Evaluating the Potential of Protein Supplements and Probiotics for Improving Honey Bee Health and Understanding Honey Bee Behaviors Related to Social Immunity

Creator:: Chapkin, Elissa R.
Abstract:: Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) play a vital role in pollinating cultivated crops worldwide. Honey bee colony declines reported in the past two decades have been associated with stressors such as pests and diseases, pesticide exposure, and poor nutrition. In the wake of these colony declines, beekeepers have strived to...

Organic Pelletized Chicken Manure Application Rates and Effects on Novel Asian Vegetables in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Velazquez, Hannah D.
Abstract:: Daikon, mizuna, mizspoona, and komatsuna are novel Asian vegetables for which a market exists in Oregon, especially in the organic sector. However, these crops are currently not grown widely in the area, despite the favorable growing environment of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Little is known about the appropriate application level of...

Improving Honey Bee Health: Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Oxalic Acid Vaporization Tactic for Varroa destructor Control and Understanding Factors Triggering European Foulbrood Disease

Creator:: Bozkus, Mustafa
Abstract:: Honey bees are vital for our food production and ecosystem due to their critical pollination services. The beekeepers in the United States and worldwide have reported significant colony losses for over fifteen years. Several stressors are implicated in these colony declines, including parasites, diseases, poor nutrition, and pesticide exposure. There...

Evaluating the Effects of Alleyway Management on the Performance of Dry-Farmed Pinot noir Grown in Different Soils

Creator:: Lange, Mathew
Abstract:: Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are predominately planted to perennial grass cover in the alleyways of vineyards. This grass cover is grown to increase worker and equipment traction, as well as reduce erosion and manage vine vegetative vigor. However, with increasing frequencies of drought and warming temperatures, the use of...

Development of a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population and analysis of a nested association mapping (NAM) population for improvement of genetic resistance to white mold in snap bean

Creator:: Ağır, Ahmet R.
Abstract:: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) comes in a huge assortment of fresh and dried varieties, including snap beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. Together, these and other market classes provide a third of the daily dietary protein in some cultures, particularly in Africa, Asia, and developing nations in the Americas....

Fingerprinting, reproductive behavior and pollinator dynamics of Buddleja davidii and interspecific hybrids

Creator:: Still, Cara M.
Abstract:: Buddleja davidii (butterfly bush) is a highly adaptable landscape plant known for pollinator attraction. Unfortunately, it is also regarded as an invasive plant in highly disturbed environments across the globe. It is an invasive species in Oregon, officially classified as a class B noxious weed in 2004. Currently the state...

Genome Resource Development for Advancement of Corylus avellana Breeding

Creator:: Talbot, Samuel Corcoran
Abstract:: The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a tree nut crop that is important in Oregon, which produces 99% of the United States’ hazelnuts but only 5% of the world’s supply. In order to maintain this market share, farmers in Oregon need cultivars that produce high quality nuts, mature early,...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Quantification and Application of Key Traits

Creator:: Park, Hayley E.
Abstract:: Improving crop cultivars for use on organic farms is pertinent, as current elite germplasm is less resilient within the more variable context of organic farm environments. Although a growing number of studies have focused on organic plant breeding in cereal crops, very few have focused on vegetable crops, especially those...

Non-nutritive Sugars as a Management Tactic for Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) and Non-Target Effects

Creator:: Price, Briana E.
Abstract:: With confirmation of non-nutritive sugar, erythritol, having insecticidal properties to Dipterans, this thesis research focuses on use of erythritol as a human-safe management tool for small berry and cherry pest, Drosophila suzukii, commonly referred to as spotted-wing drosophila. Drosophila suzukii is a destructive invasive fruit fly from Asia with an...

Efficacy of Cultural Practices for Mitigating the Negative Impacts of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus on Vine Physiology and Fruit Composition in Oregon Pinot Noir

Creator:: Copp, Cody R.
Abstract:: The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....
