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 ...

Energy input comparisons between tillage systems; evaluation of the value of legumes as part of a cover crop mixture used in strip-till sweet corn production; evaluation of the nitrogen contribution of legume-based cover ...
