    Methods

    • Current Methods
      • Unnamed Method
        • Started: 1993-04-01
        • Method Description: An additional blackberry clone was sampled.

      • Unnamed Method
        • Started: 1991-04-01
        • Method Description: 15 additional black cherry trees were sampled

      • Unnamed Method
        • Started: 1988-04-01
        • Method Description: The same trees (black cherry and white ash) and clones (blackberry) were examined for symptoms of ozone injury. 14 ash, 25 cherry and 5 blackberry clones (5 first year canes and 5 second year canes for each clone) were evaluated using a 5 class rating system: 0, 1=trace (1-5%), 2=light(6-25%), 3=moderate(26-50%), 4=heavy(>50%). Branch samples are taken using a tree climber.

      • Unnamed Method
        • Started: 1993-04-01
        • Method Description: Only 2 ash and 18 cherry trees were sampled. Pole pruners were used to sample, lower foliage only was obtainable.

      • Injury rating
        • Started: 1993-04-01
        • Method Description: An eight class injury rating system was done in addition to the original 5 class system. This is the Horsfall-Barrett system: 0,1=1-3%, 2=4-6%, 3=7-12%, 4=13-25%, 5=26-50%, 6=51-75%, 7=>75%.
