1991 Report by the Dean for Research 1


The decade of the '90s arrived with more challenges and
opportunities than anticipated. The impact of the national
economic recession began to be felt in Florida, including
the University of Florida and the Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences. The Florida Agricultural Experi-
ment Station had to return 18 faculty positions and
numerous support positions as a result of budget reductions
during fiscal year 1990-91. In addition to the economic
problems, several new and serious diseases began plaguing
the Florida vegetable and citrus industry. These problems,
in addition to the need for Florida agriculture to meet more
stringent environmental standards and better management
of limited resources, while competing for national and
international markets, has provided a set of exciting
opportunities for the administration and faculty in the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
Several changes in chairs and directors have occurred
during 1990 in the Florida Agricultural Experiment
Station. Dr. George O'Connor from New Mexico State
University was appointed Chair of the Soil Science
Department, Dr. Glen Hembry from Louisiana State
University was appointed Chair of the Animal Science
Department, Dr. Roger Natzke assumed Interim Chair
responsibilities for the Poultry Science Department in
addition to his duties as Chair of the Dairy Science
Department, Dr. Terril Nell was appointed Interim Chair
of the Department of Environmental Horticulture,
Dr. Jesse Gregory was appointed Interim Chair of the
Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, and
Dr. Pat Reid was appointed Interim Director of the School
of Forest Resources and Conservation.
During the past fiscal year, the Department of Entomology
and Nematology moved into new facilities which will be
dedicated October 11, 1991. Construction was completed
for the new laboratory facilities at the Everglades Research
and Education Center, Belle Glade. The Florida Turfgrass
Growers Association contributed $350,000 which was
matched by the State of Florida for a total of $700,000 for
the construction of an Envirotron to be built behind Fifield
Hall during fiscal year 1991-92. The Strawberry Growers
Association contributed $50,000 which was matched with
$50,000 from the State of Florida for construction of a new
research facility at the Research and Education Center in
Dover.
Environmental quality and water conservation continue to
be of major concern to not only the general public, but the
farming community as well. As a result, sustainable
agriculture procedures are losing their "alternative"
implications and becoming permanent everyday practices
for Florida growers. For example, greater emphasis is being
placed on strategies for controlling pests through cultural
management and biological control than through pesticides
alone. Also, greater emphasis is being placed on disease
free transplant material and cleaning old plant material
from the field at the completion of harvest. Applications
of pesticides, water, fertilizer, etc., are being integrated into


total management strategies for crop production rather
than management through single variables.
As we move into fiscal year 1991-92, the Florida Agricul-
tural Experiment Station will continue to meet the specific
research needs of the people of Florida. Whether in
integrated pest management, forage production and
utilization, waste management, wildlife and natural
resource protection and management, forestry or the many
other areas the Experiment Station is involved in, the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station will fulfill its
mission to discover information which will benefit the
agricultural industry and the urban population of Florida.
Research completed by the Florida Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, University of Florida/IFAS, is published in
scientific journals, bulletins, circulars, books and confer-
ence proceedings. Scientists at the Experiment Station
also participate in field days, short courses, conferences and
other public information programs to acquaint producers
and consumers with recent research findings as well as new
research directions. This Annual Report includes a brief
summary of selected research programs, a list of faculty,
publications, title of current research projects and a brief
financial report. The Annual Report is not intended to be
a detailed description of all research underway in the
Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, but rather to
summarize selected areas and to identify those faculty
conducting that research.

1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 3


ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND
PROTECTION

Maternal-embryo communication
A direct line between the maternal uterus and the devel-
oping concepts may be established with the help of
growth factors, proteins produced during early pregnancy
by the maternal uterus. Recent work with pregnant sheep
and pigs has demonstrated that a family of these proteins,
termed "insulin-like growth factors," may initiate and
amplify the production of biochemical signals by the
concepts, alerting the mother that she is carrying a viable
concepts. These biochemical signals trigger the produc-
tion by the pregnant uterus of other proteins that nourish
the concepts and allow it to grow and develop normally.
Failure of the early pregnant uterus to synthesize these
growth factors may be the cause of high incidence of
embryo mortality in food-producing animals.

Improved Artificial Insemination through
Ovarian Control of the Cow
Major strides can be made in producing genetically
superior calves through artificial insemination. However,
artificial insemination is a labor intensive endeavor. A
team of researchers with the Animal Science Department
developed a new method of synchronizing behavioral
estrus and ovulation in a herd of cattle, using two injec-
tions of the hormone prostaglandin F2a at a 24-hour
interval. When tested statewide, this method resulted in a
10% increase in cows pregnant to insemination at this
synchronized estrus.
The Animal Science team has found the corpus luteum of
the ovary synthesizes and packages the hormone oxytocin
in secretary granules that are released into the blood
stream at a critical time in the cycle, leading to ovulation.
Importantly, the scientists have now discovered two cell
types of the corpus luteum that respond differently to the
hormone prostaglandin F2a. This new information will aid
in the development of new strategies for regulating
ovulation, so that cows can be inseminated at a precise,
pre-determined time.
With an increase in conception rate to AI, more ranchers
will utilize this tool to improve the genetics of their herd,
positioning themselves to take advantage of new biotech-
nology advances that will be offered to the cattle industry.
Department of Animal Science
Michael J. Fields, Professor


Feeding Dairy Cattle More Effectively and
Cheaply
The Florida dairy industry uses more by-product feedstuffs
than any other state. The major sources of protein now are
soybean and cottonseed meal, yet dairymen are rapidly
becoming interested in animal protein feedstuffs for
balancing the level of amino acids reaching the small
intestine.
Feathermeal is one such animal protein by-product
feedstuff that contains 80% protein. Because a large
portion of the hydrolyzed feather meal(HFM) is produced
in the South, it seems only reasonable that it would be
competitively priced with other alternative feedstuffs.
In an experiment at the Dairy Research Unit, three levels
of HFM(0, 3, and 6%) were used in the dry matter of total
mixed rations to study the effect of HFM on palatability
and milk production. Thirty-six Holsteins were used in
three, 28-day feeding periods to evaluate the value of the
protein in feather meal. Feather meal was found to have no
effect on dry matter intake and milk fat percent but had a
slight negative effect on milk protein percent. Because of
its high bypass protein content, feather meal may be used
to partially replace other more expensive bypass protein
supplements.

B. Harris, Jr., Professor

Benefits of Feeding Colostrum to Newborn
Calves and Piglets
Colostrum, the first milk of lactation, has long been known
to provide a source of immunity from disease to newly born
calves, piglets, sheep, goats and horses. Recent work from
IFAS Dairy Science researchers suggests an additional and
important role for colostrum: specifically promoting growth
and maturation of gastrointestinal tissues in the newborn
calf and piglet.
Defined proteins which stimulate cellular and tissue
growth have been identified to occur at very high levels i,
bovine and porcine colostrum, but at much lower levels in
the corresponding milk at later lactation. In addition,
feeding colostrum, as opposed to feeding mature milk
during the first few days after birth, has a preferential
stimulatory effect on neonatal gastrointestinal grow'h and
maturation.
This work suggests avenues to augment growth ut calves
and piglets via the supplementation of colostrum and milk
with growth-promoting proteins produced by biotechno-
logical means. This may be particularly beneficial to
growth-retarded neonates, more commonly known as
"runts."

4 1991 Selected Research Accomplishments


Amount of Feed Intake and Heat Stress Affect
Physiology of Lactating Dairy Cattle
A series of experiments in climatic chambers was done to
quantify the effects of amount of feed intake and environ-
mental heat stress on blood flow to different organ systems
in lactating dairy cattle. Treatments were: heat stress
(simulating a typical summer day in Florida), thermal
comfort environment with feeding rate equal to the heat
stress treatment and thermal comfort environment with ad
libitwn feeding.
It was found that heat stress and restricted feed intake
resulted in reductions in milk yield, blood flow from the
digestive tract and to the mammary gland compared with
ad libitum feeding in the thermal comfort environment.
The primary effects on productive and physiological
responses were due directly to amount of feed intake and
not heat stress, per se. The results emphasized the tremen-
dous importance of protecting Florida cows from the heat-
stressing environment by modifying the environment to
increase feed intake, blood flow to the different organ
systems and lactational performance.

Aquacultural Effluents
The aquaculture industry is expanding rapidly in Florida;
however, aquacultural effluents are currently regulated as
industrial wastes that might deter industry development. A
study was conducted to provide data for a basis for general
aquacultural permits. Water quality data were collected
from channel catfish, tilapia, crawfish, largemouth bass,
bluegill-redear sunfish, and alligator ponds. The data
collected are being used to develop general aquaculture
permits.
Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture
J. V. Shireman, Professor

Nutrition and the Immune Response in Poultry
Cooperative research between the Poultry Science Depart-
ment and the Veterinary College is studying the interrela-
tionship between nutrition and the immune response in
poultry. In one study, the influence of salt (NaCI) defi-
ciency during the 7-week starter and growing phases in the
broiler was investigated. Salt was omitted from the diet
during weeks 1, 2,3 and 4. Antibody titers against a killed
infectious bronchitis virus were lower in the salt- deficient
groups. The decrease in body weight in the salt-deficient
groups was a result of decreased feed intake. Broilers par-
fed a salt-adequate diet had increased antibody titers. A
salt deficiency was more detrimental in younger birds than
in older birds.

Development of a New Model for Evaluating
Nutrient Requirements for Commercial Laying
Hens
The environmental temperature has been varied to obtain
the desired daily intake of a corn-soybean meal diet. This
allows the nutrient intake to be decreased until the desired
nutrient is limiting. The nutrient requirement is then
established at the amount required to produce one-gram of
egg content.
The requirement is established by multiplying this by the
daily output of egg content. This method has been found
to be as accurate as the broken line regression technique.
Also the diet does not need to be deficient as in previous
experiments since it is not essential to have a response to
graded levels of the nutrient. The technique has been
effective in studying the requirement for amino acids and is
more similar to commercial conditions than previous
models.
Department of Poultry Science
Robert H. Harms, Graduate Research Professor

Improving Reproduction in Pigs
Pig sperm, in contrast to that of many other mammals,
deposited into the female pig do not surround the egg at
fertilization. Instead, researchers have found that sperm are
held back in a reservoir in the lower reaches of the
Fallopian tubes. Only a small trickle is released to meet the
egg. If scientists can learn how the gates of the sperm
reservoir are controlled, they may be able to improve
fertility of livestock.
A system has been developed in culture dishes for growing
pieces of the Fallopian tubes of pigs. Researchers have
found that when boar sperm is added to these cultures, the
sperm immediately stick to the inner wall of the tubes.
They have also found that the cultures produce a mat of
mucus that traps sperm as well. If these roadblocks to
fertilization could be artificially controlled, semen from
valuable males could be used to impregnate many more
females.

Pheromones and "Tick Decoys"
Ticks and tick-borne diseases are major constraints on
livestock production in much of the world. The males of
some species of Amblyomma ticks emit an aggregation-
attachment pheromone, or odor, after a period of attach-
ment and feeding on the host IFAS researchers in the
Department of Infectious Diseases of the College of
Veterinary Medicine have found that this pheromone is
used in host selection and host location and can attract
ticks from distances of up to 25' meters. The chemical









1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 5


composition of this pheromone has been determined, and
synthetic pheromones prepared.
These synthetic pheromones have been used to attract
Amblyomma ticks to "tick decoys" also containing a small
amount of acaricide (tick killer). Compared to current tick
control methods, this tick decoy is much less expensive
and has substantially less environmental impact. This is a
novel, environmentally sound and cost-effective means of
tick control.

Molasses for Cows and Calves
Summer supplementation of cows and their calves with a
molasses-urea (30% crude protein) mixture for 60 to 80
days before weaning in September improved both calf
weaning weight and cow condition. Cows and their calves
consumed 3.6 and 4.0 lbs of molasses-urea/cow-calf pair/
day in two separate trials. At weaning, calves offered
molasses-urea supplement were 18 and 39 lbs. heavier, and
cows were 11 and 37 lbs. heavier than calves and cows
receiving no supplement in trials 1 and 2, respectively.
With the current calf market ($90/cwt average for heifers
and steers), net returns above supplement cost would be
about $6 and $18 per calf weaned.

ENGINEERING SCIENCES
Second Crop Planting with a Spade Planter
A revolving spade planter developed at the University of
Florida can place seeds through previously used plastic
mulch, re-using the plastic and more completely utilizing
fertilizer left over from the previous crop. The revolving
spade planter with a vacuum seed metering device has
been extensively used by a Dade County, Florida vegetable
grower to plant a second crop of beans after his tomato
crop was destroyed by a freeze.
This planter was able to plant through the plastic mulch
and place the seeds within 8 inches of the row of tomato
stakes, so the beans would climb on the same stakes and
strings. The grower estimated that he was able to save
nearly $100 per acre in planting costs with this machine.
The grower's use of the machine provided design engineers
data on machine refinements needed before the design can
be released for manufacture.

Microirrigation Evaluation
Ten models of microirrigation spinners and spray emitters
were evaluated over a 3.5-year period to determine the
long-term maintenance characteristics of various designs.
Emitters were located in a block of mature orange trees on
single beds with a 9.1 meters between-row x 7.0 meters
within-row spacing. The irrigation system used a surface
water supply source with 50 mesh screen filtration.
Emitters were all on the same irrigation zone and received
water of the same quality at the same time and for the same
duration. Fifty emitters of each model were arranged in
groups of 10 in a randomized complete block design with 5
replications. All emitters were thoroughly examined twice
per year. At the time of examination, the condition of all
emitters was recorded, and any that were malfunctioning
were replaced. Clogging was normally caused by algae,
spiders, or ants. The clogging rate per inspection period
averaged 19% and ranged from 2% to 38%, depending on
emitter model. Designs which used enclosed caps to
disperse water had the highest clogging rates. Emitters
which had relatively large orifices and which provided a
mechanism to plug the orifice when not in use had the
lowest clogging rate.

Pesticide Application Technology
Four commonly used spray methods were evaluated as part
of an on-going research project on pesticide application
technology. These included 1) a low-volume ground
sprayer (70 gpa); 2) a high-volume ground sprayer (550
gpa); 3) a helicopter (17 gpa); and 4) a fixed-wing aircraft
(13 gpa). Off-target drift from these typical citrus spray
applications was quantified. Drift deposits on the ground,
as well as airborne drift were monitored at several locations
downwind of spray application.
All four types of spray equipment produced substantial
amount of drift-prone droplets that could be detected as far
as 640 ft. from the edge of the test grove. Drift deposit on
the ground was maximum with the fixed-wing aircraft and
was 2.4 times that of the low-volume ground sprayer. On
the other hand, the low-volume ground sprayer produced
maximum airborne drift which was 2.6 times that of the
high-volume ground sprayer. As much as 22% of applied
material was airborne at 50 ft. from the grove and de-
creased to 2% at the 640 ft. location. However, maximum
ground deposit at 50 feet was about 6% and sharply
decreased at farther locations. More than 70% of drift
originated from spraying the last two rows of the trees.
Results revealed that of these types, there is probably no
driftless spray equipment. Not spraying the last rows
downwind may have the greatest impact on drift reduction.
Drift control is of major importance in reducing quantity of

improved design of pesticide delivery systems will be

Cooking Procedures for Lean Beef
Recently, the amount of fat in beef is being reduced either
by the removal of all outside fat or the use of grades with
low fat such as U.S. Select. Since fat in meat aids tender-
ness, juiciness and flavor, many consumers have asked if
lean beef should be cooked with different procedures than
the fatter Choice beef. Using typical cooking procedures
including broiling, pan frying, roasting and braising, the
tenderness, juiciness and flavor was compared among
various cuts from both Choice and Select beef, with and
without all outside fat removed.
Except for the steak cuts, the taste of beef was not different
between grades when cooked by similar methods. Steaks
from Choice carcasses were more tender than those from
Select carcasses. Thus, leaner beef (Select) can be cooked
in a similar fashion as fatter beef (Choice). Additionally, it
was found that marination prior to pan broiling or braising
increased taste attributes, and that braising (moist cookery)
reduced juiciness of the meat. As expected, the more well
done the meat, the less tender and juicy it will be regard-
less if it is lean or fat.

High Pressure Carbon Dioxide Applied to Food
Processing
Killing microorganisms that cause spoilage and illness and
inactivating undesirable enzymes are first priorities in
maintaining a safe and high quality food supply. Tradi-
tionally, this has been accomplished by heating. However,
high temperatures cause undesirable flavor, color and
texture changes in some foods. Carbon dioxide was used as
an alternative to heat.
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC C02) was applied to
orange juice (OJ) to inactivate pectinesterase (an enzyme
causing cloud loss) and to reduce the number of microor-
ganisms by 99.9%. This was accomplished without
changing the flavor of fresh squeezed OJ and without
adding or removing anything from the juice. SC C02 can
also be used in citrus processing in citrus oil fractionation,
lemon oil extraction, and orange juice debittering. SC
C02 was also applied to other foods important to Florida.
With shrimp, for example, SC C02 was used to retard or
eliminate the formation of black spots.


The work demonstrated that many other foods such as
mushrooms, apples, grapes, lobster, etc., could be processed
to increase shelf-life and decrease quality deterioration by
inactivating another enzyme, polyphenoloxidase. Cur-
rendy, work is progressing towards removing saturated fats
and cholesterol from ground beef by SC C02.

Cholesterol Levels in Older Americans
Blood lipid values were determined on 3 separate occasion
values over a 3-month period in healthy 60- to 79-year-old
subjects. Total cholesterol values and high density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were significantly higher in
females (n=24) than in the males (n=23). Low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was also higher in the
females, but the difference did not reach statistical signifi-
cance in this study.
The average total cholesterol was 224 41 mg/dl in
females and 200 40 in males. It was found that the
blood lipid values in many individuals showed large
variations (mean = 7% for total cholesterol and 12% for
HDL cholesterol) from one observation period to the next.
For instance, the total cholesterol value in one individual
differed by 25% during the study, without a change in diet
or exercise. In some individuals, however, the values were
essentially identical at each sampling period.
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)
suggests that the total cholesterol value of 200 mg/dl be
considered the "cut-point" for the upper limit of normal for
adult Americans. It was concluded first that since the
individuals in this study were all healthy with no history of
heart disease, it seems likely that the NCEP guideline may
not be applicable to older people. The stress and worry
elderly people suffer when they learn that their "choles-
terol number" is greater than 200 could be alleviated
somewhat if the general public and scientific community
realized that cholesterol levels normally do increase with
age.
Secondly, individual variation in values may be large;,
therefore a single determination of blood cholesterol
should not be used for classification into "normal" or
"abnormal" levels. Two or more determinations over a
period of several weeks or months should be used to
determine the mean blood lipid values.

Concentration of Orange Juice

scheme to utilize the cold pasteurization capability of the
membrane separation technology has been developed,
combining water removal capability of the existing citrus
evaporator technology. This combined technology enables
the production of a less heated juice concentrate, which
when reconstituted yields a chilled juice without the
undesirable "cooked" flavor.
Aroma constituents are conserved by this technology
because the process, unlike the present distillation process,
requires no heat which could degrade sensitive flavor
components. The method studied works as follows:
Aromas are stripped from the juice in the evaporator and
sent to the essence unit in the normal manner. Then,
instead of being rectified and concentrated by distillation,
the dilute, condensed stream is driven through a mem-
brane under pressure. The membrane selectively prevents
the passage of desirable flavor constituents, while allowing
passage of water, the major component of the process
stream.
The product can be concentrated approximately 100-fold
and is at least as good as the product made by distillation.
Since no heat is required, the process also has the potential
to use about 1/3 the amount of energy of distillation.

Beta Carotene Levels in Citrus
It has recently been found that new varieties of red
grapefruit such as Star Ruby, Ray Ruby and Flame contain
elevated amounts of beta carotene. Studies show that the
color-producing compounds of these varieties contain more
than twice the beta carotene of other varieties. Medical
reports indicate that people consuming foods rich in beta
carotene have a lower risk of developing certain types of
cancer and heart disease. Red grapefruit are comparable
dietary sources for this compound with green leafy veg-
etables, the richest known sources.

FOREST SCIENCES
A Partnership with Industry for Basic
Research on Forest Productivity
Department of Forestry, USDA-Forest Service and forest
industry scientists have become partners at the University
of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences in a
search for fundamental biological mechanisms and
processes which could significantly enhance the growth of
trees and the productivity of Southern pine forests. Over
the past 30 years, forest managers and scientists have
significantly improved the productivity of Southern
pinelands through applied research on silvicultural


practices, genetic improvement and pest management.
Increased forest productivity has reached a plateau, and
new knowledge on fundamental biological mechanisms
and processes is required to make additional gains.
The partnership has initiated research in three integrated
working groups: soil water and nutrient relations, carbon
assimilation and allocation, and disease resistance. Re-
search projects bridge aspects of biotechnology, physiology,
mycorrhizae, genetics, disease resistance, soils and silvicul-
ture. Laboratory, greenhouse and field experiments employ
common genetic material showing good or poor perfor-
mance for growth-related traits.
Studies include: the role of mycorrhizae in genotypic
growth responses; mechanisms controlling root initiation
and exudates; the effects of nutrient levels on basic
physiological processes; role of cytokinins in carbon
partitioning, disease defense mechanisms their elicitors,
associated genes and effects of changing environment; gene
expression as related to tree age; and the role of canopy
structure and dynamics on light use efficiency and biomass
production.
Given the projected demands for wood (and non-timber
values) on the Southern pine forests during the next
decade, the productivity of these woodlands must be
increased.

Changes in Rain Acidity Appear Unlikely in
Florida Pine Forests
Rain acidity has increased 13% from pH 4.87 in 1978 to
pH 4.73 in 1989 in north-central Florida. The annual rate
of change was not statistically significant. Runoff from a
pine-cypress flatwoods watershed remained unchanged at
pH 3.88, suggesting no effect of the change in rain acidity.
These findings have been highlighted in the 1990 annual
report of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program.
The pine-cypress flatwoods watershed with sandy soils
initially showed a slight gain of all nutrients coming in
with rain and leaving with runoff, uncommon to water-
sheds elsewhere because of the poor sandy soils. In later
years the bases showed a net loss, probably because of aging
of the forest. Operational annual fertilization of young
pine plantations with protective buffer zones showed a
delay of three years before some nutrient increases were
detectable in stormflow. This suggested a very slow
movement in shallow ground water rather than in surface
runoff.

Effects of Global Change Evaluated for Pine
Forests
We have developed a slash pine simulation model that has
been used to evaluate potential effects of climate change
and increased atmospheric CO2. Simulations indicate that
pine growth would decrease significantly with increased
temperatures. Increased growth under elevated CO2 could
balance the decline, however. The extreme nutrient
limitation on typical slash pine sites could limit the
response to CO2.
Climate scenarios based on three different general circula-
tion models (NCAR Community Climate Model,
Goddard Institute of Space Studies, and United Kingdom
Meteorological Office) have been developed in collabora-
tion with scientists at Penn State University. An entirely
new approach to simulating climate change, based on an
analysis of synoptic climatology, is being investigated and
applied to this problem.

INSECT AND WEED SCIENCES
Management of the Sweetpotato Whitefly and
Associated Disorders and Diseases on
Vegetables
The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), remains
the most important pest of Florida's tomato industry.
Plastic soil mulch sprayed with aluminum, yellow or orange
paint resulted in fewer alighting adults of the sweetpotato
whitefly, delayed increase in densities of whitefly
immatures and delayed infection with geminivirus on
tomato relative to white plastic mulch. Resistance to the
sweetpotato whitefly in selected germplasm of wild tomato
species appeared related to density and stickiness of
glandular trichomes on leaf surfaces.
Weeds and crops were surveyed for the second year for the
sweetpotato whitefly and its hymenopterous parasitoids in
west-central, southwest and south Florida. Whitefly
immatures were sampled on 18 weed species and 12 crop
species. The most abundant parasitoid species include
Encasia nigricephala, E.tabacivora and Eretmocerous sp. A
species of hymenopterous parasitoid from Puerto Rico was
released at sites in Hillsborough, Manatee, Collier and
Dade Counties. At least ten predator species were ob-
served attacking the sweetpotato whitefly in tomato.
Chrysoperla rufilabris, a lacewing, readily fed upon the
immature lifestages in the laboratory and did not demon-
strate a preference for aphids over the sweetpotato white-
fly.
At least 20 insecticides or insecticide combinations,
including registered and experimental products, were
evaluated in field trials on tomato for control of the


sweetpotato whitefly. Certain petroleum oil products were
evaluated in the field on tomato and found to delay the
geminivirus transmitted by the sweetpotato whitefly.

Pasteuria penetrans Isolates
Six different isolates of the Pasteuria penetrans group of
obligate nematode- parasitic bacteria were isolated from
five different species of phytoparasitic nematodes in
bermudagrass fairways in southern Florida. One year
greenhouse study suggests that one isolate from the sting
nematode, Belonolaimus ongicaudatus, can suppress sting
nematode densities. Several of the other isolates of this
bacteria may also have promise for the management of
phytoparasitic nematodes in perennial ecosystems such as
lawns, golf courses, and landscapes.

Control of Termites Affecting Structures
A non-chemical control alternative was developed to
prevent invasion by subterranean termites to structures.
Laboratory and field tests indicated that soil barriers
composed of particles in the 1.18-2.36 mm size effectively
shielded penetration by both the native subterranean
termites Reticuitermes spp. The results suggested that
placement of such uniform size particle barriers prior to the
construction of a house may provide a sufficient protection
from soilborne subterranean termites.
A slow-acting toxicant bait was applied in three field
colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite located at
the urban southeastern Florida. One year after bait
application, foraging populations of three colonies that
received baits were reduced 65-98%. The results demon-
strated that a toxicant bait can be used to suppress foraging
populations of subterranean termite colonies and hence
reduce their damage potential.

With the expansion of citrus in Southwest Florida has
come problems of tree-girdling subterranean termites,
Reticulitemes flavipes (Kollar). The problem occurs
primarily in areas recently cleared of pine trees and
palmettos to prepare for planting new citrus groves.
Scientists at the Southwest Florida Research and Educa-
tion Center have also found a fungus rot, Phyophthora sp.,
in the soil, roots, and/or bark of the damaged trees.

Results of a field trial in a commercial grove showed
significant protection to young trees when the insecticide
chlorpyrifos (Lorsban 4E or 15G) and the fungicide
metalaxyl (Ridomil 2E) were used either alone or in
combination in the irrigation water applied around the
trees at the time of planting. Some tree toxicity was
observed on Lorsban 4E treated trees while 15G appeared
safe to the trees. The association of reduced termite
activity around trees treated with Ridomil 2E only suggests
an interesting relationship between the occurrence of
Phytophthora and termite selection of living trees.

Malaria in South America
Malaria in South America, which afflicts approximately 15
million persons annually, is transmitted by Anopheles from
no less than five species complexes. Frequently, vector
species can not be differentiated morphologically from
non-vector species. Now, scientists from the University of
Florida, in collaboration with USDA/ARS, have pin-
pointed DNA fragments that serve as species-specific
markers. Molecular taxonomy coupled with behavioral
and ecological investigations should lead to refinements in
Anopheles and, hence, malaria control.

St. Louis Encephalitis Outbreak
The largest epidemic of St. Louis encephalitis virus ever
recorded in Florida occurred during the summer and
autumn of 1990. The 1990 epidemic was anticipated
because of an ongoing field surveillance program developed
and run by researchers at the Florida Medical Entomology
Laboratory in Vero Beach.
The FMEL surveillance program began in 1983, and
through baseline data collected in Indian River County
and other Florida counties since then, the epidemic threat
of 1990 was recognized four weeks before the appearance of
the first human case. This allowed us important time to
meet with personnel from mosquito control, public health
and the media and to alert the public of the threat of
encephalitis transmission. The resulting publicity undoubt-
edly reduced the number of human infections of SLE virus
in Indian River County.

MICROBIAL SCIENCES
Increasing the Antiviral Activity of Interferon
Diseases such as cancer are regulated in part by biological
response modifiers. The interferons (IFN) are biological
response modifiers crucial to the body's defense. IFNs can
turn on immune cells so that they make antibodies and
fight foreign organisms. IFNs can also inhibit division of
tumors or make cells resistant to viruses.
A product of the bacterium Staphylococus aureus, staphy-
lococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), is one of the most common
causes of food poisoning. A significant number of patients
suffer from malaise, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The
immune system may play a role in these gastric effects of
SEA.
Our current effort is directed toward examination of the
structural basis for the potent IFN-inducing properties of
SEA. One approach to determining the structure of the
SEA IFN-inducing site, is the use of synthetic peptides that
correspond to various amino acid sequences of SEA located
on the surface of the molecule. Such peptides could
compete with SEA for its receptor on the cells and thus
modulate its activity.
We have identified two regions on the SEA molecule
which allow it to bind to cells of the immune system.
Synthetic peptides corresponding to a broad region in the
N-terminus and a second region, amino acids 121-149,
further in the molecule can block SEA binding. Since
SEA needs to bind to have an effect, a peptide which
blocks binding may block SEA's toxic effects. Conversely,
alterations in amino acid sequence may facilitate binding
of an SEA synthetic peptide, leading to increased produc-
tion of IFN. This increased IFN could then help fight
tumors or viruses.
Since IFN has many functions, we also asked the question,
what portion of the IFN molecule is responsible for its
different cellular effects? We have found that the first 39
amino acids of the IFN molecule are involved in its
antiviral activity. In fact, we can increase the ability of
IFN to bind to its receptor, which is necessary for function,
by substitution of particular amino acids; for example,
substitution of phenylalanine for tyrosine at position 14
enhances binding 30-fold.
At the same time, we are expressing the gene for IFN in a
unique insect system that closely resembles human gene
expression and allows for production of large quantities of
our modified IFN molecules. Large amounts of IFN,
possessing greater activity, may allow for better treatment
of virally-induced cancers, and especially viral diseases
such as AIDS.

Turning Trash into a Resource for a Cleaner
Environment
Environmentally safe methods for the disposal of garbage,
growing dependence on petroleum, and a sagging economy
continue to pose major dilemmas for Florida. Over 16
million tons of municipal solid waste are generated
annually in Florida. Three-fourths of this material is
delivered to landfills and consists of a combination of
paper, yard trash, wood, and food residues all collectively
called biomass. Biomass is composed of approximately 50%
cellulose, 25% hemicellulose and 25% lignin.
Much of the technology to convert cellulose to ethanol
using enzymes and microorganisms has been available for
over 20 years although the costs of such conversion has
prohibited development. L. O. Ingram and his co-workers
in the Department of Microbiology and Cell Science have
genetically engineered a new bacterium which can now
convert the sugars found in hemicellulose to ethanol
increasing the overall yield of the process and eliminate a
major waste stream. Residual lignin can be burned to
provide all the energy needed for plant operation and
ethanol purification.
The new U.F. invention was assigned landmark patent
number 5,000,000 by the Department of Commerce.
Exclusive license to this U.F. technology has been
purchased by BioEnergy International (Gainesville) for
development and sublicense.
Ethanol produced by this process from landfill waste is
estimated to have a sales price well below a dollar per
gallon. This recently patented invention utilizes landfill
materials, pulp and paper waste, and agricultural residues to
provide over 10% of Florida's automotive fuel needs as
ethanol.
In the Midwest, over 1 billion gallons of ethanol are
produced annually from corn and blended with gasoline to
provide cleaner fuels with reduced automotive emissions.
This represents only 1% of the gasoline burned in the U.S.
each year. Ethanol production from Florida waste materi-
als could exceed the total current production from corn
while cleaning the environment. Three-fold this amount
of ethanol or other oxygenated fuel additives will be
required to meet the 1992 goals set by the 1990 Clean Air
Act. Over 20 million gallons of ethanol are blended to
produce premium gasoline in Florida each year, and the
ethanol is purchased from major Midwestern producers.
The manufacturing of this ethanol and further expansion
of ethanol production in Florida should provide a strong
economic stimulus, retaining dollars in-state which would
otherwise be lost to other states or countries and creating a
new, model industry. Successful demonstration and
implementation of this new technology should also reduce
current pressure for oil exploration along our coasts.
Virtually every state in the country could produce a


portion of its automotive fuel needs from agricultural
wastes and landfill materials.

New Gene of Plant Pathogenesis
Bacteria pathogenic for plants (e.g., Erwinia herbicola,
Pseudomonas cepacia, and Xanthomonas capestris) possess
two pathways for phenylalanine biosynthesis. The key
enzyme of one pathway, prephenate dehydratase, is located
in the cytoplasm where virtually all enzymes of biosynthe-
sis are located. The key enzyme of the second pathway,
cyclohexadienyl dehydratase, is located in the periplasm
and is readily released by aromatic shock.
The gene has been cloned, and sequencing revealed a
signal sequence encoding a 25-residue peptide which
directs transport of the newly synthesized enzyme to the
periplasm. Phenylalanine produced in the periplasm may
be dedicated to a role in fimbriae formation. Such fimbriae
are essential for adhesion and pathogenesis.

Bacterial Spot of Tomato
This is one of the major disease problems in Florida.
Detection of the pathogen, Xanthomonas campestris pv.
vesicatoria, when present in low populations, is essential for
maintaining disease- free plant material. Serological assays
are one method to test for the presence of the bacterium.
The development of monoclonal antibodies had made
serological assays more accurate. Several monoclonal
antibodies have been developed which react with strains of
the pathogen but not with several other strains of
Xanthomonas. Two monoclonal antibodies which have
reaction profiles that correlate with the major geographical
and physiological subdivisions of X. c. vesicatoria are
currently being used for characterization of bacterial spot
strains from around the world.

NATURAL RESOURCES
Forecasting Regional Groundwater Levels
using Geostatistical and Time Series Modeling
Techniques
As a part of their responsibility to evaluate and manage
water resources, regional water management agencies must
develop models capable of forecasting groundwater levels
in space and time. Conventional models of regional
groundwater movement require detailed and accurate









1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 11


measurements of aquifer parameters to produce reliable
results. Unfortunately, regional estimates of aquifer
parameters are often quite uncertain due to the sparseness,
spatial variability, and unknown reliability of available
measurements.
As a result, groundwater flow models can also produce
highly uncertain results. Stochastic modeling techniques,
on the other hand, can be utilized to provide short-term
forecasts of groundwater levels on a regional basis. The
reliability of these forecasts may be assessed directly by
examining model prediction variances. Model forecasts,
together with forecast confidence intervals, can then be
used to make more informed water resource management
decisions.
In this research project, classical time series modeling and
geostatistical techniques were combined to develop a
regional stochastic model capable of providing short-term
forecasts of groundwater level (with forecast confidence
intervals) throughout the St. Johns River Water Manage-
ment District in Florida. Analysis of model predictions
showed that 1- to 6-month lead forecasts could be pre-
dicted within approximately 0.5 to 1.0 feet.
In the next phase of this project we will use the regional
stochastic model to develop a prototype optimal
feedforward/feedback control algorithm designed to
maintain target groundwater levels by manipulating local
permitted groundwater pumpage during periods of rainfall
shortage.

Florida LAKEWATCH
Hundreds of volunteers venture out on their lakes every
month to participate in the Florida LAKEWATCH
Program. Trained volunteers get water samples, take
measurements and collect data in order to establish a long-
term data base on Florida's lakes. Without volunteer
involvement, gathering these data would be much too
costly.
Florida has over 7,700 lakes greater than 10 acres in size
and probably over 100,000 smaller water bodies. Detailed
scientific information exists for fewer than 10% of them.
Once obtained, data can be used to preserve and protect
lakes, furnishing an early warning system for potentially
harmful situations while still in the beginning stages. The
Florida LAKEWATCH Program also provides citizens with
educational materials to foster a better understanding of
their lakes and provides a vehicle by which concerned
citizens can work directly with professionals to develop
scientifically sound management programs.

Ecology of Lake Okeechobee, Florida
Recurrent media coverage of blue-green algal blooms and
eutrophication in Lake Okeechobee manifests the intense
public concern over the ecological well-being of this
critical water resource. There is a clear need to better
understand the effects that man-induced changes in the
environment are having on the lake's biota (including
plants, fish and birds) and water quality.
With this knowledge effective management strategies can
be developed and implemented. This concern precipitated
a five-year grant award to the University of Florida to
examine the ecology of the lake.
Our laboratory's role in this project is to examine the
impact of critical environmental factors, anthropogenic
and natural, on the community of submerged algae and
plants. These communities are the base of the food chain,
and to a large extent dictate the overall environmental
quality of this lake.

Genetic Conservation of Queen Conch
The queen conch is a large, marine shellfish gastropodd)
that has significant economic and cultural value in the
Florida Keys and the Caribbean Sea area. A genetic study
of queen conch (Strombus gigas) populations in the Florida
Keys has revealed a dynamic yet relatively homogeneous
population structure. IFAS researchers, with the support of
the Florida Department of Natural Resources, used
biochemical methods to estimate, over a four-year period,
genetic variation among natural populations of queen
conch throughout the Florida Keys.
Populations throughout the Keys were found to be very
similar genetically with random fluctuations in gene
frequencies among years approximately equal to the
variation among localities. Biologists and resource
managers for the Florida Department of Natural Resources
are using these genetic results to help rehabilitate the
queen conch populations in the Florida Keys through
development of nursery hatcheries and artificial
propagation.

Wildlife Diversity in Urban Landscapes
Preserving native wildlife diversity in rapidly urbanizing
areas is an extremely difficult challenge since urban
development sprawling across the landscape modifies
ecological functions of ecosystems. Alteration of natural
habitats is the major threat to the continued existence of
endangered species. The extinction process is complete
when no more areas are suitable in size or quality to
support self-sustaining populations.









12 1991 Selected Research Accomplishments


Although some measures are available to protect remain-
ing habitats for endangered species, mechanisms that
ensure recovery of species are lacking. The best approach
to preventing extinctions of species and providing the
needs of growing human populations is to integrate wildlife
needs into comprehensive land use plans.
A research project conducted by the Department of
Wildlife and Range Sciences is determining the most
critical wildlife requirements in hardwood hammock
forests. Preliminary data have shown that larger urban
forest patches generally support more species. Tree density
and the width of long, linear forests also are directly related
to wildlife species diversity. Some species are less tolerant
to development than others and can be used an indicators
of habitat quality in urban forests.
Specific data from these studies have provided the basis for
land use decisions made by planners, developers, regulatory
agencies, and property owners.

To Feed or not Feed White-tailed Deer in
Florida!
The white-tailed deer is the country's No. 1 wildlife game
species, accounting for more than a third of the total
recreational hunting effort in the U.S. This effort trans-
lates to over 100 million hunter-days for deer and an
expenditure of $5 billion annually.
Florida sportsmen are among the most avid of deer hunters,
as they spend 70% of their total hunting effort, or about
2.5 million hunter-days in pursuit of the white-tailed deer
each year. Accordingly, there has been an accelerated
trend by Florida sportsmen to lease tracts of private land
for deer hunting and to manage these tracts for either
greater abundance or larger trophy animals. To this end,
millions of dollars are spent in providing supplemental
foods, usually corn or pelleted rations, to free-ranging deer.
But are such supplemental feeding programs effective for
these purposes? Research on a herd of radio-instrumented
deer that were supplied high-protein pellets at rates of 1.5
and 3 tons per square mile per year ($20 and $40 cost per
herd deer, respectively) in pine flatwoods habitat of north
Florida revealed that supplemental feeding is not an
effective management technique. Why?
Despite the availability of the supplemental ration, the
deer utilized the extra groceries very sparingly. Thus,
managing a herd by the provision of supplemental feeding
in Florida appears both biologically ineffective and cost-
prohibitive.

Reducing Phosphorus Losses from Dairies in
the Lake Okeechobee Watershed
Lake Okeechobee is the 4th largest lake in the United
States with a surface area of 1890 km2. Aquatic weed and
algae problems are threatening the value of the lake for
recreational uses such as fishing and hunting. Recent
studies point to phosphorus as the nutrient responsible for
degradation of water quality in the lake.
Additional studies indicated that tributary watersheds with
large numbers of dairy cattle are primary contributors to
the phosphorus loading of the lake. The State of Florida
has passed a "DAIRY RULE" which mandates dairy
farmers in the watershed to reduce and eliminate, where
possible, phosphate runoff from their farms.
Over the years, considerable amounts of phosphorus from
animal manures have accumulated in the soils around the
dairies. High amounts of water-soluble phosphorus were
found in the soils immediately surrounding the milking
barns. Leaching of this phosphorus may be a significant
source of phosphorus loss from the dairies. Perimeter
ditches installed around the milking parlor/feeding area
intercept this phosphorus. The runoff collected from the
perimeter ditches, and the phosphorus it contains, is now
being applied to crops via center pivot irrigation systems
on many dairy farms. The crops are being feed to the cattle
so the phosphorus is being recycled on the farm and losses
from the farm are being reduced.

Soil Reactions of Complex Pollutant Mixtures
Properties of organic pollutants, such as solubility, soil
retention and transport, are usually characterized in
aqueous solutions and with a single organic pollutant.
However, environmental contamination problems com-
monly involve complex mixtures of chemicals, including
organic solvents. The need to understand the environ-
mental consequences associated with complex mixtures
and to deal with these consequences involves developing
theoretical approaches and laboratory data characterizing
the soil reactions of complex mixtures.
This work has application in the definition, prediction and
remediation of soil and groundwater contamination
problems. High concentrations of organic cosolvents
decrease soil retention of organic pollutants at waste
disposal/spill sites and transport the pollutants further than
predicted from aqueous-based transport data.
While this effect can magnify environmental problems,
wise application of the principles involved can also assist
in alleviating existing problems. For example, removal of
contaminated soils from a disposal/spill site and extraction
with solvent mixtures (so-called "solvent washing") is one
remediation technique that is receiving considerable

attention. The results of this work should be of direct use
in selection of the appropriate solvent mixtures to extract
organic contaminants of interest and in predicting mobility
of contaminants from waste disposal or spill sites.

BMPs for Phosphorus Loading Reductions in
the Everglades Agricultural Area
Results of a University of Florida, Institute of Food and
Agricultural Science study showed there are farming
practices that could help to reduce phosphorus (P) loads
and concentrations in agricultural drainage water. How-
ever, it became apparent that the baseline P loading and
concentration levels in the Everglades Agricultural Area
(EAA) are naturally high due to the drainage of the
organic soils. Nutrient balances showed that, in spite of
high fertilization levels, P loads to the study sites in
irrigation water and rainfall were generally higher than P
loads leaving a farm in drainage water during 1989. In
fact, the EAA could be a net assimilator of P. However,
phosphorus concentrations and loads were extremely high
during individual events for particular farming conditions,
indicating the potential for reductions.
It is apparent that controlling these major P loading
periods will lead to enhanced water quality in the EAA.
Potential BMPs focus on enhanced water and nutrient
management. Some of the BMPs deal with short-term
impacts while others focus more on the long-term.
Generally, it is agreed that it will take some time for the
effects of BMP implementation to be fully represented by
drainage water P reductions.

Developing a Grass for Florida Range
There are about 3.9 million acres of range in the 26
counties south of Ocala where two-thirds of Florida's beef
cattle are found. Like range in western U.S., Florida range
is important for cattle production. Because Florida is a
peninsula with unique conditions, however, our range
grasses are unique also.
This means that Florida cattlemen could not introduce a
new, more nutritious grass from some other region because
that grass would not be adapted to our hot-wet summers,
cool-dry winters or acid-infertile sandy soils. So, how can
improvements be made in range grass quality? Try to
improve some of Florida's own grasses.
Creeping bluestem (called creeping because it spreads by
underground stems or rhizomes) is a relative of little
bluestem, a valuable range grass found elsewhere in the
U.S. We collected about 200 types of creeping bluestem


from the Georgia/Florida state line to the Everglades and
evaluated them for digestibility and seed production at the
Ona Research Center in Hardee County.
Big differences were found in digestibility, which can be
roughly thought of as the percentage of nutrients that
cattle retain after eating the grass. For example, our plants
ranged from 38 to 64% total digestible nutrients (TDN).
In earlier research, we found that common creeping
bluestem was about 45% TDN at a similar stage of matu-
rity. Out of 200 plants, 37 were considered good seed
producers with about 20 lb/A of seed.
Although this doesn't sound like much, at 1.6 million seed/
lb, 1 lb/A of seed results in 38 seed/sq. ft. Since this
original collection, we have taken our best seed-producing
and highest quality plants and allowed them to cross
pollinate. Seed of those crosses have been collected,
planted, and new plants evaluated. After repeating this
process we hope a new type can be developed which should
have the combined good characteristics of the parents.

Reclamation of Waste Lands from Phosphate
Mining
Clay railings, one of the waste products from Florida
phosphate mining, occupy about 100,000 acres. Clays
contain no phytotoxic materials, are high in plant nutri-
ents, and average about 50% solids. Until recently these

clays had little known value.
Studies conducted over a 5-year period with grain, biomass,
and forage crops indicated dry matter yields, forage and
grain quality, and plant nutrient concentrations were equal
or higher than most of the same crops grown on unmined
soils. Alfalfa dry yields averaged over 7 tons/A on the clay
tailings, and they generally do not grow on unmined
central Florida soils because of periodic excessive moisture.
Crops analyzed for radium 226 revealed that concentra-
tions varied between crops and cultivars of the same crop.
However, radium 226 was generally low in all crops.
Studies indicate these waste lands are a fertile resource that
can be used for grain, biomass, and forage production.

PLANT PRODUCTION AND
PROTECTION
Predicting Peanut Growth and Yield
Computer prediction of peanut growth and yield may
become a management tool for peanut producers. A
computer model named PNUTGRO has been developed
by agronomists and agricultural engineers and is presently









14 1991 Selected Research Accomplishments


being tested in producer fields in Florida to determine its
utility for producers.
Information, such as daily weather recorded by portable
weather stations in grower fields, soils information, varietal
traits, and grower management practices, are fed into the
PNUTGRO model. The model then predicts the daily
growth of the crop until final yield is predicted at maturity.
Growers could benefit from model outputs: canopy cover,
pod number, crop developmental stage, and pod maturity,
in order to help manage the crop and schedule harvest
timing. The predicted soil water balance could be used to
help evaluate the short-term scheduling of irrigation or the
long term risks and benefits from irrigation (over 20 to 50
years of historical weather).
User-friendly hooks into the model are presently being
developed to allow input of up-to-date scouting informa-
tion on diseases, insects, and other pests, as well as proce-
dures to estimate the amount of yield loss from those pest
problems. Past experience indicates that peanut growers
are attaining the yield potential predicted by PNUTGRO
only when they follow good crop rotations. On-farm
testing of PNUTGRO will continue for another year so
researchers and extension specialists can evaluate how well
the model works in producer fields and what improvements
may be necessary.

Postproduction Longevity of Flowering Potted
Plants
The consumer often judges quality in flowering potted
plants by how well the plant performs indoors. Varieties of
poinsettia and chrysanthemum with increased interior
longevity and less leaf and bud drop have now been
identified. In addition, reducing the fertilizer level
throughout the crop or stopping fertilizer during the final 2
- 3 weeks of production for chrysanthemum and poinsettia
increased longevity by 7 14 days.
Improved longevity in these crops has been related to
flower respiration and, to a limited extent, with carbohy-
drate levels. Cultural modification developed in the
postproduction program at the University of Florida which
lead to improvement in flowering potted plant longevity
are being incorporated into production systems in the
United States and Europe and used by retail buyers and
interiorscapers to increase interior performance.

Micropropagation Systems for Native Wetland
and Water Garden Plant Production
This research addresses the need to develop efficient
micropropagation (tissue culture propagation) procedures


to help Florida's aquatic plant nursery industry meet
increased demand for quality disease-free native wetland
and water garden plants. A complete micropropagation
procedure has been developed for production of the native
wetland plant Pontederia cordata.
In 1990, 4,000 micropropagated Pontederia were
outplanted in five urban pond sites in central Florida. In
comparison to field-collected Pontederia, micropropagated
plants exhibited better establishment and growth and were
more highly branched. Several hardy and tropical water
lily hybrids have been successfully established in sterile
culture.
For one tropical hybrid, Nymphaea 'Daubeniana', plantlet
regeneration has also been achieved. This study represents
the first report of the successful establishment of water
lilies in sterile culture. These results indicate that
micropropagation can be used to help Florida's aquatic
plant growers meet increased market demand for native
wetland and water garden plant species.

Summer Weed Control in Turf
Previous postemergence control of the worst summer
annual broadleaf weed, prostrate spurge (Euphorbia spp.), in
fine textured bermudagrass required multiple application of
the phenoxy herbicides which resulted in unacceptable turf
injury and inconsistent control. Metsulfuronmethyl (Trade
Names: DMC Weed Control or Escort) has demonstrated,
through UF research, to provide complete control with one
application without any significant turf injury. Further-
more, the use rate of metsulfuron is less than 1 ounce/acre
while the normal use-rate of the phenoxy herbicides is 2 to
4 gallons per acre. This provides bermudagrass managers
with complete spurge control without multiple applications
of higher use-rate herbicides.

Improving Fertilization Efficiency of Container
Woody Plants
Increased concerns for ground and surface water contami-
nation have resulted in the evaluation of current fertiliza-
tion practices used in commercial nurseries. Efficient
fertilization practices should result in maximum growth
and utilization of applied fertilizer without sacrificing plant
growth.
One approach to improving fertilizer utilization is to ensure
that optimal rates and application frequencies are used A
series of studies were conducted in which container-grown
Yaupon holly plants were fertilized once with a commonly
used slow-release fertilizer or fertilized one, two, or four









1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 15


times weekly with minimal amounts of a solution fertilizer
delivered to each container.
At the end of the 26-week growing period, 2.5 grams of
nitrogen had been applied per container for the slow-
release and one solution fertilizer treatment; some plants
received less nitrogen from solution fertilizer than applied
with the slow-release fertilizer. Plants that received 1.5 or
2.5 grams of solution nitrogen per container had compa-
rable growth to plants that received 2.5 grams of nitrogen
per container from the slow release fertilizer.
The number of applications per week did not make a
difference but, the amount of fertilizer applied can be
reduced 40% with out sacrificing growth. Approximately
30% of the applied nitrogen was either utilized by the
plant or remained in the container medium for these
treatments.

Making Sweeter Citrus
Recent efforts have focused on plant genes that are
modulated by tissue sugar status. Such responses were
previously known only in bacteria and yeast, where they
were considered an essential mechanism for adjusting
metabolism relative to available substrates. In higher
plants, this gene expression also has the potential to affect
distribution of C resources among the many diverse cells
and tissues.
We have discovered two genes that are modulated by sugar
levels. These encode an enzyme considered by many to be
critical to import and utilization of sucrose. Sucrose
synthase (despite its name) generally degrades sucrose in
vivo and has long been associated with sucrose entry into
developing structures.
In citrus, we have found high activities in young fruit, and
especially in vascular bundles adjacent to rapidly expand-
ing juice sacs. We have recently characterized responses of
sucrose synthase gene expression to sugars. Our current
goals are to determine the physiological consequences of
this up- and down-regulation, and to expand on associated
aspects of sugar-modulated gene expression.

Breeding Peaches for Tree Ripe Flavor
Traditional fresh market peaches are harvested immature
in order to have extended shelf life for long distance
shipping and marketing. A slow ripening gene exists in
the processing peach which gives firmness to be harvested
mature ripe while retaining firmness through the canning
process. The processed peach varieties lack red skin color
and flesh flavor, ripen in late summer, and are adapted to
temperate climatic zones.


We have initiated peach breeding to combine the slow
ripening gene into the dessert-type peaches for fresh
market. We have obtained selections having the slow
ripening gene combined with outstanding flavor, attractive
external color, early ripening and subtropical adaptation.
Fruit size in these selections has been medium, but pros-
pects are excellent for realizing the breeding goals. No
major obstacles have been encountered and the first
varieties are expected to be released in about 5 years.

Gene Technology to Control Citrus Canker
A pathogenicity gene, pthA, of Xanthomonas citri is
required to elicit symptoms of Asiatic citrus canker disease.
This gene has been cloned by genetic engineering, and
when the canker gene is introduced into other
Xanthomonas strains that are opportunistic on nursery-
grown citrus, these recipient strains become able to induce
Asiatic canker disease. Further characterization of canker
gene pthA revealed that it also causes recipient
Xanthomonas strains to be destroyed by cotton resistance
genes.
A genetic analysis of cotton resistance genes revealed that
one of these genes is particularly able to destroy
Xanthomonas strains carrying the canker gene pthA.
Strains normally able to attack cotton are no longer able, if
they carry pthA. This means that the cotton resistance
gene, if cloned and placed in citrus, could provide long-
lasting resistance to Asiatic citrus canker.
Plant breeders have long searched for strong, "broad
spectrum" resistance genes, but with little success. Never-
theless, cotton breeders have been successful in developing
"immune" cotton lines that have been effective against all
races of Xanthomonas that attack cotton in North America.
The molecular basis for this breeding success is now
becoming clear by the use of genetic engineering.
This provides a strong justification for the effort to clone
the cotton resistance gene for purposes of transfer to citrus.
Such cotton resistance genes, provided they are expressed
properly in citrus, could provide the first non-chemical
control for citrus canker disease. Applications of such
broad-spectrum resistance genes in other plants against
other Xanthomonas diseases seems likely.

Taking the Shock Out of Vegetable Handling
By Analyzing Packing Lines Electronically
Vegetables and fruits experience a number of transfers
during typical harvest, handling and packing operations,
and each of these transfer points has potential to reduce
quality by inflicting mechanical injury such as bruises, cuts,









16 1991 Selected Research Accomplishments


punctures and abrasions. Although Florida produce
packers and packing line equipment manufacturers are
concerned about minimizing injury during handling,
identifying transfer points which can cause these injuries
has been difficult.
Many types of packing lines can now be accurately
analyzed to identify shocks which may cause mechanical
injury. A new data logger, called the Instrumented Sphere,
measures impacts experienced during handling operations.
The "IS" is 3.5 inches in diameter and travels freely over
the packing line with produce of similar size, recording
shocks from each of the impacts that the produce
experience.
The IS was originally developed for analyzing apple
handling systems at the USDA/ARS laboratory at Michi-
gan State University. As part of a collaborative research
project, we have used the IS to document impacts incurred
during handling and packing in five pepper packinghouses,
two mobile field pack units, and five tomato packing-
houses.
At several packinghouses, transfer points with potential to
cause mechanical injury were modified resulting in over
50% reduction in impact levels. We have also found that a
drop of only 2 inches is sufficient to bruise a pepper or
tomato.

Male Sterility in Common Bean
Cytoplasmically inherited male sterility is the basis of Fl
hybrid seed production in many self-pollinating crops.
Sterility is reversed in the Fl hybrids by appropriate
nuclear fertility restoration genes. Using techniques of
molecular genetics, we have verified three different
mechanisms of fertility restoration in cytoplasmically male
sterile Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean). One source is
highly efficient and may have commercial applications.
Cytoplasmically inherited male sterility and nuclear
restoration of fertility is also an excellent model system for
the study of interactions between nuclear and cytoplasmic
genomes in higher plants. We have isolated and character-
ized the gene responsible for cytoplasmic male sterility in
the common bean and can now examine the effects of
nuclear restoration genes on the cytoplasmic gene.

Vegetable Fertilizer Management
Increasing production costs and growing concerns over
environmental pollution have led research into tools that
enable vegetable producers to increase their fertilizer
management skills. Plant analysis for nutrients such as


nitrogen can provide the grower with information on
which to base fertilizer application decisions.
With the increase in use of drip irrigation for vegetables,
growers now have a tool for effectively applying fertilizer to
vegetable crops. Our research shows that analyzing plant
petiole fresh sap for nitrate-nitrogen content can help
guide growers in scheduling nitrogen fertilizer additions to
vegetables. Work with several hand-held in-field testing
kits has provided a nutrient response curve with critical
levels of plant sap nitrate-nitrogen values. The plant sap
test kits enable growers to use the plant as its own indica-
tor of the need for additional nitrogen fertilizer.
The tests can be conducted in the field in a matter of
minutes, allowing growers to make timely adjustments in
nitrogen additions to the crop. Growers using this tool
have found that nitrogen applications can be reduced
significantly compared to their traditional practices, yet
obtain equal or better vegetable production. Making
nitrogen applications more efficient is healthy for the
profit margin and better for the environment.

Commercial Development of an Insect
Pathogenic Fungus
The University of Florida and W. R. Grace have been
actively pursuing the commercial development of the
insect pathogenic fungus, Paecilomyces fumosoroseus
'Apopka'. The initial target pests include whiteflies, thrips
and mites. W. R. Grace has developed a unique and very
promising formulation. Because of the quality of this
formulation, studies have progressed to small scale field
trials in commercial greenhouses. All greenhouse studies
to date have been successful in that high quality market-
able plants were obtained.
Although the results of some studies have been very good,
it is difficult to attribute the success to the fungus. It
appears that we have, in most of the Apopka area, a very
active natural population of parasitic wasps that kill
whiteflies. These parasites moved into our experimental
plots and killed significant numbers of immature whiteflies.
The combination of these wasps and the pathogenic fungus
resulted in plants that were equal in quality or better than
those to which pesticides were applied once or twice a
week.
Our last and most successful experiment was conducted in
a commercial crop of hibiscus. These plants were grown
for several weeks and then cut back to promote branching.
These cuttings generally rooted and were used to start the
next crop. Our fungal applications began shortly after
rooted cuttings were placed in an open sided greenhouse.
We applied fungus weekly for four weeks to half the plants,
and the other half was treated 12 times with the standard
pesticides used for the control of whiteflies.









1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 17


After the experiment, the only plants that could be sold
were those treated with fungus. These results were carried
over into the next crop. When these plants were cut back
to promote branching, the cuttings from the pesticide
treated plants were thrown away and only the fungus
treated cuttings were used to start the next crop. Very high
mortality of the remaining whiteflies on these cuttings was
obtained during the rooting process in an environment
with high relative humidity.

Tomato Breeding and Genetics
Rough blossom scars (RBS) of fresh market tomatoes cause
postharvest breakdown and are one of the main reasons for
rejection of fruit in packinghouses. Yet until recent studies
were carried out by Ph.D. student Jan Bartent, little was
known about genetic and environmental factors affecting
RBS.
Genetic studies indicated scar size is controlled primarily
by additive gene action. Both additive and specific
combining ability were significant, although the former
was more important than the latter. The best method to
reduce RBS is to incorporate nipple-like blossom-end
morphology genes. Allelism tests revealed 3 new genes
which can be used in breeding work. Short term low
temperature treatments induced RBS in developing flowers
about 21 days before anthesis.
This induction treatment should allow for further studies
on the cause of RBS and provide a screening tool for
breeding. Together these results provide a foundation of
information which will allow more efficient breeding of
smooth blossom scars as well as methodology to further
study this phenomenon.

Retractable Shade
Retractable shade supports faster growth of schefflera
(Brassaia actinophyla 'Amate') compared to growth under
stationary shade or without shade. Without shade, growth
is inhibited during the midday hours by excessively high
light intensities (photoinhibition). Under stationary shade,
growth is slower during the early morning and late after-
noon hours by low light intensities.
Retractable shade provides higher light intensities during
the early morning and late afternoon hours, and provides
shade, when needed, during midday hours. Plants grown
under retractable shade were 89% taller after five months
growth compared to plants grown without shade. Without
shade, plants required 9 months to reach a stem height of
60 centimeters, and plants grown under stationary shade
required 6 months. Using retractable shade, plants were 60


centimeters tall in only 5 months. A more uniform growth
habit was produced using retractable shade compared to
stationary shade or no shade.

Lethal Yellowing
Lethal yellowing (LY), is a fast moving, highly destructive
disease of coconut palms known in the Northern Carib-
bean region. The disease thought to be caused by
mycoplasmalike organisms (MLOs) has killed millions of
the native Tall ("Jamaica Tall") coconut palm, and as a
result has virtually eliminated this variety from many
localities including Southeast Florida.
LY continues to spread into new areas, most recently the
Yucatan peninsula of Mexico from where it has the
potential to escape into the Pacific region. African LY-like
diseases are also active in Ghana, Togo, Cameroon,
Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique. Collectively, these
diseases pose the most important threat to global coconut
production.
MLOs implicated as the pathogens causing Caribbean and
African LY have proved to be both elusive and
unculturable. Thus, progress in the equally important areas
of disease detection and diagnosis has been beyond the
reach of available technology. This is now no longer true.
DNA probes recently developed by scientists at the
University of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Research and
Education Center have demonstrated considerable
potential for reliable, sensitive and specific detection of the
Caribbean LY agent. Probes are currently being used to
produce genetic fingerprints of the pathogen for identifica-
tion purposes. Also, cooperative research is under way
with scientists at Rothamstead Experimental Station,
Harpenden, Herts, England to test the capability of probes
to detect the African LY agent, with positive results.
These findings represent a significant first step toward
establishing the identity and relationships between these
pathogens, and in doing so provide information of
fundamental importance to epidemiologists, coconut
breeders and those concerned with plant health and the
international transfer of coconut genetic resources.

higher than seed supplies for this year. It has been shown

that, on a commercial scale, this legume in mixture with
bahiagrass can be grazed severely or moderately without
affecting individual plant persistence.
Perennial, nut producing, forage peanuts are being evalu-
ated in small field plots and under grazing. Of the 13
accessions presently under evaluation, most have persisted
through the first winter and have produced voluntary
plants. A significant step in their use is a new method
developed for harvesting seeds. Highest seed yields have
been estimated to be 800 to 900 pounds per acre.

Oxamyl Controls Corky Ringspot Disease of
Potato
Applications of high rates of the systemic insecticide
oxamyl to potato foliage reduced incidence of corky
ringspot disease. Corky ringspot is a destructive disease of
potato tubers and can cause significant losses in North
Florida's potato crop. It has been controlled with aldicarb
which presently can not be used on this crop.
The disease is caused by tobacco rattle virus transmitted to
potato tubers by stubby root nematodes. Oxamyl appar-
ently controls the disease by preventing transmission of the
virus following translocation of the chemical to the roots.
Observations made in 1991 substantiate similar findings
from experiments completed in 1979-80.

Slow-release Fertilizer Reduces Potential for
Ground Water Contamination
Fertilizer blends containing controlled-release nitrogen
appear to have the potential to become a routine
component of citrus fertilizer programs. These materials
dissolve very slowly, releasing nitrogen over several
months' time. Their use can decrease application costs,
increase nitrogen fertilizer efficiency, and decrease the
potential for ground water contamination.
A 2-year study with young 'Hamlin' orange trees showed
that as few as four applications of a complete fertilizer
containing a portion of its N in controlled-release form
effected as much tree growth as 11 applications of a
fertilizer containing all water-soluble N. The two-year-old
trees grew large enough to set a significant amount of fruit
for harvest during the third year after planting. In light of
potential regulation of N fertilizer use, controlled-release
sources appear to have a bright future.

Chronic Diseases of Citrus
The chronic diseases, citrus tristeza virus (CTV) and citrus
blight, are the two most devastating diseases attacking
citrus trees. CREC places these two problems at a high
priority and devotes a major effort in solving them.
Important achievements toward that goal were made in the
past year.
For example, a greenhouse procedure has been developed
to enable testing of mild strains of citrus tristeza virus
(CTV) for cross protection against decline induction
strains on Sour orange rootstock within a period of less
than a year, as compared to 3-5 years needed for current
field evaluations. From evaluation of field plots, some mild
isolates of CTV appear to be able to cross- protect against
decline on Sour orange rootstock induced by severe strains
of CTV.
A significant research contribution was made in the past
year with the development of gold labeled antibody
technology to detect citrus tristeza virus (CTV) in
ultrathin sections. This is the first time such methodology
has been used successfully with CTV and will allow us to
determine if mild and severe strains of CTV are able to
infect the same phloem cells. This answer will have
implications about the success or failure of mild strain
CTV cross protection.
A serological diagnostic test has been developed for citrus
blight, enabling detection in presymptomatic, producing
trees. A serological diagnostic test has been developed for
the detection of the bacterium causing the "new" citrus
decline disease in Brazil, citrus variegated chlorosis. A
diagnostic test for citrus greening has been developed
which is based on the chromatographic detection of a
fluorescent compound present in greening infected plants.

Revolutionary Seedless Watermelons
Florida is the nation's largest producer of watermelon. Of
all watermelon varieties, those that are seedless bring the
highest prices and are most desired by consumers. How-
ever, development of improved seedless watermelon
varieties has been stifled due to difficulties associated with
increasing the parental breeding lines, which can take ten
years for a single new line. This problem has resulted in
extremely high seed costs that reach $1,200/pound
compared to $10-120/pound for seeded varieties. The net
effect of this has been low production of seedless water-
melon and irregular availability to consumers.
A patented process developed by researchers at the Central
Florida Research and Education Center Leesburg now
allows such parental lines to be increased in six months.
This allows improved varieties to be developed within a
commercially feasible time frame, resulting in both lower
seed costs and greater availability.









1991 Selected Research Accomplishments 19


Beyond their obvious quality attributes, seedless watermel-
ons also have several other characteristics not shared by
seeded varieties. Due to lack of seeds which produce
hormones that cause breakdown, seedless watermelons
have a better shelf life. Furthermore, lack of seeds cause
the seedless vines to have a longer life-cycle, resulting in
up to three times as much melon production when com-
pared to seeded varieties, if common watermelon diseases
are controlled. All diseases except virus, can be controlled
with conventional methods. Virus is endemic in Florida
and usually limits production.
Although all methods of control have been ineffectual, a
new genetic engineering technique shows promise for
adding virus resistance genes to watermelon. Thus far,
IFAS researchers have isolated genes for the three major
viruses that affect production and have developed neces-
sary cell culture-plant regeneration systems to place these
genes into watermelon. Research under way is attempting
to package the genes in a form suitable for insertion into
watermelon cells.
If this approach is successful, rapid integration of high-
level virus resistance into new, improved seedless varieties
via the patented process will revolutionize the watermelon
industry since lower seed costs and higher fruit yields per
acre will be possible. Seedless watermelons then will be
less expensive to produce and will supplant seeded varieties
at the marketplace.

Phosphorus Fertilizer Efficiency
On a phosphorus deficient acid soil in North Florida, lime
application 2 months before applying diammonium
phosphate increased yield of snap beans about 50% above
that obtained where phosphorus was applied 2 months
before lime. This suggests that lime should be applied
before applying phosphorus in order to obtain maximum
efficiency from diammonium phosphate. Monocalcium
phosphate efficiency was not influenced by lime-phospho-
rus application sequence. The lime-phosphorus applica-
tion sequence is a "no cost" management practice that can
improve phosphorus fertilizer efficiency without harming
the environment.

Exploring Transplant Shock
Frequently after transplanting, trees shed a portion of their
leaves and small branches die, leaving the trees with a
sickly appearance for several years thereafter. These
symptoms have typically been termed "transplant shock"
but have rarely been investigated. In severe cases, the trees
die.
In an effort to improve the health, vitality and survival of
transplanted trees, researchers at the CFREC-Sanford and
the Department of Environmental Horticulture
(Gainesville) are collaborating to diagnose the cause of
transplant shock, with the goal of devising recommenda-
tions to prevent or lessen its toll. This involves coordinat-
ing studies of development and growth of roots and shoots
with physiological aspects, such as short and long term
water stress and seasonal changes in tree food reserves after
transplanting.
Early studies have linked transplant shock symptoms to
limited fine root mass and insufficient irrigation frequen-
cies. From these studies, a recommendation for irrigation
frequencies and volumes has been formulated for sandy
soils that prevents transplant shock. Further studies should
extend this recommendation to other soil types and
determine minimum water requirements.

particularly alien workers. In contrast with minimum wage
and unemployment insurance laws, IRCA applies to both
small and large agricultural employees.
A 1990 study of Prevailing Wages and Practices provided
information to analyze the influence of IRCA on the
Florida citrus industry. As expected, agricultural entrepre-
neurs innovate their individual businesses to deal with the
risk of sanctions imposed by laws and regulations. The net
effect has been a shift in the management of routine
seasonal labor jobs from growers to independent labor
contractors. Moreover, these changes in rules and regula-
tions have created entrepreneurial opportunities in labor
contracting.

20 1991 Selected Research Accomplishments

Economic Effectiveness of Commodity
Promotion
Specific analyses of consumer response to commodity
promotion efforts in several sectors have been conducted.
Results for the dairy and beef promotion efforts are
reported here. The Beef Promotion and Research Act of
1985 authorized the U.S. beef industry to develop and
implement national programs for enhancing consumer
demand for beef. The programs are underwritten through
an assessment of $1 per head of livestock each time a
bovine live animal, regardless of age, is sold. Live weight
prices are estimated to be 2.73 cents per pound greater as a
direct result of the programs for the quarters 87:1-90:1.
This gain represents a 4.5 percent increase in live weight
prices. When comparing the price gains against the
assumption that some programs would have existed
without the national checkoff, the live weight beef
revenue gains net of by-products are estimated to be either
$3.612 billion or $1.493 billion, depending on the base
from which the revenue gains are estimated.
For the 69 month pre-Act period, December 1978-August
1984, fluid milk advertising expenditures of $90.4 million
increased sales by 3.2 percent over what they (sales) would
have been with no advertising. This represents an average
increase of 43.3 pounds per advertising dollar for the
period. For the 37-month post-Act period, September
1984-September 1987, additional national and regional
fluid milk advertising expenditures of $19.5 million,
generated as a result of the national program, increased
sales by 2.5 percent over what they would have been
without the added advertising expenditures.
An analysis of the marginal effects of fluid milk advertising
shows decreasing returns to advertising expenditures. At
current advertising levels the marginal impact of another
dollar of advertising is over 42 pounds of milk. If advertis-
ing were increased by 25 percent over current levels then
this rate of return would drop to about 35 pounds per
dollar.
