Overall Final Knowledge
The 3 components that comprise the disease triangle.
Host plant, Pathogen, Conductive Enviroment
Pecan trees are monoecious and are pollinated via this method.
Wind
Name at least 2 commonly used rootstocks for almonds in California.
Nemaguard, Lovell, Marianna, Nickels
These 3 countries produce 80% of global walnut supply.
China, U.S., Chile
Name 2 cultivars of pears grown the U.S.
Bartlett, D'Anjou, Bosc, Comice, Seckel
The world's number one nut crop, production in the U.S. is entirely in California.
Almonds
Name 3 cultivars of pecans.
Stuart, Elliot, Desirable, Cape Fear, Caddo
An almond is considered to be this type of fruit.
Drupe
Name 3 cultivars of walnut.
Chandler, Howard, Tulare, Hartley, Ivanhoe
This aggregate fruit is composed of many drupelets and pulls cleanly from the receptacle (core) when mature.
Raspberry
This is the result of not storing nuts properly allowing oxidation of their lipids when exposed to air, light, and heat.
Rancidity
The 3 leading producing states of pecans .
Georgia, New Mexico, Texas
Name one female cultivar and one male cultivar of pistachio.
Female: Kerman, Golden Hills, Lost Hills
Male: Peters, Randy
This is the ideal percentage of "meat" contained within a walnut.
50-55%
Genetically in European plums, it is are more difficult to identify specific genes responsible for a trait due to this aspect of their genetic coding.
Hexaploidy
This crop (Ribes species) is a native to temperate areas of Europe/northern Asia, prefers medium acidic soils (5-6) and full sun.
Currants
Pecan production from a tree can last up to this many years.
50-75 years
The dominant cultivar of almonds which accounts for about 40% of annual production.
Nonpareil
The predominant rootstock used for English walnut cultivars.
California black walnut (Juglans californica)
These 3 parameters are the main maturity indices of apples.
Brix, Starch Index, Firmness
Macadamia nuts are produced within the U.S. by this state.
Hawaii
Pecans are a good source of this biotic compound which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid
This is the ratio of male pollinator trees to producing females for pistachio production.
1:24
Dried walnuts contain approximately this much moisture.
8% moisture content
This is the limiting factor to grape production in Louisiana.
