Creator:: Jahns, Thomas R.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the literature, but quantitative evidence is lacking. Studies were undertaken to: 1) quantify meadowfoam pollination requirements and 2) evaluate...

Creator:: Fiez, Timothy E.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes R. Br. spp.), a source of C₂₀ and C₂₂ fatty acids, is a new industrial oilseed crop adapted to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Increased oil yield per land area may increase the rate of meadowfoam commercialization. Using two half-sib L. floccosa x L. alba lines, 85-765 and...

Abstract:: Inconsistent seed yields of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) interfere with profitable production of this new oilseed crop. Significant correlation of field grown meadowfoam seed yields with years having temperatures above 24°C in mid-May at Corvallis, OR., led to the hypothesis that ambient temperature during reproductive development affects meadowfoam seed yields....

Creator:: Franz, Robert E.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.), an open-pollinated herbaceous winter annual, is adapted to Mediterranean climates and produces a seed oil with industrial uses. Seed yield in meadowfoam is partially determined by the number of seeds produced per flower. The flower is protandrous with the stigmata becoming receptive 1-3 days after anther...

Creator:: McGahuey, Michael L.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam has been identified as a potential oilseed crop for production on poorly drained soils in areas with cool, moist winters. The effects of N fertilizer on meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) have been studied in Oregon and Maryland, but the results have not been consistent with respect to the effects...
