    Factors that Influence Cold Hardiness of Citrus

    One of the most common questions regarding citrus is how much cold weather they can withstand before they are killed. Most citrus growers are looking for a specific low temperature, but there is no simple answer to this question because there are so many factors involved in citrus cold hardiness. This publication details research and information on the relative cold hardiness of different citrus varieties in Georgia documented from the 2022 December freeze, which saw unseasonably low temperatures. It is important to document the impact of a freeze such as this one on citrus varieties as they are a long-term investment and should be chosen carefully. Additional authors include: Danielle Williams, Mark Frye, Derrick Bown, Jason Edenfield, Justin Shealey, Ben Reeves, Holly Anderson, Tucker Price, Braxton Crews, and Kim Post.

    Ground Covers

    Ground covers have many practical uses. Some can be used to control erosion when planted on slopes or banks. Others are effective lawn substitutes in areas that are too shady to support the growth of grasses or areas that are difficult to mow. Densely growing ground covers also effectively control weeds by blocking light from reaching the ground. Some ground covers can be used as attractive accents in areas too narrow to accommodate shrubs. One of the most common reasons for using ground covers is to reduce costly and
    time-consuming maintenance, such as mowing, edging, trimming and mulching.

    Cosecha y Manejo Postcosecha de Arándanos

    Autora adicional: Natalia Espinoza, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences. Esta circular cubre los principios básicos de cosecha, manipulación y almacenamiento en frío poscosecha de arándanos para el mercado fresco para garantizar la mayor vida útil y calidad posibles y, al mismo tiempo, minimizar las pérdidas poscosecha. Los arándanos se cosechan en Georgia desde finales de abril hasta finales de junio. Las variedades de arbusto alto del sur se cosechan temprano en la temporada, mientras que los ojos de conejo maduran hacia el final de la temporada. Es importante recordar que la calidad de las bayas está ligada tanto al precio como a la aceptación del consumidor, por lo que brindarles fruta de buena calidad es clave para el éxito de su operación. Es posible la recolección mecánica, especialmente para variedades resistentes a los magulladuras; Los costos de recolección manual son un gasto importante en las operaciones de arándanos. Aunque las cosechadoras mecánicas requieren una cantidad significativa de capital, la inversión es rentable a largo plazo para la mayoría de los productores. Es importante tener en cuenta que no todas las variedades de arándanos son aptas para la cosecha mecánica. En Georgia, la mayoría de las variedades de ojo de conejo se cosechan a máquina, especialmente para el mercado procesado. Los arándanos son un producto altamente perecedero y su vida útil a menudo está limitada por altas tasas de respiración, ablandamiento, pérdida de agua, pérdida de sabor, daños mecánicos y descomposición. Por ello, reducir la temperatura de la fruta nada más ser cosechada es crucial. [This publication is the Spanish-language version of C 1269, Blueberry Harvesting and Postharvest Handling]

    Guía Visual de las Abejas Comunes de los Campos de Arándanos en el sureste de Georgia

    Esta guía muestra las abejas silvestres más comunes de las plantaciones de arándanos en el sur de Georgia. El material presentado aquí es un resumen visual del muestreo de 2021 y 2022 en campos comerciales de arándanos de los condados productores más importantes: Bacon, Pierce y Ware. En total, se encontraron más de 70 especies de abejas. La contribución de las abejas silvestres a la polinización de los arándanos es cada vez más reconocida. La identificación adecuada de estos insectos en el campo es una parte fundamental de los esfuerzos de conservación.

    Flowering Bulbs for Georgia Gardens

    A wide variety of bulbs grow well in Georgia. Most are grown for their flowers and some for their foliage. They are grown as pot plants, in shrub borders, naturalistic plantings and in mass displays. Bulbs offer a certain magic to the landscape virtually unrivaled by other plants.
