“…The majority of the participants viewed horticulture research and extension at MSU-CREC as providing helpful information that benefitted their households, businesses, or non-profit organizations [1]. Most OH-FD participants benefitted from new horticulture information learned from MSU-CREC in the last five years [1]. Seventy-four percent of the OH-FD participants gained new knowledge from the MSU-CREC horticulture programs over the previous five years.…”

“…The survey of estimates of the total changes in spending, sales, and income of participants of the horticulture research and extension programs at the MSU-CREC were conducted at its experiment stations and extension offices located in Coastal Mississippi [1]. In these research and extension events, attendees were asked to participate in voluntary surveys conducted after some of these events.…”

“…Participants consisted of adults who attended horticulture events at the MSU-CREC research and extension facilities [1]. During the past five years (2015-2019), the annual number of adult attendees to horticulture events averaged over 1,600 persons or a total of more than 8,400 producers, Master Gardeners, and research and extension personnel.…”

“…• Calculate the total economic impacts of the total changes in private spending, sales, and income by participants who attended the horticulture events during the past five years. It is expected that the application of new horticultural information will facilitate households, non-profit organizations, and businesses to increase sales or funding, reduce costs, or increase savings in their homes or organizations [1]. Before adopting or rejecting these new methods, they evaluate their usefulness to their respective households or businesses.…”

This paper summarizes the estimates of the total changes in sales, expenses, and income of participants of the horticulture research and extension programs at the Mississippi State University - Coastal Research and Extension Center for the past five years. Major items outline the estimation procedures for the past five years. The average annual values were used in estimating the total economic impacts of added gross sales, expenses, and incomes of participants in horticulture events. The cumulative total impacts reach $8.7 million in sales, 76 jobs, $1.4 million in labor income, $2.4 million in value-added, and $0.4 million in local, state, and federal taxes. In addition, the total willingness to pay for the horticulture program by the adult participants reached $1.8 million. In comparison, the annual public spending on the horticulture program averaged $1.4 million, creating additional substantial economic impacts to the region.

Potential Impacts of Shade Treatments on Dormancy of Overwintering Redbud (Cercis canadensis L.) Trees at Southeastern Nurseries

Dormancy accrual is an important process in mitigating the abiotic stressors of overwintering trees at ornamental nurseries, with frost-injured tree crops at heightened risk of ensuing biotic insect and disease attack. As mean global temperatures rise, overwintering nursery crops may lose dormancy earlier. Using potted eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis L.) trees placed under two types of shade cloth, under full sun, or in walk-in coolers, we measured stem, air and root zone temperatures, accrual of chill hours and mean time to bud break at two sites. While there was no significant difference between the two shade treatments, shade cloths did moderate both high and low temperatures to which trees were exposed. Differences in mean time to first bud break were observed from shaded trees versus those in full sun at each site. It may be useful to alter our shading design to continue protection from overnight lows while preventing excess warming from daytime highs, and thus promoting dormancy and preventing frost exposure in some regions, but further tests will be required. Species used in this study: eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis L.).
