Abstract: Methods of producing sugar cane transplant units that includes planting a sugar cane propagation material in a planting container that has a volume of 10 to 200 cubic centimeters; growing the sugar plant to an age of at least 4 months; harvesting the stalks of the sugar cane plant when the stalks have a length of 10 to 50 centimeters; cutting the harvested stalks into stalk segments, wherein the stalk segments are cut to a length of 1 to 5 centimeters; and planting one or more of the stalk segments into a planting container that has a volume from 10 to 200 cubic centimeters.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘SV35-182-214’ particularly characterized by medium sized clusters of green skinned berries which are large, crisp, and sweet with muscat flavor. The vines are very responsive to exogenous gibberellic acid application and trunk girdling which induces a size increase of the berries more than double the natural size. Vines are fruitful when spur pruned to two buds per cane with new shoots producing one or two clusters per shoot.

Abstract: A new variety of Grandiflora rose plant suitable for garden decoration, having flowers of pink & yellow striped coloration.

Abstract: ‘BB14-232PT-2’, is the second known genotype selected in a tropical environment of Peru. ‘BB14-232PT-2’ does not require chill-hours for either budbreak or fruit production, possibly because ‘BB14-232PT-2’ does not develop endo-dormancy. The fruit of ‘BB14-232PT-2’ is a medium to large size berry, with medium dark blue color, excellent fruit firmness and crunchy texture. The eating quality of ‘BB14-232PT-2’ is excellent and superior to many of the varieties currently grown in Peru, with a sugar/acidity balance of 16 to 20. Time of fruit production in ‘BB14-232PT-2’ can be regulated by the pruning date and environment conditions.
