The disease cycle for eastern filbert blight requires 2 or more years, including a 12- to 15-month latent period when no visible
symptoms can be detected. In the spring, spores are ejected forcibly (squirted) into the wind and rain. These spores then spread to
young, developing shoots. Infection occurs during...
There is growing concern among producers regarding the sustainability of current dryland winter wheat cropping practices. This study looks at the economic viability of three wheat rotations currently being studied at the Columbia Basin Research Center in Pendleton, Oregon, including W IF and two alternative rotations, W/B/F and C/W/F. The...
Blood levels of the egg yolk precursor vi-
tellogenin (VTG) can be used as a definitive marker for
the onset and progress of maturation in female teleosts.
In the present study, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) was developed to measure VTG in blood
plasma from three species of temperate basses....
Most expressions for infiltration rely upon the assumption of vertical uniformity in soil texture and hydraulic properties. We present an extension of the results of Beven [1982, 1984] for infiltration and lateral flow in soils with decreasing permeability with depth. Unlike Beven, we base the derivations upon joint changes in...
