Modification of phyllosphere environments to enhance establishment of Gliocladium roseum, an antagonist of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Bennett, Robert J. (Robert Joe), 1953-
Abstract:: Radial colony growth of three isolates of Gliocladium roseum and three isolates of Bottytis cinerea were measured on 1/4 strength potato dextrose agar amended with concentrations of NaHCO₃ ranging from 0-2% (w/v). Compared to the control, reductions in colony diameter of the B. cinerea isolates ranged from 60-79% and 73-89%...

Response to fenamiphos, extraction techniques and population dynamics of Pratylenchus penetrans on western Oregon red raspberry

Creator:: Lolas, Mauricio
Abstract:: The effects of fenamiphos on soil and root populations of Pratylenchus penetrans were evaluated in four red raspberry cv. Willamette fields in Northwestern Oregon. Field 1 was a silty clay loam with 53% organic matter (OM). Field 2 and 3 were silty loam soils with 3.25 and 2.55% OM, respectively...

Identification of Viruses Associated with Raspberry Leaf Curl Disease

Creator:: Guzman Martinez, Melinda
Abstract:: Raspberries are an important commodity worldwide, with the United States (U.S.) leading fourth in global production in 2017. An important factor when shipping propagated Rubus across the globe is the security of clean plant material verified through pathogen detection methods which is vital in preventing disease spread. A raspberry virus...

Distribution of Phytophthora rubi and Pratylenchus penetrans in Pacific Northwest Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) Fields

Creator:: Kroese, Duncan R.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest produces over 95% of the nation’s processed red raspberries, valued at over $65 million. Two of the major soilborne pathogens effecting the production of raspberry in this region are the oomycete Phytophthora rubi, which causes root rot in red raspberry plants, and the plant-parasitic nematode Pratylenchus penetrans,...

Enhancement of biological control for postharvest diseases of pear

Creator:: Benbow, Jesse M.
Abstract:: Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...

Integration of Evolutionary Theory and Genomics to Understand Processes Involved in Host Adaptation and Divergence in Phytophthora Plant Pathogens

Creator:: Tabima, Javier F.
Abstract:: Modern plant pathology benefits from integrating methods and concepts from evolutionary biology. For example, evolutionary concepts are used to identify and examine species boundaries of plant pathogens, recognize processes underlying pathogen biogeography, identify traits that characterize emerging species, and discover new molecular interactions that originate under processes of selection. In...

Effect of a broccoli green manure, soil solarization, and isolates of Verticillium dahliae on Verticillium wilt of agronomic and nursery crops

Creator:: Berlanger, Ingrid E.
Abstract:: Green manures, soil solarization, and long rotations with crops not susceptible to Verticillium wilt are among the disease management tactics currently under investigation as alternatives to chemical fumigation of soil. The effect of a broccoli green manure on soil microsclerotial populations of three isolates of Verticillium dahliae and on Verticillium...

The Primary Disease Gradient of Wheat Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Farber, Daniel
Abstract:: Wheat stripe rust (WSR), also called yellow rust of wheat (Tricitum spp.), causal agent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease of major economic importance on wheat, especially grown in temperate locations. WSR causes major losses of wheat yield, estimated at nearly $ 1 billion per year, and...

Verticillium wilt of hops : pathogenicity, host range, and temperature relations of the causal agents

Creator:: Zehsazian, Hassan
Abstract:: Verticillium wilt of hops in Oregon, caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., was first reported in 1956. Later, V. albo-atrum Reinke & Berth. was also isolated from infected hop plants, and thus both species of the fungus were shown to be the causal agents of the disease in Oregon. The purpose...

Population dynamics, extraction, and response to nematicide of three plant parasitic nematodes on peppermint (mentha piperita L.)

Creator:: Merrifield, Kathryn J.
Abstract:: The efficiencies of wet sieving/sucrose centrifugation (WS/SC) recovery of Pratylenchus penetrans (59 %), Paratylenchus sp., (80 %), and Criconemella xenoplax (66 %) were established. Baermann funnels (BF) recovered significantly more P. penetrans (p = 0.01) and significantly less (p = 0.01) C. xenoplax than did WS/SC. While densities of P....

Understanding sporulation and dissemination of Podosphaera macularis, hop powdery mildew

Creator:: Peetz, Amy B.
Abstract:: Podosphaera macularis causes one of the most important diseases, powdery mildew, of Humulus lupulus (hop). If left unmanaged, hop powdery mildew can cause total crop loss due to disease or browning of hop cones rendering the cones unmarketable to buyers. The Hop Powdery Mildew Infection Risk Index (HOPS) is heavily...
