The objective of this study was to determine interrelationships among agronomic traits in early and late maturing populations. Two populations were obtained from the crosses, Roussalka/Tesopaco 76 and Yamhill/Aspen. Seeds were space planted with split plot design and nine agronomic traits were observed. In comparative studies between early and late...
Chemicals are being sought that can control weeds in lettuce
under different environmental conditions, soil types and weed populations.
The extensive or repeated use of a herbicide may lead to important
changes in the weed population which call for new materials
that can take care of the modified situation.

Temperature and water potential effects on the growth,
transpiration, total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) content, and
nutrient uptake of sudangrass (Sorghum vulgare var. piper) were
investigated in laboratory experiments. The effect of nitrogen supply
on the growth and nutrient uptake at constant soil water potential was
also investigated in this study....
Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of environment
and several plant growth regulators on the physiology, quality,
and agronomic performance of snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. )
and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ). The potassium salts of
naphthenic acid and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, received particular
attention.
Application of potassium...
To determine the effect of bud pollination, compared to pollination
of open flowers and crossing, on field characteristics of broccoli progenies,
an experiment was conducted in 1974 and 1975 at Corvallis, Oregon.
Single plants of 55 broccoli lines were pollinated, using four methods,
i.e. bud pollination (BP), open flower pollination...
