All possible single crosses from three different maturity
groups of 27 selected parental genotypes of tall fescue were established
in a randomized block experiment to be evaluated in 1962 for
five agronomic characters: height, width and maturity per plant;
self -seed yield per plant; and forage yield per plant. For...
A study was conducted to compare the competitive
ability with weeds of the short-strawed Gaines variety
wheat and taller growing varieties under different fertility
levels at three experimental locations. The
experiments were designed so that the effects of
variety, nitrogen fertilization, and weed competition
could be evaluated. The interactions between...
Field and laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the
survival of the root-nodule bacterium, Rhizobium trifolii, when
inoculated onto seeds of the pasture legume subterranean clover,
(Trifolium subterraneum L.), in order to improve the nodulation
and establishment of this plant in acid soils.
Field experiments were carried out in...
A diallel cross consisting of ten parents was grown on the
Hyslop Agronomy Farm near Corvallis, Oregon, in order to obtain
estimates of the gene action contributing to yield and its components
in wheat. Gene action estimates were obtained by two methods of
diallel analysis and from narrow sense heritability...
