FROM THE DIVISION DIRECTOR
Please join me in congratulating the Plant Sciences faculty who were promoted during this year; Felix Fritschi
to associate professor with tenure, Walter Gassmann to
professor, Kelly Nelson to research professor, and Qisheng
Song to professor.The success of these outstanding faculty
members reflects well on them but also on the Division
staff and students who assist and support their research
and teaching activities. Also relating to our faculty, we will
be joined by a new colleague, Dr. Moneen Jones, effective
September 1, 2013 (page 3). Dr. Jones, who comes to us
from a postdoctoral position at the University of Florida
Center at Immokalee where she worked with pests of citMike Collins
rus crops. She will be an assistant research professor and
will conduct entomology research on field crops at the
Fisher Delta Research Center in Portageville. Searches continue for the open viticulture
extension specialist and viticulture research positions.
Field day season is upon us and I hope that you will find the time to attend one or
more of the events around the state in the coming weeks (page 6). Upcoming activities
include field days at Graves-Chapple, Hundley-Whaley, and the Delta Center during
August and the Bradford Tomato Festival, South Farm Showcase, the Forage Systems
Research Center and several others during September.
Finally, we were all very saddened by the loss of Roger Mitchell, Dean Emeritus since
his retirement in 1998 and a fixture at Plant Sciences activities such as our holiday
celebration (page 2). Dean Mitchell made many contributions to CAFNR and MU and
became a leader in the activities of the Central Missouri Food Bank following his retirement. It is dedicated people such as Roger Mitchell, and others like him, who have
made Plant Sciences and CAFNR outstanding examples of how to fulfill the Land Grant
University mission.

Programs & People
Roger Mitchell, 1932-2013
Mitchell who served CAFNR as Dean for 15 years from 1983 to 1998, died quietly on
June 4. He was born on a farm near Grinnell, an agricultural community east of Des Moines.
His early life was that of “farm kid,” as he said, attending 4-H meetings and showing Sue, a
Guernsey heifer, in county and state fairs. There was no doubt then in his mind that his goal
was to be a gentleman farmer, being a faithful member of the community and good steward
of the land.
As his studies progressed, something in higher education began to shift his interests.
Mitchell attended Iowa State University, where he studied agronomy and crop physiology.
Mitchell not only fell in love with the academic life at Iowa State, he loved working with
Roger Mitchell
students. His first job was as an agronomy instructor. Mitchell’s professional career occurred during some of the most dramatic changes in America’s culture – the ‘60s and ‘70s. Rather than try to block these influences,
he embraced the best of them.
Colleagues said Mitchell never forgot a face. “If you ever met the Dean, he remembered your name. He has a steel trap for a
mind and made people feel so good because ‘the Dean knows who I am.’ That’s a great attribute,” said Tony Rickard, Extension Dairy
Specialist.

Sharp speaks at Conversations Series
Robert Sharp
On May 23, Bob Sharp was a speaker in the Donald
Danforth Plant Science Center’s “Conversations” Series;
the discussion focused on “Regional Efforts to Address Global
Water Availability and the Impact on Agriculture.” The program
also featured Dr. Tom Brutnell, Director of the Enterprise
Rent-A-Car Institute for Renewable Fuels at the Danforth
Center. The program was preceded by a reception which
featured a display on root growth in drying soils that was
presented by Kara Riggs and Hallie Thompson.

Tiger Garden attends Symposium & has Grand Reopening scheduled
Seven College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources students attended the
American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) Symposium in Las Vegas June 25-July
2 to represent the University of Missouri, along with Kim Martin,Tiger Garden manager/Plant Sciences design instructor, and Becky Means, Tiger Garden event coordinator. They include Kelsey Price, Kelly Herrman, Hannah Yoakum, Lesleighan Kraft,
Spencer Hoagland, Erin Casey and Sara Hoffman.
“The symposium is an inspiring atmosphere,” Martin said. “People from all over
the world attend, bringing creative ideas and displays. This helps students see that
floral design can be a career, not just a hobby.”
The chapter received funding for this trip with help from Karyn Brooke, owner
of Sidelines Custom Floral Design in Kansas City, Mo. The students also were able
to help Brooke design arrangements for the final night of the symposium, a grand
masquerade banquet.
The grand reopening of Tiger Garden will take place the week of September
23rd. There will be several events and specials happening throughout the week; a
ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, guest lectures on Thursday, and a recognition
ceremony on Friday. Be sure to visit Tiger Garden’s website at http://tigergarden.
missouri.edu for more details as they become available.

Meet Your Extension Agent,
Kate Kammler
Katie Kammler received her
Bachelor’s Degree from College
of the Ozarks in Agriculture with
an emphasis in Horticulture and
her Master’s from Southern Illinois University in Plant and Soil
Science. She is has a varied background in horticulture, growing
Kate Kammler
up on a tree farm with pecans
and black walnut in Perry County. She worked in
a greenhouse/nursery, pumpkin farm, golf course,
vineyard, orchard, landscaping, and vegetable research before joining University of Missouri Extension as a Plant Science Specialist in 2008. Katie is
passionate about pumpkins, growing 140 different
varieties of pumpkins and squash this year.
Katie provides
horticulture programing for Ste.
Genevieve,
St.
Francois, Washington, Jefferson, and
Franklin counties.
Major programs
include
Master
Gardeners, Farmer’s Market Workshop, and Grow
Your Farm. Vegetable grafting has
become a popular
topic in the last few
years, especially increase production
of heirloom tomatoes. Her favorite
part about working for Extension is
learning something
new every day.
New faculty member,
Moneen Jones joins Delta Center
Dr. Moneen ‘Mo’ Jones received her
doctorate from University of Illinois UrbanaChampaign in 2010, where she studied the susceptibility of Oriental fruit moth to selected
insecticides and mixtures. As a Post Doc for
University of Florida at Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, her research focused on management programs for the Asian
citrus psyllid (ACP) and citrus leafminer. ACP,
Moneen Jones
the vector of citrus greening disease (i.e. Huanglongbing, HLB) is a serious threat to citrus production in Florida.
Monitoring methods were evaluated for control, economic feasibility,
and impact on secondary pests to assist in making rational control
decisions. New chemical tools were assessed for psyllid suppression
and compatibility with natural enemies. She assisted growers with
planning and evaluation of field tests to develop site specific seasonlong psyllid control which provides an information bridge between
growers and researchers to communicate this information effectively
to the industry. An ambitious area-wide ACP control program began
in August 2010 to monitor 6,000 citrus blocks every 3 weeks. While
data was supplied to growers in excel format, Dr. Jones made this
data more accessible to Gulf CHMA growers by placing updates and
an interactive map of pest pressure on the SWFREC website: (http://
www.imok.ufl.edu/entomology/extension/chma/). Growers in the
region also expressed great concern over increases in citrus leafminer (CLM) incidence and severity during the past 3 years. Damage
by leafmining leads to reduction in photosynthesis, malformation of
leaves, and increases susceptibility to canker. She has been evaluating
the use of pheromone traps for monitoring CLM populations, and
the effectiveness of early season sprays to reduce CLM and canker.
An economic analysis of CLM monitoring and management as a function of both crop value and susceptibility to citrus canker will provide
growers with affordable strategies to assess and manage CLM infestations over the range of citrus cultivars.

Technology safety, security and just some stuff
you may not know about
SIMPLE SAFETY TIPS
1. Do not leave valuables in plain sight.
It is very easy to walk in and out of many rooms at
the University without being confronted. If someone is looking to take your stuff don’t
make it easier for them by leaving your wallet, purse, phone or portable computers out
in the open.
2. Lock your doors and windows. Most of the buildings used by Plant Sciences have after
hours activities taking place within their walls. If you don’t already, be sure that your
office door is locked when you leave at the end of the day. Also be sure your ground
level windows are locked and that the external doors to your building close completely
when you leave.
3. If you use an external hard drive for onsite data backup do not leave it easily accessible.
Tonya Mueller
You can often run these devices into a nearby drawer or even simply hide it behind some
books. Making it difficult to get to may make it an undesirable or overlooked target for a thief.
4. Put a lock on your computer. This is a practice we commonly use in public areas throughout the Division but it
might also be a good investment for your office and lab. Combination and key lock options are available.
5. Keep a file of all purchasing receipts for equipment. Be sure to note the make, model and serial number of the equip ment on the receipt if it is not already included. In the event that your equipment is stolen, you will need this infor mation for both the police report and the insurance claim. If you have any hope of recovering the stolen items know ing the serial number is essential.
BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
Keeping a current backup is something we all know we need to do, but rarely are we diligent in making it happen. Whether
a computer is stolen, hardware fails or there is a natural disaster that takes your data there is only one way to protect your
data. YOU MUST HAVE IT STORED IN AN ALTERNATE LOCATION. Both Windows and MAC operating systems have built in
backup systems that you can setup to automatically backup your data. Alternatively external hard drives often come with their
own backup software that offer similar backup services.
An alternative to external hard drive storage is purchasing server space from the University Department of IT (DoIT). The
cost of this type of storage is $1/10GB/month. This may be a cost prohibitive option for those who need to store large amounts
of data, but if you would like to know more, please contact me.
You may be aware of cloud based backup services such as Carbonite.These external backup services ARE NOT approved by
the University of Missouri as an option for backing up University data. For information on Cloud Computing at the University
please visit: http://www.umsystem.edu/ums/is/cloud-computing-information.
EMAIL STORAGE
In the past space limits for faculty/staff email accounts was 5GB. To store email beyond that limit the DPS IT staff set up email
clients with “Personal Folders” stored locally on your hard drive. The limitation to personal folders is that when email is moved
to this folder, it is then only accessible when using the computer they are stored on. Email messages stored locally in a personal
folder are also vulnerable to a system crash or other loss of data. DoIT now has a faculty/staff email quota of 15GB. If you have
personal folders you would like moved back to the Exchange server so that you can access the data anywhere and so that it is
backed up with the rest of your email, please contact me or Gary.
In addition to the change in quota, the new email system has a built in record retention system. Please visit the following website for more information on how this system might benefit you. http://doit.missouri.edu/training/enterprise/email_exchange2010.html

Events & Activities
Field Day RECAP
IPM/Weed Field Day:
There were about 180 attendees at the Pest Management Field Day held at
the Bradford Research and
Extension Center on July
11th. The field day included
guided wagon tours with
stops that featured presentations of results by university weed scientists and weed
science grad students, plant pathologists, and entomologists.
Some of the featured presentations on the tours included
management of herbicide-resistant waterhemp and horseweed in Missouri crop production systems, a weed science
perspective on cover crops, and field crop disease management considerations. Those in attendance at the field
day took the information they learned at the field day to
make pest management decisions on more than 8 million
acres throughout the Midwest and beyond. This event is
also starting to get international attention, as this year there
were attendees from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Denmark.
Many thanks to all those within Plant Sciences who were
able to make the event a success.
Turf & Ornamental Field
Day: It was held on July 30th
at University South Farms.
In mirrored contrast to last
year, over 200 attendees enjoyed a fall-like mid 70°F July
morning filled with informative talks from programs led
by Drs. Hank Stelzer, Dave
Trinklein, Xi Xiong, Brad Fresenburg, and Lee Miller. Presentation topics included an update on invasive pests of urban trees, the emerging problem of downy mildew on impatiens, zoysiagrass lawn care, wetting agent use on golf putting
greens, and weed and disease management practices. In the
afternoon, groups were led on off-site tours of the Mizzou
Botanical Gardens, the newly renovated Columbia Country
Club, and the Mizzou Athletic Facilities. At lunch, a special
ceremony was held to honor the retirement of Dave Fore,
former company president of Atkins Inc, Missouri graduate, and staunch advocate of the program. Eleven industry
sponsors and sixteen vendors provided crucial support for
the event. A raffle held to support the Lobenstein fund,
which provides two $1000 undergraduate scholarships per
annum, also earned $860. Many thanks to CAFNR, DPS, the
Missouri Turf and Ornamental Council, South Farms, and
the Bradford Farm crew for their support of the event.
