There are two major problems associated with soil acidity and
lime response investigations:
A. Determining how much lime (100% "available" CaCO₃ equivalent)
is required to raise a soil pH (or degree of acidity) from i ...
Genetic differences, extent of hybrid vigor, nature of gene
action, heritability estimates, and associations among characteristics,
and between progenies and their respective mid-parents were determined
for seed and p ...
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972
prohibits the discharge of seafood processing solid wastes into
navigable waters after July 1, 1977. Oregon shrimp and crab processors
must use other methods ...
The effects of broadcast gypsum on infiltration rates, crusting,
aggregate stability, and runoff and sediment yields were analyzed
during the winter months on three West Oregon soils. The results were
used to evaluate ...
The semi-arid regions of the Pacific Northwest are
characterized by a high degree of annual temperature and
precipitation variation. As a result of this climatic
variation, dryland nitrogen fertilizer trials on fallow ...
A study was conducted to evaluate the properties of soils in
the fog belt area of the Oregon Coast Range. Soils in the study
were chosen to include only those belonging to Andepts or to andic
subgroups. Samples were c ...
Forest soils with low bulk densities are often considered less
susceptible to compaction than soils with higher bulk densities. The
objective of this study was to determine if soil strength controlled the
compression ...
Prevention of groundwater contamination by agricultural
chemicals requires an understanding of the complex
processes that control pesticide movement below the soil
surface. Through this understanding it is possible to ...
Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous
winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced
an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference
to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the ...
The continuum theory provides a framework in which the growth
of a plant root as a dynamic process involving interactions among
transport of water and solute, cell division, and the subsequent cell
elongation can be d ...
Gaseous transport through soil in the presence of soil
microorganisms has been investigated. More recently, modeling of
gaseous transport in the unsaturated zone has been investigated.
However, the problem of mathemat ...
Cuphea is an herbaceous genus having species whose seed
storage lipids are predominantly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
Cuphea lanceolate Ait, and Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. are central to
the breeding of Cuphea as ...
A negative relation between grain protein content and
grain yield is frequently observed in wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. em Thell) i.e. as grain yield increases, grain
protein decreases. It has been suggested that the ...
