Sorghum discussed as low-water alternative crop for Nevada at virtual workshop

Wednesday, March 3, 2021 1:00 AM

With Nevada’s harsh weather and low precipitation, producers are considering crop and irrigation options that use less water than traditional crops such as alfalfa, that maintain a high yield and profitability.

Now is the time for pruning mature apples and pears

Tuesday, March 2, 2021 1:00 AM

If you haven’t pruned your fruit trees, time is running out. The optimum time for pruning is during the dormant season (December thru the middle of March). Remember, a good fruit tree should not make a good shade tree. However, when pruning is neglected, many apples and pears become better shade producers than fruit producers. Standard-sized trees often outgrow the reach of ladders or pruning hooks. Backyard and commercial growers have come to prefer dwarf or semi-dwarf trees, which are not as tall and are easier to prune, spray, and harvest without the use of ladders.
Senior center needs lunchtime volunteers

Tuesday, March 2, 2021 1:00 AM

Lovelock is taking its first tentative steps toward normalcy. High school football is back, along with soccer and volleyball. On the other side of the life spectrum, scores of people are eager to eat lunch at the senior center again.
With luck, the center will reopen to congregate dining on Monday, Mar. 15. For that to happen, they need volunteers.
The Pershing County Senior Center is located on 630 Western Avenue in a house the color of daffodils. They closed to the lunch crowd about a year ago. However, drivers still brought hot meals to anyone too sick to leave home. They also shuttled people to the grocery store, pharmacy and other stops.
Climate change and suppression tactics are critical factors increasing fires

Thursday, February 25, 2021 1:00 AM

The millions of people affected by 2020’s record-breaking and deadly fires can attest to the fact that wildfire hazards are increasing across western North America.
Both climate change and forest management have been blamed, but the relative influence of these drivers is still heavily debated. The results of a recent study show that in some ecosystems, human-caused climate change is the predominant factor; in other places, the trend can also be attributed to a century of fire suppression that has produced dense, unhealthy forests.

New medical trailer for COVID-19 testing

Wednesday, February 24, 2021 1:00 AM

A new tool that could help defeat the coronavirus arrived in Pershing County last week. The Health Incident Trailer will mobilize COVID-19 testing and vaccination clinics and could serve the entire county now and after the pandemic according to County Commissioner Carol Shank.
“As you are aware, Pershing County has several populated areas: Lovelock, Rye Patch/Oreana, Imlay/Unionville and Grass Valley,” she told a reporter last week. “Utilizing the CARES funds to purchase the medical trailer allowed the county to not only have it available for use during the COVID Pandemic but also for medical clinic outreach throughout the entire county.”

Titanium and ultraviolet light powerful combination against SARS-CoV-2 virus

Thursday, February 18, 2021 1:00 AM

Research to control and mitigate SARS-CoV-2 particles that linger on surfaces has shown that titanium oxide coated materials subjected to ultraviolent light can be highly effective in killing the virus, according to a study at the University of Nevada, Reno.
“Our work indicates that surfaces protected with a well-known photoresponsive oxide coating serve as effective deterrent to the proliferation of COVID-19 surrogates,” Ravi Subramanian, a chemical and material science engineering associate professor developing the new technology at the University, said. “We use a relatively common material called titanium dioxide (found in some toothpastes for example), but prepared in the form of nanotubes, along with UV light as the key agents to destroy the viral particles.”
