Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.) is slow to establish and
has low seed yields the year after establishment. Intercropping a cereal
grain during clover seed field establishment could provide additional
revenue to seed growers, provided that intercropping did not jeopardize
future clover seed yields. Factorial combinations of spring- and...
There are several grape disorders that reduce fruit
set. One, millerandage, is from poor fertilization to
produce "hen and chicken" or small seedless berries; while
another, Coulure, is the failure of grape flowers to
develop into berries. A third one, inflorescence necrosis
(INec), is a disorder that should be in...
The effect of nitrogen (N) application on seed yield of Limnanthes
alba was studied for two years at two locations. Seeding following alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.) was compared to establishment after wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.). Treatments used were a control (no N applied),
and two rates of N (50 and...
The effect of four basic liquid fertilizers: Solution 32, 10-34-0-.9, Thio-Sul, and Potash solution; and one commercial liquid fertilizer, Feast 9-18-9, on germination, emergence, and seedling growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were evaluated under laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions. Experiments included: 1) preliminary study of basic fertilizer sources to...
Excessive growth by red clover, Trifolium pratense L., grown for seed
interferes with maximum seed production and harvest in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
This study was conducted during 1986 and 1987 on red clover cv. Kenland to
determine if plant height and dry matter production could be inhibited and seed yields...
