Dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) is an aggressive native perennial that is found throughout much of the Southeast. Dogfennel is particularly troublesome in unimproved or overgrazed pastures where it adds to the decline of forage yield and quality. Although generally considered to be only unsightly, the leaves contain low levels of the toxin tremitol, which causes dehydration when ingested by cattle. Cattle do not normally feed on dogfennel, but it may be eaten when more suitable forages are lacking. Dogfennel is currently the number one most commonly occurring pasture weed in Florida. This document is SS-AGR-224 one of a series of the Agronomy Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Chewing insects can cause serious yield and quality losses in potatoes by feeding on the leaves, stems or tubers. Sucking insects can cause direct losses from feeding and indirect losses by transmitting viral diseases. The most important of these insects are described below. A table at the end of the chapter lists insecticides currently registered for potatoes.  This document is ENY-469 (which replaces ENY-438), one of a series of the Entomology & Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

There are numerous Rubus (blackberry and dewberry) species in the Southeastern U.S., many of which are found in Florida. Blackberry is commonly found in fence rows, ditch banks, and pastures and can be overlooked for extended periods of time. However, lack of management can give rise to thickets that are difficult to control. This document is SS-AGR-240, one of a series of the Agronomy Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Most homeowners over-water their lawns, which may damage or kill the lawn over time. Excess irrigation is one of the major causes of lawn demise and may include problems such as a shallow root system; increased disease, weed, or insect infestation; reduced drought tolerance; increased thatch and excessive growth; and reduced tolerance to other stresses such as shade and soil problems. To avoid over-watering, look for signs that the lawn needs water. This document is ENH63, one of a series of the Department of Environmental Horticulture, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Florida is home to 25 species of turtles representing seven families. Turtles (including tortoises and terrapins) can be terrestrial, aquatic, or semi-aquatic. In aquatic food pyramids, some turtles are top carnivores since they feed on other small aquatic animals and rarely become food themselves. Like other reptiles, turtles are poikilothermic (dependent on their surroundings for their body temperature).

The brown citrus aphid, Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy), was first detected in Florida in November 1995 in Dade and Broward counties. The brown citrus aphid now has spread throughout the citrus growing region of Florida and could, in future, spread to other citrus-growing regions in the USA. This document is EENY-181, one of the Featured Creatures series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Cooperative Extension Service,Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
