Experiments were performed to determine the nature of
maize influence on bean disease in additive-type
intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf
spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya
indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the
disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site
combinations. Fertilization tended...
Southwest Oregon presents an environment of hot dry summers, cool moist winters, and rocky, shallow soils. The establishment of conifer plantations in this region presents challenging problems for initial seedling survival and subsequent growth. Three areas of concern include early conifer growth after seedling establishment, growth of competing hardwoods within...
