It is more resistant to mint rust than current commercially grown Mentha arvensis varieties.

Abstract: Mint selection 05-19-1 denominated “Canyon Mint” is a new Mentha piperita cultivar that produces an essential oil different in composition than commercially grown mint varieties. The essential oil is similar to standard mint oil in components composition but differs in the typical ratio of components. Organoleptically, it differs from typical peppermint oil. It is resistant to mint rust and more resistant to Verticillium mint wilt than current commercially grown varieties.

Abstract: Mint selection 08-A20-3, denominated “Steens Mint,” is a new Mentha sp. cultivar that produces an essential oil different in composition than commercially grown mint varieties. The essential oil is similar to standard mint oil in components composition but differs in the typical ratio of components. Organoleptically, it differs from typical Mentha piperita peppermint oil. It is more resistant to mint rust than current commercially grown Mentha arvensis varieties.

Abstract: The foliage and stems of plant species from the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, yield natural pesticides when macerated. Hydrodistillation of macerated plant biomass yields a concentrated solution of organic volatile compounds that act synergistically as a natural pesticide. Volatile compounds liberated from Prunus biomass include 2-propanol, hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, mandelonitrile, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, hydrocyanic acid and others. These compounds may be removed from the distillate and reformulated to form a standard concentrated solution, with benzaldehyde, mandelonitrile and hydrogen cyanide being the major components. The extracts may be used as a soil treatment or soil fumigant for soil-borne pests. They also may be formulated for application as solutions with or without a surfactant or formulated as powders for foliar treatment.

Abstract: A device and method for locking a slidable and tiltable truck bed against tilting when the truck bed is in the forward position adjacent the truck cab are presented. The device includes a movable actuator that communicates with the truck's hydraulic system to effect tilting. If this actuator is prevented from moving, the tilting function cannot be accessed. The actuator is locked by restraining its top end between two tabs at one end of a hinge. A spring positioned between a fixed support, to which is also affixed the other end of the hinge, and one of the tabs, in the absence of compression, permits the actuator free motion; upon a forward sliding of the truck bed, however, the spring is compressed, moving the tabs downward to engage and restrain the actuator top end.

Abstract: Selection M0107-4 is a new Mentha piperita plant that has more resistance to Verticillium wilt and mint rust than existing peppermint varieties. The essential oil produced by this plant resembles typical peppermint oil in component composition, but differs in the typical ratio of components. The oil is milder than typical peppermint oil organoleptically because it has a lower Menthol and higher Menthone content. The plant starts growth early in the spring, has vigorous growth until flowering and matures later than Mitcham type peppermint.

Abstract: A new and distinctive variety of a water mint plant of the species botanically known as Mentha×aquatica L, named ‘Aquamint’ which has an upright growth habit, produces a unique mint oil and is resistant to mint rust caused by Puccinia menthae and mint wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae.
