Between 2008 and 2011 we conducted a series of controlled experiments performed with commercial maple equipment to investigate the potential effects of the use of RO on the composition, properties, and flavor of the maple syrup produced.
An Excel spreadsheet that can be used to determine the effects of replacing or cleaning spouts and droplines on sap yield and profit.
Calculates projected sap yield and net profits based upon known relationships between tubing aging and various management strategies under vacuum conditions.
Tapping depth strongly influences both sap yield and wounding. Numerous studies have focused on the amount of sap produced with ifferent depths, the most extensive work conducted by Morrow (1963), who found a tendency for increasing sap yields with increasing taphole depth. However, this work was conducted on gravity with 7/16” tapholes, so is less informative to most producers using 5/16” spouts and vacuum.
An Excel spreadsheet that can be used to determine the potential yields and profit from producing birch syrup.
Root starch has been used to estimate tree vigor and health with some success. A visual method of starch determination similar to that already used for roots has been undertaken for twigs. If successful, this method would simplify the process of assessing overall tree health and vigor in sugar maple trees.
Feedback received from early users of Leader check-valve adapters, developed by the UVM Proctor Maple Research Center.
Presents research on taps and tapping practices to maximize yield. Also explains sap flow and tree wounding.
The goal of this project was to examine the effects of liming and fertilization on tree physiology, growth and sugar production of a moderately fertile maple stand. In this first report, we describe, in general terms, the study area, treatments, and results of liming and fertilization on tree physiology and growth.
In this article we describe the effects of fertilization and liming on sugar production in maple stands.
