Creator:: Khemira, Habib
Abstract:: The effect of canopy orientation on fruiting performance of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.) and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'Doyenne du Comice' pears were studied. Hedgerows of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pear trees planted in 1969 in two orientations north-south (N-S) and east-west (E-W) were...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: angle of 170 from the vertical. Flower density (FD), flower buds per unit branch cross-sectional area

Creator:: Siller-Cepeda, Jorge H.
Abstract:: Growth, yield components and leaf area were evaluated on 'Starkspur Supreme Delicious' apple on nine rootstocks: MAC 24, EMLA 7, EMLA 26, OAR 1, MAC 9, 0.3, EMLA 9, M 9, and EMLA 27. Estimates of planting density based on growth, estimates of leaf area based on four independent variables...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: speed and simplicity, branch cross sectional area was chosen to predict leaf area. Total leaf area per

Creator:: Doty, Jean A.
Abstract:: The use of grass cover crops is a recommended practice in nonirrigated vineyards in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Two studies were initiated to investigate the competitive and noncompetitive effects of grass cover crops on the growth and development of Pinot noir grapevines. Two greenhouse pot culture experiments were performed to...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: season grasses. In the first experiment grass and uncallused grapevine cuttings were established

Creator:: Andersen, Peter C.
Abstract:: A series of experiments was designed to investigate differential flood-tolerance and the phenomenon of flood-induced stomatal closure of several fruit tree species. The first two experiments were conducted with potted plants submerged outdoors 5-10 cm above the soil line. Plant morphology, growth, leaf conductance (cL), and soil oxygen diffusion rate...

Creator:: Strang, John George
Abstract:: Spring frost damage to pears in the Pacific Northwest frequently results in substantial crop losses. This research was undertaken to investigate the effects of frost on pear buds, flowers, and fruit through controlled freezing tests and field studies in order to better understand the frost phenomenon and refine frost protection...

Full Text:: an experiment on Red Delicious apples, Borden and Thompson (1962) found that leaf nitrogen follows

Creator:: Crisosto, Carlos H.
Abstract:: In the Northwest, two tree fruit production problems may be related to the role of ethylene on plant growth and development: flowers and developing fruits are subject to low temperature injury during early spring, and to the low fruit set of 'Comice'. Ethylene may be involved in influencing dormancy and...
