Management of habitat for bats requires sound information on their habitat
requirements. I used radio telemetry to identify 80 roosts for 24 long-eared myotis
(Myotis evotis); 74 roosts were identified for 21 females a ...
'Anjou' pears were sprayed with 2 concentrations of
CaCl₂ during fruit development and harvested at 70 N flesh
firmness. Pears were held at -1.1°, 5°, 10°, or 20°C for up to
100 days then ripened at 20°C for 11 days. ...
The effect of planting density and nitrogen (N) fertilization on growth, yield, and N partitioning in young and mature 'Bluecrop' blueberry plants was studied over a two year period. Depleted 15N-ammonium sulfate was app ...
The usefulness of preplant nitrogen (N) in establishing
alfalfa in colder production areas has not been
well characterized. This study was conducted to determine
the effect of preplant N and soil temperature on
yield ...
Three rates of urea, urea-DCD, and NH₄N0₃ were soil
applied in April and August 1986 to strawberry selection
OR-US 4930 and cultivar 'Sumas' to determine effects of the
nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) and ...
The effects of five tillage treatments on soil bulk density and
mechanical impedance were examined on Newburg sandy loam soil in the
Willamette Valley, Oregon, in 1987. Subsequent effects on seedling
emergence and yie ...
Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) is a common associate and a potentially severe competitor of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) in the Oregon Coast Range. However, because it fixes nitrogen a ...
In Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley, cabbage maggot (CM), Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) often renders Brassica root crops unmarketable. Scheduled insecticides are the only current control. Studies were co ...
An alternative to traditional roofing, extensive green roofs are contained ecosystems consisting of a drainage layer, a thin media profile which is planted with hardy plant species. Extensive green roof plants must maint ...

A key mechanism utilized by plants to make iron (Fe) available for
uptake is the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via an inducible, plasma
membrane-bound Fe(III) reductase. Genes encoding such enzymes have
not yet been ...
