Twenty-three sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by common smut.

Objective for 2008 and Accomplishments: The purpose of this proposed research is to determine whether ascospores of S. sclerotiorum can be detected in experimental bean plantings by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Objectives: to determine the impact of 1.fall Contans applications on Coniothyrium minitans (Cm) infection and survival of sclerotia left on the soil surface through the winter and summer 2.the impact of summer irrigat ...

Research efforts were focused on testing various inbred combinations for hybrid produc-tion, and evaluating commercial cultivars for adaptation to Oregon growing conditions and for head rot resistance.

Objectives: Develop broccoli varieties adapted to western Oregon with suitable quality, high yields, and disease resistance. Specific traits include: Early to midseason maturity Concentrated yield potential Head rot ...

Planting date/cultivar evaluation: Thirty-six sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by common smut (Table 1). Plots were seeded to 30,800 plants/acre on May 16 and Jun 23 on the Hermisto ...

Twenty-five sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by common smut.

Project Objectives 1. Develop and evaluate a Pilot IPM scouting program for the WSCB in snap beans 2. Determine the seasonal aggregation and movement patterns within diversified vegetable cropping systems 3. Evaluate ...

Summary Irrigation effects on root rot and yield  Reducing irrigation during the first 6 weeks after planting reduced root rot of sweet corn at midseason and at harvest, consistent with findings of the past two years. ...
