The effect of physical and hydraulic properties of peat moss and pumice on Douglas-fir bark based soil-less substrates

Creator:: Zazirska Gabriel, Magdalena
Abstract:: Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco] bark (DFB), sphagnum peat moss, and pumice are the most common substrate components used in the Oregon nursery industry. Despite the widespread use of these three components, little information is available on the effect of physical and hydraulic properties of peat moss and pumice on...

Cultural controls for suppressing Phytophthora cinnamomi root rot of blueberry

Creator:: Yeo, John R.
Abstract:: Phytophthora cinnamomi is a soilborne pathogen that causes root rot disease of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). When new installations of susceptible blueberry cultivars are infected with P. cinnamomi, plants often fail to grow significant new tissue, greatly reducing yields over the life of the planting. Chemical fungicides are available...

Seed quality and plant establishment studies of seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.)

Creator:: Baker, Stanley D.
Abstract:: Seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.) is an important warm-season perennial turfgrass, known for its tolerance to salinity. Turfgrass is used for homes, municipalities, sod farms, resorts, and sports fields. Seashore paspalum has historically been planted in sub-tropical and tropical climates because of its heat tolerance. Seashore paspalum could become an...

Soil quality dynamics in an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable agroecosystem

Creator:: Banners, Candace R.
Abstract:: Soil response and function were investigated following the adoption of an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable system in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. The experiment was conducted over three cropping seasons (2002-2004) at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm (Corvallis, OR). The design was a randomized complete-block with...

Preplant compost application improves landscape plant establishment and sequesters carbon in compacted soil

Creator:: Sullivan, Dan M.
Abstract:: Preplant compost application increased plant growth and visual appearance of a wide variety of perennial landscape plants. The positive plant growth response to compost was similar for com-post left on the soil surface or compost incorporated via rototilling. Compost application did not alleviate soil compaction. Plant growth response to compost...

Screening for Resistance of Potato Lines to the Potato Tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Creator:: Rondon, Silvia I., Brown, Charles R., and Marchosky, Ruben
Abstract:: The potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (PTW), is one of the most important limitations to potato, Solanum tuberosum L., productivity worldwide. Leaves, stems, petioles and more importantly, potato tubers, in the field and storage can be seriously affected. Due to the relatively recent arrival of the PTWin the United States...

Location of the Mechanism of Resistance to Amphorophora agathonica (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in Red Raspberry

Creator:: Lightle, D. M., Dossett, M., Backus, E. A., and Lee, J. C.
Abstract:: The aphid Amphorophora agathonica Hottes (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is an important virus vector in red (Rubus idaeus L.) and black (Rubus occidentalis L.) raspberries in North America. Raspberry resistance to A. agathonica in the form of a single dominant gene named Ag1 has been relied upon to help control aphid-transmitted plant...

Effects of X-Ray Exposure on Seed Quality of Pear (Pyrus betulifolia) and Peach (Prunus persica)

Creator:: Li, Jiyue
Abstract:: There is a perception that exposing seeds to x-ray in airports during export may affect the quality of seeds. This study was triggered when pear (Pyrus betulifolia) and peach (Prunus persica) grower reported that seeds quality was reduced after they were exposed to X-ray and tested in the final destination....

Growth and reproduction of annual bluegrass (Poa annua) in response to trinexepacethyl or prohexadione-calcium at multiple rates and application timings

Creator:: Faletti, Matthew T.
Abstract:: Field experiments were conducted in 2002 and 2003 in the Willamette Valley of Oregon to investigate the effects of two plant growth regulators on the growth and reproduction of the weed annual bluegrass. Previous research suggested that the plant growth regulator prohexadione-calcium hastened senescence of annual bluegrass. Another plant growth...
