Both are an amazing fall treat, sweet and soft fruits, perfect for eating right off the tree. There are nice cultivars already, and the next generations are promising. The fact that they are more perishable provides a better niche for direct sales vs a broker or retailer.

Interested in pollarding as a way to establish more trees on smaller properties and urban food forests, as potentially may be easier to manage the size.  Have looked at the facebook group "Chestnuts as a tree crop" that was suggested by Dr. Revord, and the cover photo is a pollarded orchard in Japan!

I'm curious if there are any examples of shared community processing equipment? Seems like there's such a huge potential to really ramp up US elderberry production to meet that current demand. I wonder if that would be accelerated if there were more opportunities for shared equipment. Is there space in the recent increase of conservation funding to set up processing facilities? Or maybe they already exist somewhere?

What is durable disease resistance? More info here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4615-9305-8_2

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Summary

Durable disease resistance is defined as resistance that has remained effective while a cultivar possessing it has been widely cultivated in an environment favoring the disease. This characteristic of resistance is recognised retrospectively, as are all other characteristics of interactions between hosts and pathogens. Resistance that has been shown to be durable should be considered as a valuable resource for further breeding and for investigation of the causes of durability. Durable resistance is often achieved against diseases that show little or no specialisation into races pathogenic to particular cultivars. For such diseases, the control of resistance may be by single genes or by several genes, each of small effect, and the resistance may be either complete or incomplete (quantitative). For pathogens that possess pathogenicity specific for particular cultivars, failures of resistance can often be shown to be due to race-specificity of resistance genes and the evolution and spread of pathogen races with matching pathogenicity. These race-specific genes may have large (major) or small (minor) effects, giving either complete or quantitative resistance, and may operate at any stage of host development. Despite failures of resistance due to race-specificity in some cultivars, other cultivars remain resistant for relatively long periods, though this does not prove that their resistance will be permanent. For some diseases such durable resistance may be controlled by one or few genes of large effect. More usually a number of genes, not necessarily a large number, giving cumulative and often quantitative resistance, may appear to control durable resistance. Breeding programs should be modified to increase the chance of incorporating genetic components that appear to be related to durable resistance. However, breeding involves the selection of new genotypes, and the achievement of durable resistance in new cultivars, whatever the breeding method,. will only be proved by a widespread and prolonged test.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Scientific evidence indicates that pesticides contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions while also making our agricultural systems more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. However, the reduction of synthetic pesticide use has been omitted from climate change solutions, and synthetic pesticide use is even presented as a climate change mitigation strategy by industrial agriculture interests.

Research Interests:

In over 100 years of intensive study of inheritance in organisms from all the major branches of life, we have built models of what we see, from simple Mendelian phenotypes to genetic control systems of exquisite precision; from simple DNA, RNA and protein sequencing to the improbably noisy biochemical reactions that produce a phenotype. In my program we use this accumulated knowledge to study the genetics of stress resistance in natural populations, in the native forest trees of eastern North America, the insect vectors of human disease and the malaria parasite. Most recently we have focused on the application of quantitative genetics, high throughput metabolomics, and traditional tree breeding to successfully develop a nontransgenic population of native ash resistant to the Emerald ash borer.

Our basic research program focuses on:

Population dynamics, spatial genetic structure, gene flow, adaptive genetic variation and spontaneous interspecific hybridization, in Quercus, Castanea, Juglans and Fraxinus.

Genetic architecture and speciation mechanisms in the genera Castanea and Juglans

Rapid identification of the genetic basis of multidrug resistance in the malaria parasite

Karuk Tribe, Karuk Climate Adaptation Plan, Karuk Tribe, 2019
Excerpted, p. 42-45

The exceptional biological diversity of the mid-Klamath River region Northern California has emerged in conjunction with sophisticated Karuk land management practices, including the regulation of the forest and fisheries through ceremony and the use of fire. Karuk management practices have been interrupted by genocide and ongoing presence of non-Native land management practices. In particular the exclusion of fire has led to radical ecological changes including high fuel loads, decreased habitat for large game such as elk and deer, reduction in the quantity and quality of acorns, and alteration of growth patterns of basketry materials such as hazel and willow. Across California the increasing frequency of high severity fire points to the need to re-examine human relationships with fire.

Karuk People have historically used fire for millennia. While fire can be incredibly dangerous, it is an inevitable part of natural ecosystems, especially in lightning-prone forested areas such as the mid-Klamath. Forested areas in northern California have become adapted to frequent occurrence of relatively low intensity fire from human and natural ignitions for more than the past 1,000 years (Perry et al. 2011, Taylor et al 2016).
Karuk use of fire has been central to the evolution of the flora and fauna of the mid- Klamath (Anderson 2005, Lake 2007 and 2013, Lake et al. 2010, Skinner et al. 2006).

These fire adapted forests burned in smaller overall areas in mosaic patterns with patches of high intensity fire (Mohr et al. 2000, Skinner et al. 2006, Perry et al. 2011). Fire has long been an important tool to manipulate landscape to patch-scale fire necessary for Karuk cultural sustenance and well-being (Lake 2013). Indeed, Karuk culture is directly dependent on mixed fire severity regimes (Lake 2007, Norgaard 2014). Karuk fire management practices include burning at a specific season, frequency, and intensity at a variety of severities. This frequent, low-intensity fire is linked with various fire-adapted vegetation communities and it necessary for the maintenance of cultural resources. Fire is especially critical for restoring grasslands for elk, managing for food sources including tanoak and black oak acorns, maintaining quality basketry materials, producing smoke that shades the river for fish, and more.

The passage of the Weeks Act in 1911 following the Big Burn of 1910, made cultural uses of fire essentially illegal and for the many decades following, less and less burning occurred while more and more vegetation grew. Over a century of policies of fire suppression have created the conditions for the catastrophic, high-intensity wildfires we are seeing today. Warming temperatures and summer droughts further exacerbate these conditions.

In the context of climate change, Karuk tribal knowledge and management principles regarding the use of fire are being utilized to reduce the likelihood of high severity fires. Fortunately, in the face of the changing climate, many ecologists, fire scientists and policy makers, Native and non-Native alike have turned to indigenous knowledge and management practices with renewed interest and optimism in the hope that they may provide a much-needed path towards both adaptation and reducing emissions (Williams and Hardison 2013, Martinez 2011, Raygorodetsky 2011, Vinyeta and Lynn 2013, Whyte 2013, Wildcat 2009). In particular, there is increasing recognition of the importance of indigenous burning as an ecosystem process and restoration technique.

Video Transcription:
Text: For thousands of years the landscapes of North America have been intensively managed and shaped through the use of traditional fire.

Leaf Hillman: Fear of fire is what brought us to this place where we are at today, where we really have reason to fear fire.

Text: The Karuk Tribe of northern California is one of many Indigenous nations that use fire traditonally as a tool.

Analisa Tripp: Prescribed fire can be a tool, perhaps the most powerful tool, to combat the impacts of high severity fires.

Text: Prescribed fire clears out the dense brush that would fuel high severity fires.

Leaf Hillman: We have to re-establish a positive relationship with fire. Our knowledge of this landscape and the use of fire to protect our communities, to enhance the resources that we need to survive-it's here.

Text: Fire suppression is extremely costly and actually leads to more massive wildfires. Climate change is making this problem worse.

Analisa Tripp: People are seeing the benefits of prescribed fire more now than they have in a long time, over a hundred years. When you see it, you realize, 'oh, it's gonna be OK.'

Leaf Hillman: The more time goes on that we don't put fire back on these landscapes at the time and at the scale that we need to, then it's gonna do it-not on our terms. Fire suppression has failed. Our first response has to be, 'manage it.' Not suppress it, but 'manage it.'

Crops and Wild Relatives

Khoury, Colin [1], Beckman, Emily [2], Warschefsky, Emily [3], Meyer, Abby [4].

North American Fruit and Nut Tree Crop Wild Relative Conservation.

A 2018 assessment found that 74% of U.S. threatened crop wild relative (CWR) priority species are represented in botanic garden collections, indicating that these collections could fill a critical gap in agrobiodiversity preservation. In response, the U.S. Botanic Garden has partnered with Botanic Gardens Conservation International (U.S.), San Diego Botanic Garden, and Missouri Botanical Garden to promote coordination and connections between botanic garden and public genebank communities in the U.S. The aims of this project are to (a) explore current gaps, capacity, needs, and potential roles to enhance crop wild relative preservation, and (b) topromote collaborative conservation of priority taxa through seed banking, germplasm collection, and monitoring of wild populations. Stakeholder interviews and a literature review found tree crop wild relatives to be among those in greatest need of coordinated action, and 90 taxa from 10 genera of fruit and nut trees Asimina, Diospyros, Malus, Persea, Prunus, Carya, Castanea, Corylus, Juglans, and Pistacia) were selected as initial priority taxa. Thus far, three virtual meetings on North American fruit and nut tree CWR conservation have been held, serving as platforms to share ongoing conservation and research activities, foster collaborations across institutions, and to begin establishing genus-level working groups. A comprehensive dataset of collections information for the priority taxa has been compiled from existing sources and additional surveys of botanic gardens. This dataset is being used to conduct a gap analysis of ex situ collections of each priority species, and the results of this work will facilitate the prioritization of collaborative conservation projects among botanic gardens and genebanks.

Native plants are the foundation of nature's web of life, providing food for thousands of insects, which in turn become food for songbirds and other cherished wildlife.

Many native plants also provide food to people. Fruit from pawpaw and persimmon trees can be used to make many kinds of desserts, for example, as can nuts from black walnut and hickory trees.

Note: These resources on native edibles are intended as general information only. As with any foods, there is a potential for allergic reactions when consuming native edibles. Always seek the advice of a health professional with any questions about touching or eating any plant matter.

Gather native edibles only with permission from landowners, and, ideally, grow them yourself.

Planting native plants in or near your vegetable and fruit gardens helps support pollinating insects that also pollinate your food crops-resulting in better harvests for you. Consult this fact sheet for details.

Winner of the Society for Economic Botany's Mary W. Klinger Book Award.

Cultural Forests of the Amazon is a comprehensive and diverse account of how indigenous people transformed landscapes and managed resources in the most extensive region of tropical forests in the world. Until recently, most scholars and scientists, as well as the general public, thought indigenous people had a minimal impact on Amazon forests, once considered to be total wildernesses. William Balée's research, conducted over a span of three decades, shows a more complicated truth. In Cultural Forests of the Amazon, he argues that indigenous people, past and present, have time and time again profoundly transformed nature into culture. Moreover, they have done so using their traditional knowledge and technology developed over thousands of years. Balée demonstrates the inestimable value of indigenous knowledge in providing guideposts for a potentially less destructive future for environments and biota in the Amazon. He shows that we can no longer think about species and landscape diversity in any tropical forest without taking into account the intricacies of human history and the impact of all forms of knowledge and technology. Balée describes the development of his historical ecology approach in Amazonia, along with important material on little-known forest dwellers and their habitats, current thinking in Amazonian historical ecology, and a narrative of his own dialogue with the Amazon and its people.

When you consider crop plants to be relations, it suddenly feels very wrong to talk about “elite” cultivars and use other eugenics-like language surrounding superiority and inferiority. More than an issue of political correctness, I think that kind of language potentially leads us in very concrete, dangerous directions -- inbreeding, reduction of diversity and adaptability, ignorance of valuable genetics in landraces and crop wild relatives, etc. I'm curious if anyone else feels similarly or has any ideas regarding useful changes to the language we use when breeding plants.

What are your goals? Local food security, habitat rehabilitation, increasing biodiversity, conservation of natural resources, and spreading plant resources are important to me. In my context the scale I’m working towards is tending enough animals, fruits, nuts, and berries for multiple families. Then encouraging others to do the same. In my context the land is very hilly and ill suited for row crops, but perfect for agroforestry and silvopasture systems. Harvest is meant to be celebrated, so encourage customers/owners to enjoy it.

Elderberries have been used by humans for centuries as both food and medicine. Demand for elderberry products in the US continues to exceed supply as consumers seek out elderberry products as a source of immune system support. The resources on this page are intended to introduce both prospective elderberry growers and consumers to this promising native perennial agroforestry crop.

Elderberries are a hardy perennial crop that can provide strong economic returns and be a valuable part of a small farm operation. Given their documented medicinal properties and the fact that the majority of elderberry products are manufactured from imported elderberries, considerable demand exists in the marketplace. Once established, elderberries can produce a harvestable crop for many years. Elderberries provide great habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. As a perennial crop, they help reduce erosion and water runoff. Get started by planting a few elderberries now to see if they are a good fit for you and your farm goals!

Elderberry biomass as livestock fodder

PIs and Collaborators: Ashley Conway-Anderson, Andrew Thomas, Harley Naumann, Chung-Ho Lin, Christine Nieman

Graduate Students: Seth Chrisman, Eric McKenzie

The North American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) industry is growing rapidly in Missouri. This woody perennial is commonly appreciated for its high nutraceutical value in humans, high antioxidants, flavorful berry juice and aromatic flowers. Despite some reports of wild elderberry being highly palatable to grazing ruminants, utilizing elderberry as a forage source is generally not recommended due to irregular occurrences of cyanogenic compounds, particularly associated with European varieties of elderberry. Literature evaluating the cyanogenic glycosides in Sambucus species indicates that concentrations are variable, variety specific, and can be affected by altitude and growing conditions. Typically, cyanogenic analysis is done on the parts of the plant valued for human consumption, therefore there is very little evaluation on the nutrient content of elderberry plants for ruminant livestock (ie: leaves and stems). As a valuable component of both a commercial monoculture and polyculture system, elderberry grown for flowers and fruit often require annual pruning to maintain vigor, a service that grazing livestock may be able to provide in a managed integrated operation. Additionally, due to the high concentration of tannins within the plant, there is potential to incorporate elderberry into non-commercial fodder banks as a nutraceutical anthelmintic (a natural anti-parasitic). Little data exist on average nutrient content, digestibility and concentration of nutritive and anti-nutritive factors for Sambucus canadensis, but some data suggest that S. canadensis fruit does not contain high concentrations of cyanogenic compounds, making native elderberry potentially suitable for livestock grazing as a perennial forage source.

Andrew Thomas has big plans for a small berry. Thomas, research assistant professor in the Division of Plant Science and Technology in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources at the University of Missouri, has received a Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the project Moving American Elderberry into Mainstream Production and Processing. The award is for $5,345,255 over a four-year period.

Elderberry is a native plant found all over the Midwest and eastern United States. Thomas, who has conducted elderberry research for 24 years at CAFNR's Southwest Research, Extension and Education Center (SW-REEC) at Mount Vernon, Missouri, has found that the demand for elderberry products has increased over the last several years.

"The industry has really continued to grow, especially during Covid-19," said Thomas. "Elderberry-based dietary supplement product sales have skyrocketed because of their well-known health benefits. Elderberry is full of antioxidants that can help boost your immune system."

"Elderberry production in Missouri has also started to boom," added Thomas. "It has become the number one berry crop in Missouri, now surpassing blackberries and strawberries combined."

"Andy has dedicated a significant part of his career to elderberry research, and this grant is a well-deserved recognition for his accomplishments," said Shibu Jose, associate dean for research in CAFNR. "This is a big steppingstone for further advancing elderberry as a specialty crop for Missouri and beyond, and an important collaboration across multiple disciplines, universities and centers. This project will showcase and build on the outstanding research that Andy and his colleagues have completed."

Thomas said there are several moving parts to this project, including horticulture, plant breeding, food science, human health, mechanical harvest, economics and a strong outreach component. The foundation of the project is running a south-to-north trial, planting different varieties in different regions.

"I always get questions of: Will, for example, an Oklahoma variety grow well in Missouri or even in Canada?" said Thomas. "My answer has always been 'I don't know,' but now we will have the resources to find out."

Thomas and his team will plant different varieties in five different locations: at the Kerr Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Poteau, Oklahoma; the Savanna Institute in southwest Wisconsin and in Champaign, Illinois; the MU SW-REEC in Mount Vernon, Missouri; and the MU Horticulture and Agroforestry Research Center in New Franklin, Missouri. These sites will host field days and events to educate the public about elderberries and the industry.

Other aspects of this research include basic breeding of elderberry plants, which is being led by Ron Revord, assistant research professor at the MU Center for Agroforestry. Since elderberry production is relatively new and the plant is native, very little breeding has previously been done.

"Elderberry is not advanced at all in terms of cultivar development," said Thomas. "We are jump-starting the project with a very basic, foundational breeding program, while concurrently using modern technologies to set the stage for much more sophisticated genetic advancements down the line.

"We expect to plant thousands of seedlings from our program at various locations," he said. "Our goal is to identify and eventually release superior cultivars for elderberry growers in Missouri and elsewhere."

Other parts of the project include working with Jianfeng Zhou, assistant professor in the Division of Plant Science and Technology, on mechanical harvest equipment. Economists at the University of Minnesota and MU will be studying production costs, as well as the current elderberry market and the market potential.

Another important part of the project is health and food science. Food scientists at MU including Kiruba Krishnaswamy, assistant professor in food science, and North Carolina State University are working together on understanding the processing of elderberries into juice and pomace. In their labs, they will develop methods to spray-dry juice to make a powdered "super food" that can be easily added to products such as protein shakes and bars.

Researchers in the MU School of Medicine will be studying elderberry's potential benefit to the aging brain using mouse models. The food science group will be pre-preparing elderberry products that will go into the diets of mice. Researchers will be looking at dementia, memory loss and other aspects of the aging brain to determine if elderberry supplements can maintain and even improve brain health as people grow older.

The project involves collaborations with many researchers across numerous disciplines at MU, but also with institutions across the country. Additional collaborators include the University of Minnesota, Savanna Institute, Kerr Center, North Carolina State University and Lincoln University.

"I am so fortunate not only to have connections with a team of incredible researchers and Extension faculty at MU, but also to have terrific connections with experts at other institutions," said Thomas. "Without them none of this would be possible."

George Hanhauser asked about Organic certification with permaculture systems (ie, not rotated crops per se). I'm organic certified and permaculture. My certifier guy just asks how I'm taking care of soil fertility (compost, mulch, cover crops) and wants to see records of what I've planted where (I have a notebook, seed packets, receipts). I do have a lot of annuals which fits his model, but he doesn't care how many kinds of plants are in a bed,or if they're mixed with annuals, just that I have a record of tracking so I make sure to mix up kinds of crops/families over time. -Kelda Lorax, Stardust Market Garden in NE Oklahoma

Kernza I have heard about but not much at all.  But I am really interested now!  What is the reseed rate or is this even a concern since it is a perennial?  I was not sure about the anticipated lifespan of the crop.

I heard there was potential to grow between pecans? Are there any other species that have been trialed?

I

Do not apply or allow to drift to plants that are flowering.

II

Do not apply or allow to drift to plants that are flowering, except when the application is made between sunset and midnight if allowed by the pesticide label and regulations.

III

No bee precaution, except when required by the pesticide label or regulations.

Mode of action

FRAC

Fungicide Resistance Action Committee mode-of-action codes for bactericides and fungicides.

HRAC

Herbicide Resistance Action Committee mode-of-action codes for herbicides and plant growth regulators.

IRAC

Insecticide Resistance Action Committee mode-of-action codes for acaricides, insecticides, nematicides, and molluscicides.

WSSA

Weed Science Society of America mode-of-action codes are presented at the HRAC Herbicide Resistance Action Committee website above.

Mode-of-action code presentation style

·

The separator (a bullet point) between the two mode-of-action codes for each herbicide active ingredient (common name), such as O·4, the HRAC·WSSA codes for 2,4-D.

/

The separator between common names (active ingredients), and between their mode-of-action codes, when two or more pesticides are combined in the same trade name product (e.g., a premix of the three herbicides 2,4-D/DICAMBA/MCPP).

;

The separator between pesticide types, and between their mode-of-action codes, when an active ingredient (common name) is of multiple types as with sulfur, an Acaricide; Fungicide; Insecticide.

When the trade name product is in a premix of more than one active ingredient (common name) with the same mode of action, the codes are presented only once. For example, for the combination of the two dinitroaniline herbicides BENEFIN/TRIFLURALIN (Team 2G) their HRAC·WSSA codes are presented as "K1·3" instead of "K1·3/K1·3."

Mode-of-action codes are presented in the order of the common names to which they apply in line of given type. For example, the codes for PYRIDABEN/SULFUR (Desperado) are "21A/UN" as acaricide (IRAC codes), "-/M2" as fungicide (FRAC codes), and "21A/UN" as insecticide (IRAC codes).

Other effects

FRAC3

If mixed with DMI fungicides FRAC code 3 (e.g., propiconazole, tebuconazole, triflumizole), may increase toxicity to bees.

FRAC3
IRAC3A

If mixed with DMI fungicides FRAC code 3 (e.g., propiconazole, tebuconazole, triflumizole), or pyrethroid insecticides IRAC group 3A (e.g., cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, tau-fluvalinate), may increase toxicity to bees.

FRAC3
FRACM5

If mixed with DMI fungicides FRAC code 3 (e.g., propiconazole, tebuconazole, triflumizole), or chlorothalonil fungicide FRAC code M5, may increase toxicity to bees.

FRAC3
IRAC3A

If mixed with DMI fungicides FRAC code 3 (e.g., propiconazole, tebuconazole, triflumizole), or pyrethroid insecticides IRAC group 3A (e.g., cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, tau-fluvalinate), may increase toxicity to bees.

FRAC7
FRAC11

If mixed with SDHI and QoI fungicides FRAC codes 7 and 11 (boscalid and pyraclostrobin, Pristine), may increase toxicity to bees.

Insecticide

If mixed with insecticides, increases hazard to bees.

IRAC1B

If mixed with the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos, IRAC group 1B, may increase toxicity to bees.

IRAC3A

If mixed with pyrethroid insecticides, IRAC group 3A (e.g., cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, tau-fluvalinate), may increase toxicity to bees.

If mixed with insecticides, including butenolide IRAC group 4D (flupyradifurone), chitin biosynthesis inhibitors IRAC group 15 (e.g., diflubenzuron, novaluron), neonicotinoids IRAC group 4A (e.g., acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, thiacloprid), or pyrethroids IRAC group 3A (e.g., cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, tau-fluvalinate), may increase toxicity to bees.

Indirect

Most herbicides are not toxic to bees, according to the available information. Herbicides primarily harm bees indirectly, by reducing the availability of flowering plants that produce nectar, pollen, and bee nesting material.

1. How to Reduce Bee Poisoning from Pesticides - 2013. Pacific Northwest Extension publication PNW591.

2. US EPA criteria for the bee precautionary statement on pesticide labels, the active ingredients' LD50 (≤ 2 μg/bee, > 2 to < 11 μg/bee, or ≥ 11 μg/bee) and residual toxicity to honey bee adults.

3. The authors' consideration of pesticide active ingredients' reported effects on the adults and brood of various bee species.

I have a lot of curiosity about what types of cooperative models might work for agroforestry. It seems like many practices such as alley cropping or silvopasture lend themselves to arrangements where land can be co-stewarded to mutual benefit and access increased, but I'm really interested in the nuts and bolts of implementing a co-op structure.

The conducts interdisciplinary research on plant strategies and the nutrient economy of diversified agroecosystems. We investigate practices that improve the efficiency of nutrient cycles, optimize plant-soil interactions, and promote landscape scale ecosystem services in agroecological and agroforestry systems. Our research aims to provide mechanistic insights into the ecological principles that govern the structure and function of biologically complex agroecosystems. To do this, we make use of a diverse set of technical tools and employ various temporal and spatial scales: from manipulative trials at the rhizosphere scale to observations of large agroecosystem dynamics. The Integrative Agroecology Lab also investigates the social processes that lead to change in agroecological systems, particularly the role of farmer well-being and informal agrarian networks in agroecosystem management.
Recent research highlights:
Editorial and article on the role of Ecological Nutrient Management in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Marschner Review published in Plant and Soil on Nutrient acquisition strategies in agroforestry systems.

Research findings profiled on Science Daily, Anthropocene magazine, and the Star, for our paper " Regional and global shifts in crop diversity through the Anthropocene ".

Lead author of collaborative review paper on Agroecology in Canada in the journal Sustainability.

Editor of Special Issue on Functional Traits in Agroecology in the Journal of Applied Ecology.
