Ecophenology and Control of European Frogbit in a Hybrid Cattail Marsh of the St. Marys River, Michigan

Creator:: Wellons, Kathryn C.
Abstract:: Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in...

Micropropagation of Pyrus rootstocks

Creator:: Yeo, Dennis
Abstract:: The availability of new pear rootstocks could be increased by development of an efficient micropropagation system. Many P. calleryana, P. betulifolia and P. communis rootstocks are resistant to many pear diseases and are graft compatible with leading cultivars. Explains of three potentially useful rootstock selections P. calleryana Decne 'OPR 157',...

Water Efficiency for Urban Landscapes in Semi-Arid Environments

Creator:: Martinson, Richard W.
Abstract:: Urban landscape water use is increasingly a focus of water conservation efforts. This is especially true in the arid and semi-arid regions of the western United States where increased demand, environmental concerns, and extended periods of drought have created chronic water shortages. However, until recently, little attention has been paid...

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...

Traditional and molecular approaches to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus resistance in Cucurbita

Creator:: Brown, Rebecca Nelson
Abstract:: Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an important disease of Cucurbita worldwide. Resistant cultivars are the best means of control. ZYMV resistance is quantitative in the wild species C. ecuadorensis, and is controlled by at least three genes in tropical C moschata. Very little molecular work has been done in...

Effects of inoculation with rhizobium and nitrogen fertilizer on snap beans, soybeans and lima beans

Creator:: Ma, Mei-hwa Wang
Abstract:: The responses of 'Oregon 1604' snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), 'Early Thorogreen' lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.), and 'Takii's Extra Early' soybeans (Glycine max L.) to two methods of inoculation with rhizobium (seedcoating and furrow treatments) and rates of nitrogen fertilizer were studied in field experiments. Nitrogen rates ranged from...

Effect of planting method, weed management, and fertilizer on plant growth and yield of newly established organic highbush blueberries

Creator:: Larco, Handell O.
Abstract:: A 0.4 ha planting of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was established in Oct. 2006 to evaluate the effects of cultivar (Duke and Liberty), planting method (flat versus raised beds), weed management (sawdust mulch and hand-weed control; compost plus sawdust mulch with acetic acid, flaming, and hand-weeding used as needed; and...

Phenotyping Ornamental Plants: Case Studies in Fruit Quality Attributes from Vaccinium ovatum and Disease Resistance of Cotoneaster spp.

Creator:: Neill, Kristin E.
Abstract:: Landscape plants are highly diverse and nursery producers often grow thousands of taxa to satisfy the varied needs and aesthetic tastes of consumers. Related to this diversity, ornamental plant breeders must be nimble and diverse in their approach. Two seemingly disparate studies were conducted to investigate improving ornamental shrubs –...

Genome sizing and fire blight resistance screening in Cotoneaster

Creator:: Rothleutner, Joseph J.
Abstract:: Cotoneaster is an ornamental shrub valued for showy flowers, berries and architecture as well as the ability tolerate adverse conditions under which other taxa fail. Cotoneaster is a highly diverse genus of over 400 species, of which few are available in the US nursery trade. Some species commercially available have...
