Dwarf kafir corn proves profitable, feterita gains interest, broom corn seed campaigns noted, and Sudan grass valued in semi arid to humid regions. Potatoes face new diseases like leaf roll and mosaic. tests in greenhouses aid seed potato selection and disease resistance. Dates ripening controlled by moist warm storage. Degelet Noor offers uniform, cleaner fruit. Date propagation via offshoots emphasized for industry growth.

Grass and legume seed advances for Florida and Gulf coast
Extensive experiments improve Rhodes grass seed production for Florida and Gulf coast demands with American seed elsewhere. Hairy vetch seed separation now easier via spiral separators, and purple vetch shows high yield potential. Cowpeas and alfalfa breeding yield promising new varieties, including yellow-flowered Medicago falcata hybrids. Peruvian alfalfa roots show rapid rooting in greenhouse conditions, aiding warm-climate cultivation. Limequat emerges as a hardy lime substitute, fruiting precociously. Rotation with fertilizers sustains soil quality. tobacco soils in several states face vegetable matter restoration through cover crops.
