory at the UF/IFAS
Microbiology and Cell Science Department.

In addition, variations of the same energy-drain strategy
can be applied to create antimicrobial compounds which
are selectively effective against phytopathogenic bacteria,
but not toxic to plants.
Collaborators: DOE has provided continuous research
support since 1978 for basic studies of the enzymological
characteristics of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in
higher plants. This has provided a detailed basis for
recognition of unique enzyme targets that can be selected
for attack in higher plants. This work has been done in a
context of comparative enzymological work with both
prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. The overall
program of basic comparative enzymology has been
supported by more than $6 million of grant funds from the
NIH, the DOE, the NSF, the NASA, the ONR and the
USDA.
We have collaborated with MetaGene Corp. at Progress
Park (Alachua) (supported by several Small Business
Innovative Research grants to R.S. Fischer) to pursue the
commercial development of our approach for development
of new antimicrobial compounds.

Improved Varieties of Pine Trees for Florida's
Forests
Situation: Approximately 50 percent of Florida's land
mass is forested and of these 16 million acres of forest
lands, approximately 200,000 acres are harvested and
reforested each year. Small private landowners and forest
industry plant nearly 150 million pine seedlings each year

and need improved varieties for reforestation that grow
faster and are more disease resistant.
The Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Cooperative
(CFGRP) is a university-industry cooperative composed of
12 companies and agencies working together to develop
genetically improved pine varieties for Florida and the
lower coastal plain regions of Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. Since 1950, cooperating members have worked
with IFAS scientists to understand and improve the
genetic structure of commercially important pine species.
Today's varieties yield 30 to 40 percent more volume when
harvested and are more disease resistant than their
unimproved predecessors.
Rationale: The cooperative nature of the research and
development activities of the CFGRP ensures: (1) High
quality, well-directed projects that must be approved by all
members; (2) Sustained productivity through economic
cycles due to collective commitments; (3) High leveraging
of research dollars invested because participating members
contribute money, land, equipment, personnel and
scientific expertise to the overall effort; and (4) Immediate
application of research results to a large land base.
Impact: Approximately 95 percent of all timberlands
reforested in Florida use genetically improved varieties
developed through the CFGRP breeding program. Assum-
ing 200,000 acres are planted each year, the annual future
value of the incremental wood harvested through use of
these varieties in the State of Florida is approximately $72
million (assuming each newly planted acre is harvested
in 25 years with an incremental yield due to genetic

improvement of 30 percent or nine cords and a real
stumpage value of $40 per cord). Discounting this future
value back to 1995 dollars (at a 6 percent real discount
rate), the annual value of this program to the State of
Florida is approximately $17 million.

Fertilization and Nutrition of Southern Pines
Situation: Forestry is a vital part of the economy in
Florida and the Southern United States. Recent estimates
for the South indicate that there are over 28 million acres
of forest land, and about one-third of this total is covered
by pine types. Population increases and changing land-use
patterns have reduced timberlands in this region b. about
2.5 million acres since the 1960s. Such trends suggest that
productivity on remaining timberlands must increase it
future demands for forest products are to be met. One ot
the single most important factors regulating productivity of
pine stands in Florida and the southeastern lower Coastal
Plain is soil nutrient availability. Silvicultural activities
such as forest fertilization provide the means for increasing
fiber yields and sustaining high levels of forest productivity.

Selected Research Accomplishments

The Cooperative Research in Forest Fertilization (CRIFF)
program is a university-industry research effort composed
of 10 forest companies working collectively with UF/IFAS
scientists. The cooperative was initiated in 1967, with the
overall research goal of assisting forest managers and non-
industrial private land owners in making the most effective
use of their lands and soil resources for wood production
purposes.
Rationale: Research support has been utilized to help
establish, maintain, and analyze over .300 experiments on
cooperator's lands throughout Florida and the Coastal
Plain of the southeastern United States. These experi-
ments have been designed to relate tree growth responses
from forest fertilization and other silvicultural activities to
soil and stand properties. Information gained through this
research has played a critical role in providing land
managers with operational recommendations for forest soil
management, with emphasis on forest fertilization and tree
nutrition.
Impact: Research results have demonstrated that silvicul-
tural practices such as forest fertilization and competition
control can result in sizeable gains (15-50 percent) in
forest productivity. Of the 16 million acres of forest land in
Florida, approximately 4 million acres have been estab-
lished in pine plantations. A single mid-rotation applica-
tion of fertilizers would be expected to produce about four
cords per acre more wood than a non-fertilized plantation
at the end of a 25-year rotation. Assuming that about one
third of these pine plantations were established on nutrient
deficient sites and that the stumpage value of wood was
$40 per cord, the potential annual value of this research
program to the State of Florida is about $8.5 million.
Given the worldwide importance of wood fiber, results
from these research efforts have direct benefits to society,
especially as related to increasing economic returns from
investments in forest management, and the development
of environmentally sound forest management practices
used to increase forest productivity on a declining land
base.

2) This study is addressing the question of how does the

when these areas are harvested for commercial
products.
3) This study is addressing the question of how long does
it take for the patterns of water flow and water table
fluctuation to rebound to pre-harvest levels.

water tables will be lowered with increased manage-
ment of newly planted forest stands.
Rationale: Commercial forestry is a large industry in
Northern Florida. The large block ownership, in turn,
helps preserve forest ecosystems in this state and has the
potential to be stewards for Florida's waters and wildlife.
Much of lands managed for commercial forests has been
considered wetlands by many, yet it has not been clear how
much of area would really make the regulatory wetlands
designation. Answers to the question listed above will

determine the classification of landscapes that support
commercial forestry, will determine the effect commercial
forestry has on one component of the state's water re-
sources, and will determine the time frame that changes
caused by harvesting will be sustained. Such studies require
the cooperation of forest industry and the universities of
the state. The industries supply the land and the manage-
ment of the land while the universities supply the expertise
to evaluate and solve the problems.
Impact: Social impact: The large block ownership of
much of the states commercial forest land provides a
significant input to the job market of communities in
North Florida. A loss or change in the industry due to
management effects will decrease or change the jobs and
subsequently change the social structure of many smaller
towns in the state. Likewise, the paper mills in many of
our cities, like Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach depend
on the production of pulp from these lands. A change in
production due to limitations on harvesting will change
the job markets and social structures of areas within these
cities.
Economic impact: The value of standing timber cut in the
southern United States was over $3 billion in 1984 and
has increased since then. The value added by processing
increased the roundtimber value to $6.1 billion in 1984.
This was two-fold the value of soybeans and cotton and
threefold the value of tobacco, wheat or corn. If manage-
ment practices, and hence productivity, were to change
due to the wetlands designation of the landscape or the
on-site and off-site impacts of management then it could
change this economic picture substantially. The result
would depend on the effect changes had on (1) the level of
productivity and (2) the economic inputs to achieve a
level of productivity.

Agricultural Area. The integrity of these ecosystems is
threatened by complex water management problems
resulting from the demands by agriculture and urban users,
which often conflict with optimal management and
conservation of natural resources.
Rationale: Wetlands and lakes serve as sinks, sources and
transformers of nutrients and other chemical contami-
nants, and as such they can have a significant impact on
water quality. The primary driver of these processes is the
ecosystem biogeochemistry, which includes chemical,
biological and physical processes in sediment/soil and
water column. Phosphorus is one of the key nutrients
regulating the eutrophication of these ecosystems; thus
much of the research effort was focused on basic under-
standing of the phosphorus biogeochemistry as related to
water quality. Research and education in this area is
critical in developing optimal management strategies to
protect these natural resources.
Impact: Key research issues addressed include: (1)
nutrient loading impact on wetlands and streams in the
Lake Okeechobee Basin; (2) internal nutrient cycling and
loading in Lake Apopka and Lake Okeechobee; (3)
historical nutrient loading impacts in the Everglades; and
(4) long-term nutrient retention capacity of constructed
and natural wetlands. Results obtained from these studies

ing policy and regulation, and developing management
strategies to protect these natural resources. Historical

A Better Understanding of the Metabolic and
Reproductive Changes That Occur in Dairy
Cows Having Calving-Related Disorders Has
Contributed to a Treatment Strategy That
Improves Fertility in Cows Having
Complications at Calving
Situation: Calving-related disorders in dairy cows such as
milk fever and retained placenta cause significant mon-
etary losses to dairy producers in Florida. These hypocalce-
mic-related disorders prolong the period of uterine involu-
tion and postpartum anestrus by predisposing the cows to
metritis. Cows affected with metritis have been docu-
mented to produce less milk and have impaired fertility.
Rationale: In an experiment conducted by Carlos Risco,
Maarten I)rost of UF's College of Veterinary Medicine,
and William Thatcher of UF's College of Agriculture,
Department of Dairy Science, the relationship between
prostaglandin F2 alpha (a product of metritis) and calcium
activity in dairy cows affected with retained placenta and

activity. Results obtained from this experiment demon-

elevated serum prostaglandin levels and normal uterine
involution. This information suggests that the common
practice of exogenous prostaglandin treatment soon after
calving in cows with retained placenta in an attempt to
promote uterine involution should be reconsidered, and
that calcium treatment may be warranted in these cows.
This study also demonstrated that cows with milk fever
have delayed uterine involution and ovarian activity post
partum associated with a greater loss of body condition.
During the past five years there has been an increased use
of gonadorelin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglan-
din F2 alpha (PGF) by veterinarians in an attempt to
restore fertility in dairy cows having metritis as a result of
dystocia and retained placenta occurring at calving.
However, results from these type of studies have been
conflicting. Carlos Risco and Louis Archbald of UF's
College of Veterinary Medicine examined the use of
GnRH and PGF in dairy cows with postpartum metritis
related to dystocia and retained placenta. The study was
unique because of the large number of cows used and a
clearer definition of metritis. Results from this study
indicate that dystocia and retained placenta are more
important factors in determining subsequent fertility than
uterine condition early post partum. In addition, the used
treatment of GnRH around day 14 post partum does not
help restore fertility in cows affected with dystocia and
retained placenta, and that a single treatment of PGF
around days 14 and 26 post partum improves fertility in
dairy cows affected with these conditions.
Impact: The dairy industry in Florida has an economic
impact of over $500 million per year (1993 figures).
Infertility causes significant financial losses to Florida dairy
farmers from loss in milk production and replacement
costs. Our work documents that the use of prostaglandin
improves fertility in dairy cows enabling dairymen to
maximize reproductive efficiency in their herds. Prostag-
landin is an inexpensive hormone approved by the FDA
tor use in lactating cows and is available throughout the
world.

CENTRAL FLORIDA REC

Bacterial Fruit Blotch of Watermelon
Situation: Watermelon fruit blotch, a seed-borne bacterial
disease, has occurred in Florida every year since 1989, and

in some years, has been devastating in other Eastern States

that produce watermelon. Fortunately, fruit blotch has
been limited to less than 5 percent of the Florida water-
melon acreage, but losses have been as high as 90 percent
in fields that have it. Individual growers have suffered
losses as high as $150,000. Yearly production losses to the
$80 million Florida watermelon industry from bacterial
fruit blotch probably have averaged a little less than $1
million. The biggest threat from this disease results from
the litigations against seed companies and transplant
growers for the introduction of the bacteria into commer-
cial fields. There have been single lawsuits in Florida for
more than $1 million, and there currently are 37 outstand-
ing lawsuits in South Carolina. These litigations caused
seed companies to temporarily suspend the sale of water-
melon seed in the U.S. in the fall of 1994. Excessive
liability could result in companies refusing to sell water-
melon seed in the Eastern U.S. permanently, or until this
disease problem is solved. If this happens, there could be
no $80-million watermelon industry in Florida.
Rationale: There must be seed production methods and
seed testing methods developed that will allow watermelon
seed producers to know that their seed is free of the
watermelon fruit blotch bacterium. Seed treatments to
eliminate the bacterium need to be developed. Sensitive
assays for seed contamination must be devised, perhaps
using selective media and new molecular techniques such
as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For the instances
where the bacteria gets into the field despite the best
efforts to use clean seed, there needs to be control options
available to the grower.
Impact: By developing this technology for producing
disease-free seed, the litigations will subside and seed
companies will be able to continue selling watermelon
seed profitably, thus allowing this $80-million industry
to continue in Florida. The field control of the disease,
perhaps with copper-containing fungicides, will allow

the watermelon grower to prevent those total losses of
$100,000, or more, and the industry to prevent the yearly
loss of approximately $1 million.
Collaborators: The watermelon seed companies and
various watermelon grower groups have joined together
to support part of this research with a grant. Some of the
research is done in collaboration with R.E. Stall and
T. Kucharek in the plant pathology department in
Gainesville. The results will be extended to the Florida
growers through cooperation with the extension
pathologist T. Kucharek.

CITRUS REC

Minimizing The Impact of Fruit and Foliage
Diseases of Citrus Trees
Situation: Florida's hot, humid climate is extremely
favorable to the proliferation of fungi and the development
of diseases. Some of these diseases affect only the external
appearance of the fruit, and thus are only important on
fresh-market varieties. Others may have serious effects
on yield.
Greasy spot affects most varieties and almost the entire
citrus acreage and causes premature defoliation, tree
morbidity and reduced yields if not controlled. Postbloom
fruit drop affects flowers causing drop of fruitlets and can
be severe if rains occur during the bloom period. Alternaria
brown spot is limited to tangerines and its hybrids but is
severe in rainy years causing fruit drop and disfiguring fruit
lesions. Melanose and scab do not reduce yields but cause
unsightly blemishes, especially on grapefruit and some
tangerines.
Impact: Fungal diseases are controlled primarily by
applications of fungicides with the number of treatments
ranging from a single application per year on oranges for
juice to several in grapefruit and tangerines for the fresh
market. Each application costs from $40-50 per acre.
Fungal diseases may reduce packout of fresh fruit and thus
returns to the grower. For example, on grapefruit marketed
over the last five years, each 10 percent reduction in
packout decreased returns to the grower by over $800 per
acre. Losses to postbloom fruit drop have been localized,
but some growers have experienced yield reduction of
50-90 percent on Navel oranges. Alternaria brown spot has
become so severe on Minneola tangelos that orchards are
being removed and replants with potentially less profitable
varieties.
Rationale: The emphasis of the research programs on

fungal diseases is to develop a thorough understanding of

the causal fungi and the environmental conditions
favorable to disease development. Thus, cultural practices
can be modified and fungicide treatments can be applied in
a timely manner to minimize losses. When postbloom fruit
drop appeared in Florida for the first time in 1983, a large
program was developed which determined and character-
ized the causal fungus, described the disease cycle, deter-
mined the means of survival between bloom periods and
the means of spread. A predictive model was developed to
properly time fungicide applications and avoid unnecessary
sprays.
Copper fungicides are the most important products for
disease control. They are very safe for applicators and
consumers and highly effective for control of melanose and
greasy spot. However, they do accumulate in the soil and
may become toxic to trees. Products with reduced copper
content and lower rates of standard materials have been
evaluated for disease control. Use of low rates and frequent
applications have improved disease control without
increasing the amount of copper applied. Micronutrient
sprays have been found useful for greasy spot control and
may help reduce the amount of copper applied for that
disease. Newer, more environmentally friendly fungicides,
many of biological origin, are being evaluated for disease
control on citrus.
Future research will be directed at more accurate definition
of environmental conditions for disease development with
the aim to produce predictive models which can minimize
sprays and maximize disease control. Sources of resistance
exist in citrus germplasm for Alternaria brown spot and
scab which can be incorporated into commercially
desirable varieties.

water contaminants. This project evaluated an alternative
approach to disease control by investigating the effect of
an element found in varying concentrations in plants,
silicon, on several rice diseases such as blast.
Rationale: Silicon is one of the most abundant elements
in the earth's crust, and most soils contain considerable
quantities of this element. However, repeated cropping can
reduce the levels of plant-available silicon to the point
that supplemental silicon fertilization is required for
maximum production. Low-silicon soils (Oxisols and
Ultisols) are typically highly weathered, leached, acidic,
and low in base saturation. Organic soils (Histosols) are
also considered low-silicon soils. These soil conditions are
commonly found in crop producing areas of the Southeast-
ern US., Brazil, Colombia, and other areas of Latin
America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Silicon is known to
reduce the severities of blast, brown spot, scald and other
rice diseases. Recently, research demonstrated that silicon
will enhance host plant resistance and control blast as well
as brown spot to the same degree as a fungicide.
Economic: Our growers know that if they have amended

application is about $16 per acre. If applied at two times
per season on about 80 percent of the 22,000 acres of rice
planted and amended with silicon, the cost would be about
$563,200. Thus, this research has saved the rice growers
over half a million dollars annually.
Social and environmental: The general public is in favor
of production systems that offer alternatives to chemicals
such as fungicides. Silicon fertilization represents such a
system. In fact, international research centers such as
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Interna-
tional Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) have been
interested in this research and we have been cooperating
with CIAT for the past four years on several aspects. In
addition, EMPRAPA (the USDA equivalent in Brazil) is

farming in the
EAA. Within the past 20 years, much attention has been
focused on the effects of agricultural drainage water on the
South Florida environment. Many blame agricultural

activities in the EAA for the real and perceived negative
impacts on these protected environments. The primary
causes of the negative impacts have been identified as
elevated levels of phosphorus (P) in agricultural drainage
water and changes in the wetland hydroperiods. Best
Management Practices (BMPs) are being developed as cost
effective methods of partially mitigating both water quality
and quantity problems.
Rationale: The water quality and quantity problems being
experienced by south Florida are the foci of great amounts
of effort and research resources provided by local, state and
federal government groups. The Everglades issue is perhaps
the single most important agricultural/environmental
problem in the United States. The solution to the problem
as well as the methods of developing a solution are being
watched closely by farmers and environmentalists across
the America. Many look at the Everglades issue as a
barometer of the sustainability of agriculture in the face of
mounting environmental concerns. Granting agencies
continue to supply research dollars in excess of $500,000
per year in support of the program. Support resources are
necessary to maintain a basic services framework under
which the research can be performed in an expedient
manner.
Impact: The cessation of agricultural production in the
EAA would cause the loss of countless jobs and reductions
in state and personal revenues eclipsing $1 billion annu-
ally. Entire cities bordering Lake Okeechobee would simply
cease to exist. The research program offers practical
solutions that will enable agriculture and the environment
to coexist. Best management practices reduce phosphorus
loading and demands on water resources, while actually
optimizing the usage of water, chemicals, and energy.
A large portion of the ecosystem native to the Florida
Everglades can be preserved as a national resource,
continuing to exist as a tourist attraction, and natural
habitat to indigenous flora and fauna. Costs of Storm-
water Treatment Areas (STAs) are estimated to be $ 400
million based on a 25 percent agricultural P load reduction.
Loading reductions near the 40 percent level could reduce
STA costs by at least $150 million.

the same with older
products being replaced
with new fungicide chemistry. Due to the accessibility of
fungicides and the significant influence of the chemical
industry, turfgrass managers were relying more on chemi-
cals than on cultural controls for disease management. A
program was required to reinforce the effectiveness of an
integrated approach for disease control.
Impact: Based on interactions with the golf course
industry, fungicide use for control of bermudagrass decline
(a root rot disease) has declined significantly. Our research
indicated that: (1) the single most important disease
control was simply to raise the cutting height, and (2)
many of the triazole fungicides currently available can have
a negative impact on turfgrass quality which ultimately
requires greater inputs for turfgrass culture. In other words,
fungicides can hurt as much as they can help.
Turfgrass managers have been taught, via field research,
that they must act as informed consumers in selecting and
using the appropriate fimgicide. Reduction in fungicide use
by managers decreases environmental exposure to these
products in an urban setting. They have also observed that
cultural practices influence, both good and bad, the

Despite the use
of the large
quantity of termiticides (5-10 kg per single family home),
this technique does not affect the vast population of
subterranean termites in soil.
Rationale: The termite research project at the Fort
Lauderdale Research and Education Center, IFAS/UF was
created in 1985 to study the biology of termite pests and to
develop better control techniques. The project has been
supported by an annual investment of about $100,000 in

(IGR), hexaflumuron, to the vast populations of subterra-
nean termite colonies near a house. The system typically
uses less than one gram of IGR to eliminate a colony of

New Techniques Allow Screening for
Resistance to an Old Disease
Situation: The plant pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii, first found
on tomato in Florida in 1892, is a soilborne fungus that
causes major diseases on tomato, pepper, peanut, cotton,
soybean, most cucurbits and other crops in temperate
regions worldwide. Yield losses to this pathogen can be
very high, requiring fungicides and fumigants to minimize
losses. Where control measures are inadequate yield losses
of 10-25 percent may be encountered and losses as high as
66 percent have been measured in peanut research plots.
Screening for resistance to this pathogen has always been a
problem.
Rationale: The ideal control for plant diseases is resis-
tance. Screening for resistance to this pathogen in the
greenhouse or field has always yielded erratic results.
Techniques were needed that would allow consistent,
systematic evaluation of plant resistance to this pathogen.
Approximately 10 years were spent at the NFREC, Quincy,
and Marianna, using peanuts as a model to test these
techniques.
Impact: Three inoculation techniques were developed that
consistently work in the greenhouse and field. Two
techniques allow evaluation of individual plants. 1. The
fungus may be grown on sterilized clothespins impregnated
with potato dextrose agar as a food base. Individual
'pathogenic' clothespins can very quickly be clamped

in the U.S. must end Jan.1, 2001. Methyl bromide is an
important soil fumigant in many Florida production
systems, particularly fresh market tomatoes. Fresh market
tomato production was valued at $594 million in 1993,
53.3 percent of the total U.S. crop value. Most all of the
25,000 acres in tomatoes are fumigated each year with
methyl bromide. Without alternatives to methyl bromide,

prepare for both crops,
each field is fumigated with methyl bromide and then the
planting beds are covered with plastic mulch. Soil solariza-
tion is a cultural practice that may reduce the need for
methyl bromide. Presently, the beds are formed and tarped
in early June in preparation for the fall crop. New research
has shown that if certain clear plastic is used, rather than
the traditional white plastic, the suns rays will heat the soil
sufficiently to kill tomato pests. The energy from the sun is
trapped in the beds, causing the temperature of the soil to
reach up to 135 F at the surface to 100 F at a depth of 10
inches. After six weeks of these extreme temperatures, the
pests in the soil have been killed similar to what would
have occurred if methyl bromide had been used. When the
tomatoes are planted in the summer, the plastic is painted
with to reduce the soil temperature, thus protecting the
tomato's roots.
Impact: Large plots are already being established by
growers in the Quincy area. If this proves to be successful,
it will provide an alternative to methyl bromide for the fall
tomato crop. This is critical for the industry to continue.
This is also one of the first examples of a production system
that can fully utilize the benefits of solarization, a method
of soil treatment that was first develop in Israel over 20
years ago.

shown to have
resistance to five major diseases. With the release of
SunOleic 95R in 1995, UF has provided the peanut
industry and the U.S. consumer with the first high oleic
peanut cultivar. SunOleic 95R has 80 percent oleic (18:1)
and 2.5 percent linoleic (18:2) fatty acid content of its oil,
compared to 55 percent (0) and 26 percent (L) for
Florunner. This trans-lates into significant shelf-life
improvement (3-15 fold) for peanut products from this
cultivar. This oil chemistry is comparable to olive oil. UF
research has shown that this peanut, as part of a low-fat
diet, can be helpful in reduction of LDL cholesterol levels
in individuals with this problem.
Rationale: Considering the importance of peanuts in
Florida and the southeast USA production area and the
above mentioned success of the breeding program, the UF
Agricultural Experiment Station has continued funding
this program for over 65 years. In the late 1970s and the
early 1980s, Florida peanut cultivars occupied about 75
percent of the total U.S. acreage and still occupied about
40 percent of this acreage in 1994.
Importance: The potential impact of the SunOleic 95R
and future UF peanut cultivars with this chemistry could
be tremendous. It will provide consumers with a healthier
peanut which should stimulate consumption, which has
declined in recent years. Manufacturers will benefit from
extended shelf-life and reduced product recall. This shelf-
life benefit could stimulate product development and cause
manufacturers of peanut products to revisit packaging

internationally. All of this should directly benefit Florida
consumers, as well as the peanut industry. This cultivar

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA REC

Using Compost to Recycle Municipal Organic

Situation: The disposal of common municipal solid wastes
(MSW) like yard trimmings and household garbage has
become more complex and expensive due to difficulties in
siting new landfills as older ones approach capacity. Florida
generates over 20 million tons of MSW each year, and will
produce more as the population increases. Other environ-
mentally-acceptable disposal methods other than
landfilling need to be explored. One alternative is to
recycle the organic wastes by turning them into compost,
which can be used as an amendment to improve Florida's
sandy soils. Composting is being encouraged as a solid-
waste disposal method because returning the composted

products to the land recycles organic back to the site
where they originated.
Rationale: The importance of organic matter to soil
productivity, especially in sandy soil, has long been
recognized. Adding a high rate of MSW compost to a soil
can potentially improve its physical, chemical, and
biological properties. The recent focus on compost
production will eventually provide large quantities of
material that could be used to improve soil quality. It is
assumed that agriculture and horticulture will be the
primary users of Florida composts, but a market will not
exist unless high-quality materials are produced that have
demonstrated product value, and are affordable.
Impact: Biodegradable organic that could be composted
comprise about 60 percent of Florida's waste stream, or
about 11 million tons annually. Composting these materi-
als would reduce the necessity for municipalities to build
expensive new landfills or incinerators, and would generate
about 6 million tons of soil amendment. Tomato and
watermelon yields increased in response to MSW compost
additions at the SWFREC in Immokalee. Soil water-
holding capacity, pH and nutritional status increased
where compost was applied, as did the soil's ability to
retain phosphorus fertilizer against leaching. Plant growth
was inhibited where immature compost was used, which
emphasized the need to inform potential compost users of
the potential drawbacks of compost use as well as the
positive aspects.

Immokalee was part of a statewide comprehensive com-

temperament and neonate survivability.

Rationale: There are alternative sources of beef cattle
germplasm from other countries that are adapted to
tropical environments that have not been characterized
under U.S. conditions. Priority should be given to the
characterization and evaluation of tropically adapted beef
cattle germplasm that has potential for increasing produc-
tion efficiency, especially reproductive efficiency, and
potential for improving marketability. Over the last
decade the Senepol, a tropically adapted Bos taurus breed
has been evaluated at STARS. As evaluations of the
Senepol are finishing, other breeds have been identified for
evaluation. These breeds include the Tuli, a sanga breed
native to Africa, and the Romosinuano, a criollo breed
native to Colombia.
Impact: Research results suggest that under conditions in
Florida, the tropical adapted Bos taurus breeds, Romosinu-
ano and Senepol, could contribute reproductive traits more
similar to temperately adapted Bos taurus than tropically
adapted Bos indicus breeds without sacrificing tropical
adaptation. Although post weaning level of nutrition
affected age at puberty in heifers, age at puberty averaged
across breeds was greater than 18 months of age. Brahman
and Nellore x Brahman heifers did not reach puberty until
nearly two years of age, which was later than all other
breeds studied. Tropically adapted Bos taurus breeds such
as Senepol and Romosinuano reached puberty at younger
ages than tropically adapted Bos indices breeds (Brahman
and Nellore x Brahman). Like Brahman, Senepol and
crossbred Senepol cattle were shown to be more heat
tolerant than temperately adapted breeds during summer in
subtropical Florida. Levels of heterosis between Hereford

reported for Bos indicus x Bos taurus crosses. Carcass quality
and meat tenderness of Senepol and Senepol crossbred
steers were comparable to that of Herefords.

Florida Scientist

Situation: Florida y
is the largest f
producer of sugar / -..

the United States.

value of sugar in in Homestead.
Florida is over $1
billion providing over 18,000 full-time jobs. Ratoon
stunting disease is considered to be the most important
disease of sugarcane on a worldwide basis, and losses due to
the disease in Florida are estimated at over $30 million
annually.
Accomplishment: Research scientists at UF have shown
that ratoon stunting disease is caused by a very small
bacterium that infects the water conducting system within
sugarcane plants resulting in stunting of infected plants.
After studying the reaction of plants to the pathogen for
more than 10 years, Professor Michael J. Davis and
colleagues at IFAS have developed a method to breed for
resistance to the disease in new varieties. This method is

based on measuring the extent of colonization of plants by
the pathogen using a technique developed at the university
called the tissue-blot enzyme immunoassay. The breeding
method has now been incorporated into the joint breeding
program of UF, the USDA and Florida Sugar Cane League.
Impact: It is likely that this technique will be used to
develop resistant sugarcane varieties for use throughout
cane growing areas of the United States and elsewhere.
This will permit the production of sugar on less land and
lower the cost of this nutrient to consumers.

Impact of Flooding on Subtropical and Tropical
Fruit Trees
Rationale: Urban
expansion in
South Florida is
forcing fruit
production into ,
marginal agricul-
tural areas which
are prone to
flooding due to
tropical storms or
hurricanes.
Additionally, in
an attempt to
restore the a
natural ecosystem
of the Everglades, Professor Bruce Schaffer checks soil
the South Florida where fruit trees will be planted at the
Water M anage- UF/IFAS Tropical Research and
ment District Education Center in Homestead.
and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers plan to increase water flow from
Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. This will raise the water
table (for at least part of the year) in much of the agricul-
tural area that is used for tropical fruit production. For
tropical fruit production to continue in these areas, it is
essential to identify species or cultivars that are adapted to
south Florida conditions and that can tolerate cyclical
flooding, and to improve the capacity of economic plants
to be highly productive under these conditions. Therefore
the mechanisms of flood-tolerance for individual crops
must be determined. Also, often flooding-stress in trees is
not due only to lack of oxygen, but the result of root
pathogens which are more damaging when roots are water-
logged. Therefore, it is often important to consider
waterlogging to pathogen interactions in studies on the

effects of flooding of fruit crops and in devising methods of
amelioration.
The research has shown that crops such as carambola and
mango can tolerate some flooding, whereas avocado is
flood-sensitive. In Dade County soils, there is a strong
additive effect of Phytophthora root and flooding on
avocado. Phytophthora infection is not a serious problem
in these soils under non-flooded conditions, whereas it is
devastating under flooded conditions. Thus, treating
avocado with certain fungicides can reduce the chance of
tree mortality under flooded conditions. Also
Phytophthora-resistant avocado rootstocks from California
have been shown to be promising. In other crop catego-
ries, flood-tolerant species and cultivars are being identi-
fied. For example, using pond apple (a "swamp-loving"
Everglades annona species native to the Everglades) as
a rootstock for commercial annonas such as atemoya may
produce flood-tolerant, commercially productive tropical
fruit trees.
Impact: Ultimately this work will allow tropical fruit
production to be profitable in areas which are now mar-
ginal for crop production due to flooding. This will help
maintain a place for agriculture in an area faced with
increasing urbanization and with the need to elevate the
water table in order to restore the Everglades to 19th-
century conditions.

Integrated Production Systems Adopted by
Commercial Vegetable Growers
Situation: In 1970, about 20,000 acres of tomato were
grown with multiple fertilizer application and sprinkler
irrigation to produce about 6.8 million cartons of fruit.
About 7,000 snap beans produced about 1.25 million
bushels and 2,900 acres of squash produced about 0.44
million in 1970. Preventive foliar sprays were applied
frequently to control insect and disease pests of tomatoes,
bean and squash. Crop yields were adversely affected by
soil-borne diseases and fruit rots. During the 1970s and
1980s research at UF/ TREC led to the development of
several integrated production systems that were adopted by
the vegetable crops industry that lost 2,000-plus acres to
urban expansion (blight) and 6,000 acres to government
land acquisition for the Everglades National Park.
Impact: Bedding systems utilizing plastic mulch, fimiga-
tion and drip irrigation enhanced control of weeds and
soil-borne diseases, and fruit rots reduced irrigation

requirements by over 200 percent and more than double

and now 100 percent are being drip irrigated. Multiple,
sequential cropping research on plastic mulch, initiated at
TREC in the mid 1970s was rapidly utilized in other areas
of the state in the 1980s and growers in Dade County
began following tomato crops with one or two squash or
cucumber crops on the same mulch drip system in 1990.
Principles used in the UF designed punch planter"
enhanced the industry's acceptance of the multiple-
cropping system. UF/TREC research on gel seeding of
pregerminated seed led to the development of a more
efficient (closed) burner to burn planting holes in plastic
mulch. This burner is used on 90 percent of the plastic
mulched crops grown in rock soils. Under-bed trenching
research with vegetable at TREC in 1985 allowed deeper
penetration of root system, enhanced plants utilization of
aquifer water with reduced requirements for irrigation.
Integrated pest management (IPM) research in vegetable
crops initiated at UFfFREC in the mid-1970s led to
scouting techniques and development of insect threshold
levels for many vegetable insects now used by commercial
Florida IPM firms. As a result of IPM practice used or
vegetable in Dade County, reduced levels of pesticides are
applied to crops providing an economic advantage to
growers that use IPM and a health advantage to consumers
who purchase the produce. These integrated systems have
enabled Dade County tomato growers to produce 7.5
million cartons of tomato from 5,500 acres annually during

the first half of the 1990s; i.e. 25 percent of the 1970
acreage produced 10 percent more tomatoes in the 1990s.

Rejuvenation of Non-productive Avocado
Orchards in Florida
Situation: During the 1960s and 1970s avocado orchards
in Florida were planted at relatively close spacings (e.g., 15
ft. x 20 ft. 18 x 22 ft.). Close spacings early in an orchard's
life increased per acre yields and returns. However, after
10 to 15 years trees would compete with each other for
light, water, and nutrients; and therefore periodic topping
and/or hedging or tree thinning would be required to
maintain productive tree canopy, yields, and orchard
profits. Unfortunately, most producers delayed tree size
control and/or removal practices, and consequently fruit
yields and quality declined steadily (to 1 or less bushes per
tree).
Rationale: Florida had about 9,000 acres of avocados
before Hurricane Andrew, 6,000 now. Much of it was
mature, but yields were very low (one bushel per tree
average). Rejuvenation of mature non-productive orchards
through selective tree removal and topping was proposed as
a possible solution to re-establishing productive tree
canopy, increasing yields, and improving fruit quality.
However, this had not been demonstrated nor documented
to be effective, reliable and economically advantageous.

skin condition of an avocado at the UF/IFAS Tropical Research

Selected Research Accomplishments

Impact: A 4-year field trial was established with a cooper-
ating avocado grower to assess a planned orchard rejuvena-
tion program (topping, selective tree removal) on one
upright and one spreading growth habit avocado cultivar,
respectively. Re-establishment of productive canopy, crop
yields, and costs of rejuvenating the trees were recorded.
Three grower field days were held to demonstrate results to
the avocado industry. The trial demonstrated the feasibil-
ity (economic and practical) of rejuvenating non-produc-
tive avocado orchards with spreading growth habit
cultivars and the questionable economic advantages of
rejuvenating avocado orchards with upright growth habit
trees. Results were also presented at an avocado growers
seminar, the Florida State Horticultural Society annual
meetings, and at individual grower visits. Currently about
70 percent of the industry is practicing periodic topping

and hedging to maintain trees at a height (usually 12-22
ft.) that maintains the lower productive canopy and crop
yields. Far fewer growers (perhaps 5 percent) are practicing
selective tree removal to allow remaining trees to maintain
productive lower canopy. Impact 1. maintain and
increase mature orchard production; 2. maintain and
improve fruit quality; 3. maintain and increase producer
profits.
