| Get It Growing: Keep Your Houseplants Happy Whether we admit it or not, heat and humidity this time of year make gardening outside less enjoyable. I have to confess to retreating into the coolness of my air-conditioned home and spending less time in the garden now that mid-summer has arrived. But when I don’t spend as much time in my outside garden, I can turn to my collection of indoor plants to keep me happy. |
| [Image: Red River Research Station]About Red River Research Station Located just south of Bossier City on 572 acres, the Red River Research Station is engaged in crops, horticultural, beef cattle and environmental research. The station is a leader in greenhouse tomato studies and has constructed wetlands to study the effects of runoff from agricultural fields. It also conducts disease and entomological research on cotton, corn and soybeans-crops common to northwest Louisiana. |

| [Image: Tomatoes]Greenhouse Tomato Production Manual This manual is intended to help small greenhouse tomato growers in Louisiana and elsewhere grow a successful crop using perlite or pine bark medium. Small growers can produce vine-ripened, high-quality fruit that can be delivered to the local market on the same day of harvest. |

| Bumblebee Pollination of Small Greenhouse Tomato Operations Bumblebee pollination of small greenhouse tomato operations may not be the best option, but simple changes made a difference. |
| Reusing Perlite to Grow Greenhouse Tomatoes Sifting and disinfecting used perlite is a simple technique developed at the LSU AgCenter Red River Research Station to recycle perlite for repeat use as a growing media. The recycled perlite was used for 10 years so far with no negative impact on tomato yield. |
| [Image: Map showing Louisiana variety trial locations]Louisiana Cotton Variety Trials Cotton performance trials are conducted annually by LSU AgCenter scientists to evaluate lint yield, fiber quality and agronomic performance of cotton varieties and strains. The Cotton Variety Tests are conducted at four locations that represent the major cotton regions of Louisiana. |
