Optimization of Agrochemical Application Technologies, Strategies and Chemical Control of Spotted-wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), Diptera: Drosophilidae as a Model Organism and Identification of Trisiloxane and Silane Surfactants in Agricultural Spray Adjuvants and Reference Materials

Creator:: Mermer, Serhan
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an insect of global concern that causes serious damage to soft-skinned fruits. D. suzukii is widespread in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia and is listed as an invasive pest with strict quarantine protocols governing import and export. Given the damage caused by D....

Winter Squash: Production and Storage of a Late Winter Local Food

Creator:: Wetzel, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Winter squash is an important late winter vegetable crop for local and regional markets; however, farmers in western Oregon report that this crop is marginally profitable due to losses in storage and relatively low yields for the high culinary value kabocha and buttercup types. In order to increase the sales...

A Study of Urban Vegetable Garden and their Soils in Corvallis and Portland, OR

Creator:: Nelson, Michael, II
Abstract:: Urban agriculture (UA) is defined as the production of food crops or livestock within urban areas. Despite its popularity in the United States, research into UA systems suffers from a general underrepresentation of commercial urban systems. As a result, urban growers often have unique technological needs that are unmet by...

Effects of plant population on plant characteristics and yield of bush snap beans

Creator:: Hatch, Duane Leroy
Abstract:: 'Tendercrop' and 'OSU 949' green snap beans were grown at populations varying from 77,000 to 392,000 plants per acre with two row spacings and six square arrangements ranging from 4 x 4 to 9 x 9 inches. Maximum yield of 10.1 tons per acre (32 percent sieve size 4 and...

The effects of plant population and nitrogen on sweet corn yields

Creator:: Moss, Joe Dick
Abstract:: The response of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa cultivar Jubilee) to 12 populations and four nitrogen rates was studied in a field experiment. Populations ranged from 43, 904 to 329,800 plants/ha with nitrogen levels ranging from 0 to 224 Kg/ha. A systematic spacing design was used. Plant height,...

Developmental anatomy of Phaseolus vulgaris L. as influenced by temperature

Creator:: Wivutvongvana, Manee
Abstract:: Bush snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cvs 'G5O' (Gallatin 50) and 'OSU58' (Oregon 58) were used for anatomical and morphological studies of their responses to three levels of temperature. The plants were grown in a controlled chamber under a 16-hour photoperiod at 60°/50°, 70°/60° and 80°/70°F (day/night temperature), respectively. The...

Beans, cabbage, and sugar beets in a chemically suppressed sod of Manhattan II perennial ryegrass

Creator:: Rinehold, John W.
Abstract:: Crops were planted into tilled strips in an established perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. 'Manhattan II'), sod covering various portions (55%, 66%, 77%) of the row width. Italian beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. 'Romano II') biomass and yields showed a trend among sod strips with lower yields produced in plots with...

Vine morphology and influence of shading on yield, fruit quality, and flower bud initiation in hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta)

Creator:: Tiyayon, Chantalak
Abstract:: Morphology of Actinidia arguta (Sieb. et Zucc) Miq. 'Ananasnaya' vines was studied at two sites in Oregon in 1998 and one site in 1999. Three-year-old vines at site 1 and 8-year-old vines at site 2 were observed. Five types of fruiting wood were studied: spur; one-year-old from the cordon, from...

Breeding and genetics of lilacs and hardy hibiscus

Creator:: Lattier, Jason D.
Abstract:: Lilacs are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae family consisting of 22 to 30 species. There are six series within genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Fertility and cross-compatibility among cultivars, species, and series have yet to be formally investigated. Over three years,...

Field Grafting Grapevines in Oregon

Creator:: Strik, Bernadine C.
Abstract:: There are basically two types of grafting, bench grafting and field grafting. Worldwide the main reasons for bench grafting vines are: a) to obtain vines of the desired fruiting variety on roots resistant to phylloxera or nematodes, or b) to obtain vines on roots tolerant to certain soil conditions such...
