Mark, Many of the terms you listed are basic
plant / tree biology terms. Any basic botany book should define and place them
in a context for you. Meanwhile, a quick google
search on some of the terms came up with the following sites: http://www.uic.edu/classes/bios/bios100/labs/plantanatomy.htm http://www.bioteach.ubc.ca/Biodiversity/CapturingTheSun/ Have fun! ----Suzi Teghtmeyer Paul Evans Library of Fruit Science Evans Library Homepage: http://library.smsu.edu/paulevans/ AgNIC Viticulture site: http://library.smsu.edu/paulevans/viticulture1.shtml Email: srt175f@smsu.edu Member: From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On
Behalf Of Thetes_Mark_Straka I just saw a "prowler owl" with a four-foot
wingspan to mount on a 1/2" pole to scare off bird pests (on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4314418476&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AMT%3A1)
I was wondering if anyone has used this or something like this, and of course,
how effective it is. [By the way, what's the opposite of
"decoy?"] I'm trying to read Fred Brison's Pecan Culture, but I'm
having trouble getting through Chapter Two. It is laced with vocabulary
like: pericycle, acropetal, xylem, parenchyma, schlerenchyma, medullary ray
tissue, abscission, sessile flowers, bract, apical dominance, perianth,
peduncle, and I could go on. I am in bad need of some reference work that
will get me up to speed (hopefully illustrated!) and I'm soliciting
recommendations right now. Thank you all very much. I'm a rank beginning pecan orchardist. Mark Straka |
