Abstract:: A study was undertaken to determine the reliability of the formation of a line of demarcation between paired cultures of Fomes cajanderi Karst. as an indicator of dissimilar compatibility genotypes. The results were applied to an assay of the number and location of compatibility genotypes in each of four glaze-damaged,...

Abstract:: Studies to identify the environmental factors that influence the rate of ectotrophic mycelial growth of Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson along Douglas-fir roots were undertaken both in the laboratory and in the field. The effects of soil pH, nitrogen, moisture, temperature, microorganisms and bulk density were investigated. In the lab, the...

Creator:: Cahill, James M.
Abstract:: A glaze storm of exceptional severity was seen in the Corvallis area, January, 1942. The weight of ice that accumulated in the crowns of young-growth Douglas-fir trees caused widespread top breakage in many stands lying in the broad path of this storm. Early research on this phenomenon showed the majority...

Creator:: Winton, Loretta M.
Abstract:: A hierarchical series of studies, based mainly on molecular data, was conducted to elucidate the life history of the Douglas-fir Swiss needle cast pathogen Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii at macro- and micro-evolutionary scales. This information was then utilized to design and evaluate molecular diagnostic tools for use in studies on the epidemiology...

Abstract:: Fusarium spp. are among the most important pathogens of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) seedlings in bareroot nurseries. Currently the most effective disease control method is soil fumigation with methyl bromide. As methyl bromide is phased out, however, other disease management strategies may become more important. We explored two alternative approaches to...
