The environmental horticulture industry, unlike many industries, is intricately connected to the national, regional, and local economy as plant and turfgrass sales ebb and flow with economic conditions. This publication updates readers on the national, regional, and local economic factors that have affected the environmental horticulture industry. Since the recession and drought of the mid-2000s, we find that the environmental horticulture industry has suffered economically and has yet to recover to pre-recession levels.

Viticulture Management
This phenology-based viticulture management poster provides a reference for sound viticultural, disease, and insect management practices in a digestible format. Viticultural practices optimize vineyard health, profitability, and sustainability and improve crop quantity and quality. Like pest management, viticultural practices should be implemented in a timely fashion throughout the growing season to maximize practice efficiency and benefit gain. Disease control in grapes is critical, as grapes are susceptible to a wide range of pathogens. Implementing timely and adequate cultural practices will greatly help to suppress diseases.

Autumn and winter are busy seasons for beef cattle producers, and many times grazing and cattle management are not as tightly regulated as in other times of the year. Many Southeastern cattle operations include pastureland that encompasses or borders oak timbers; most North American oak trees are considered toxic. Therefore, when cattle venture into timber land in search of grazing, there is an increased chance that acorns will be consumed and toxicosis may occur. The purpose of this bulletin is to educate producers on the symptoms and prevention of acorn toxicosis in beef cattle.

El moho crece a partir de las esporas, que se encuentran naturalmente en el aire y no se pueden ver a simple vista. Las esporas de moho actúan como semillas, haciendo que el moho crezca si las condiciones son adecuadas. El moho suele ser fácil de detectar. Aunque es posible utilizar pruebas para determinar la presencia de moho, por lo general no es necesario o recomendado hacerlo, usted puede detectar el moho rápidamente usando su vista y olfato.
Tenga en cuenta que las primeras señales de moho pueden ser el desarrollo de síntomas similares a los de una alergia. Si detecta un exceso de humedad o un olor a humedad, pero no ve moho, asegúrese de revisar detrás de los gabinetes y el papel tapiz, y debajo de las alfombras. Estos son escondites comunes para el moho. Realice una inspección completa de su hogar utilizando la Lista de Verificación de Humedad y Moho de UGA.
La clave para controlar el moho es eliminar la fuente del problema de la humedad.
