Sporobolus virginicus - Tested Release |
To determine if there are any significant differences between five accessions of Sporobolus
virginicus, which were collected from various locations in the Hawaiian Islands. A Release will be selected
based on propagation, vigor, and rate of growth. |
2006-2008 |
| HIPMC-P-8903-CP |
Contour Hedgerow / Alley Cropping Trial |
To assemble, test, and evaluate leguminous and non-leguminous plant accessions for use
in cropping systems where conventional conservation practices are limited or unavailable due to
topography, resources or enviornmental concerns. |
1989-2010 |
| HIPMC-P-8903C-P |
Contour Hedgerow / Alley Cropping Trial |
To assemble, test, and evaluate leguminous and non-leguminous plant accessions for use
in cropping systems where conventional conservation practices are limited or unavailable due to
topography, resources or enviornmental concerns. |
1989-2010 |
| HIPMC-P-9702-WL |
Wildlife Enhancement With Native Plants |
To assemble and evaluate growth characteristics of native dryland forest accessions for
applications for conservation use on severely eroded lands receiving less than 40 inches of precipitation
annually. |
1997-2011 |
| HIPMC-S-9803-CR |

Evaluate and increase vetivergrass for conservation use in HI and Pac Basin . Louisiana
Sunshine vetivergrass will be evaluated under field plantings throughout the State of Hawaii |
1998-2007 |
| HIPMC-S-9902-CR |
Kahoolawe Island Native Plant (Piligrass) Restoration Initiative |
Provide technical data and release document on the large scale propagation, management,
post harvest conditioning, cleaning and storage of Heteropogon contortus, piligrass. Technicial data and
seeds will be provided to the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to aid in the revegetation of
highly erodible sites on the island of Kahoolawe. |
1999-2009 |
| HIPMC-S-9903-CR |
Kahoolawe Island Native Plant (Aalii) Restoration Initiative |
Provide technical data and release document for the large scale, propagation, management,
post harvest conditionig and storage of Dodonaea viscosa, a'a'li'i. Technical data and seeds will be
provided to the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to aid in the restoration of highly erodible
sites on the island of Kahoolawe. |
1999-2005 |
| HIPMC-T-0001-CR |
Native Plant Haybales for Use on Highly Erodible Sites |
To investigate the potential use of Heteropogon contortus, piligrass as haybales in re-
vegetation work on the island of Kahoolawe. Haybales are baled with mature seeds and transported to
disturbed areas on the island of Kahoolawe. Bales are then used as mulch, physical barriers, and seed
source, |
2000-2009 |
| HIPMC-T-0201-CR |
Kahoolawe Island Native Plant (Emoloa) Restoration Initiative |
Provide technical data and release document on the large scale propagation, management,
post harvest conditioning, cleaning and storage of Eragrostis variabilis. Technicial data and seeds will be
provided to the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to aid in the revegetation of highly erodible
sites on the island of Kahoolawe. |
2001-2009 |
| HIPMC-T-0202-CR |
Kahoolawe Island Native Plant (Aweoweo) Restoration Initialtive |
Provide technical data and release document on the large scale propagation, management,
post harvest conditioning, cleaning and storage of Chenopodium oahuense, Aweoweo. Technicial data
and seeds will be provided to the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to aid in the revegetation
of highly erodible sites on the island of Kahoolawe. |
2001-2009 |
| HIPMC-T-0602-WI |
Polyscais guilfoylei - Growth-Rate Effects from Nitrogen Supplements |
The objective is to produce a growth-rate in panax (Polyscias guilfoylei) that is comparable to
that of Erythrina variegata or 'Tropic Coral'. An attemp will be made to stimulate a faster growth-rate for two
accessions of panax by testing various nitrogen treatments. |
2006-2011 |
| HIPMC-T-9801-WI |
Acacia koaia Windbreak Establishment |
Utilizing native hardwood trees for farmstead windbreaks. This includes propagation and
cultural techniques for their establishment. |
