ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.) biotypes in Oregon : Mechanism of resistance, fitness, and competition

Creator:

Park, Kee-Woong

Abstract:

Understanding the mechanism of resistance, relative fitness and competitiveness of herbicide resistant biotypes is important to predict population dynamics and to establish resistance management strategies. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and the mechanism of resistance of ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome...

Plot-Scale Field Investigation : Characterizing Water Motion in Sandy Agricultural Soils

Creator:

Nolasco, Stephanie M.

Abstract:

Irrigated agricultural production in sandy soils presents several unique challenges to growers, including naturally high permeability, low native water retention, as well as high rates of water drainage losses and leaching of chemicals to the shallow aquifers. This study is an initial investigation into water motion in the sandy agricultural...

Mechanisms of Organic Matter Accumulation and Feedbacks on Pore Space in Ferralsols/Oxisols Containing High Carbon Stocks

Creator:

Martinez, Pedro

Abstract:

Deeply weathered soils in tropical rainforests and savannas are classified as Ferralsols according to the World References Bases for Soil Resources (WRB). Ferralsols are most nearly akin to the Oxisols order defined in the US Soil Taxonomy. The acidity, low cation exchange capacity, and strong phosphorus retention by the oxidic...
