Copper deficiency and Mo-induced Cu deficiency are nutrition
problems of ruminant livestock in the Burns and Klamath Falls area
of Oregon. Chemical analysis of plant and soil samples was used to
survey Cu and Mo levels in forage in these areas. The objectives
were to assess the possibility of animal...
A series of nine experiments designed to evaluate the effects
of N, P, and K fertilizers on the production of wheat in western
Oregon were seeded in the fall and carried through the 1967 growing
season. The experimental sites were selected to represent different
soils that are used for production...
The research presented in this thesis evaluated the effects of
uranyl (UO₂⁺⁺) upon the absorption of Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cl. Due
to the biological importance of Na and K, these two ions were
studied in the greatest detail.
The results of this research showed that, at UO₂⁺⁺ concentrations...
During the summer of 1967 a fertilizer survey was conducted
to determine the nutrient status of peppermint fields, the nutrient
concentration of plant tissue and the oil content of peppermint in
Oregon.
Plant and soil samples and the field's fertilizer history
were collected from cooperators in
Oregon's peppermint growing
areas...
Three greenhouse experiments were designed to measure the
effects of N, K and Cl on the nutrient uptake by Russet Burbank potatoes
(Solanum tuberosum). A Deschutes sandy loam soil from Powell
Butte area in Central Oregon, low in potassium, was used to study
these effects.
Nitrogen applications produced significant increases...
Two field experiments were established during the spring of
1970 in an effort to characterize the effects of nitrogen fertilizer and
plant maturity on the yield, composition and quality of peppermint
(Mentha piperitta var. Mitcham) oil. These experiments were located
in central Oregon, near Madras, and in the Willamette Valley,...
