Since its introduction in 1995 by Sun Microsystems, the Java programming language has been widely accepted by the software development community. Besides being a natural fit for Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) based applications, Java is also being used in other diverse application areas due to its simplicity, reduced...
CHARM is a parallel programming language that was originally implemented for a network of workstations each of which has only one processor. In this project, we ported CHARM for a network of workstations each of which has more than one processor (multi-computer) using multithreading to exploit the multiple processors.
Network...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices ( within the limits of experimentation) or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with three to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprays. Unless otherwise indicated, preplant...

For over 14 years there has been a Area Horticultural Extension Agent available to assist winegrape growers in Jackson and Josephine Counties with production problems by conducting educational programs and applied research projects. While the salary for this position is paid by Oregon State University Extension, support funds which pay...

Pinot noir and Chardonnay are the two main varieties in Oregon. Together they comprise approximately 60% of the Oregon winegrape acreage, and 64% of the total production for a value of $10,482,000 (69%). Internationally, clonal selection of Pinot noir and Chardonnay have made available, for each variety, an array of...
Five replicated rootstock trials established in Oregon's three main viticultural regions were evaluated for the effect of rootstock on Pinot noir performance. All the trials except Alpine included the following seven rootstocks: ungrafted Pinot noir, 3309 Couderc, 101-14 Millardet et De Grasset, 44-53 Malegue, 420 A Millardet et De Grasset,...
The Northwest Berry & Grape InfoNet (NBGI) went online December 29, 1995, and since that time it has become an important information and communications resource for the winegrape industry of the Northwest. It was accessed more than 14,000 times during its first year, and it is routinely used by grape...
Survey data compiled in 1995 showed that plant-pathogenic nematodes that cause yield loss in California and European vineyards are found in over 85% of Oregon vineyards. In over 37% of the samples collected, population densities of Xiphinema wnericanwn (dagger nematode) and Criconenw1la xenoplax (ring nematode) were greater than levels known...
Training descriptive analysis panels can be very costly, taking months to select and train panelists, develop descriptors and standards, and finally collect and analyze the data. Recently, the Oregon State University wine program has utilized industry winemakers to gather descriptive data on experimental wines. From 10-20 winemakers visit the university...
Three forecasting programs for scheduling fungicide applications were selected for comparison with the standard Oregon phenology based program. The UCDavis (California) program used leaf wetness and temperature early in the year and only temperature during the summer. The New York program was based on rainfall and temperature. The German Oi...
Proceedings of the 71st Annual Western Orchard Pest and Disease Management Conference, held January 8-10, 1997 at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
The nng nematode, Cnconenwlla xenoplax, has been reported to depress the vigor and yields of grapevines in Europe, California, Washington, and Michigan. Population densities of 500 C. xenoplax per kg of soil have reported to reduce vine yield 10-25% in California. A survey of Oregon vineyards found C. xenoplax in...
