Some factors that affect pollination and seed formation in alfalfa, Medicago sativa L

Creator:: Bradner, Norman Richard
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were (a) to measure the amount of cross-pollination caused by three bee species at 10, 20 and 40 rods distance from a foreign pollen source, (b) to measure the effects of bee species, planting pattern and season on broad sense heritability estimates for seed yield...

The distribution, growth habits, and control of German velvetgrass (Holcus mollis L.) in Western Oregon

Creator:: Lee, William O., 1911-
Abstract:: A study was conducted on German velvetgrass (Holcus mollis L.), a weedy, rhizomateous perennial grass introduced in the United States in relatively recent years, The purpose of this study was to learn more about its distribution, growth habits, and control under conditions found in Western Oregon. German velvetgrass infestations of...

Forest associations and secondary plant succession in the southern Oregon coastal range

Creator:: Bailey, Arthur Wesley, 1938-
Abstract:: Forest associations, secondary succession, and relationships of plant communities to Roosevelt elk were investigated. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units and an understanding of secondary succession by habitat-type were a necessary first step in investigations into browsing of conifers by elk. The study was jointly conducted by the Oregon State...

Vegetation and animal responses to grazing crested wheatgrass at three intensities and two seasons in southern Idaho

Creator:: Sharp, Lee Ajax
Abstract:: Land useable for livestock grazing in the western United States is diminishing because of spreading municipalities, irrigation developments, highway construction, recreational demands and withdrawals. Concurrently, the demand for livestock and livestock products is increasing because of a rapidly growing population. As a result, production from the grazing land that remains...

Influence of range improvement practices on composition, production, and utilization of Artemisia deer winter range in central Oregon

Creator:: Urness, Philip J.
Abstract:: Recent emphasis on range improvement of sagebrush-bunch-grass types in Oregon has underscored the need for better understanding of their importance to deer winter range management. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of various sagebrush control practices on the composition, production, and utilization of deer forage plants...

Effects of seeding and grazing on a clearcut-burn in a mixed-coniferous forest stand of the Wallowa mountain foothills

Creator:: Pettit, Russell Dean
Abstract:: Research was conducted in a mixed-coniferous forest stand that was clearcut, burned, and seeded in order to study early plant succession, grazing influences on native and introduced species, big game use, and environmental relationships vegetation, animal, and environmental research was carried out from 1965 to 1967 in three, five-acre exclosures...

The biology and behavior of the alkali bee Nomia melanderi Cockerell (Hymnoptera: Apoidea)

Creator:: Hackwell, Glenn Alfred
Abstract:: Nomia melanderi Cockerell is one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in Eastern Oregon. Emergence begins in June, usually reaches its peak in early July, and may continue into early August. Male emergence precedes female emergence by four or five days. For the first few weeks of this time,...

Environmental and genetic factors affecting seed set in Dactylis glomerata L.

Creator:: West, David L.
Abstract:: Field, growth chamber, and greenhouse studies were carried out to evaluate factors that cause low seed set in Dactylis Glomerata L. The variety, 'Latar', and the parental clones of the variety, 'Pennlate', were studied in detail. Floral anatomy investigations indicated that 98 percent of Dactylis flowers opened at Corvallis in...

Influence of chelating agents on genetic recombination of Zea mays L.

Creator:: Ihrke, Charles Albert
Abstract:: Crossover frequencies for seven selected regions on five chromosomes of maize were measured to ascertain the effect of chelating agents on recombination. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, EDTA, and dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO, were used in three concentrations singly, and in all combinations. Plants heterozygous for for linked genes governing seed and seedling...

Forage production and utilization in relation to deer browsing of Douglas-fir seedlings in the Tillamook Burn, Oregon

Creator:: Crouch, Glenn Leroy, 1929-
Abstract:: The main objective of this investigation was to evaluate relationships between the production and utilization of forage and deer browsing of hand-planted Douglas-fir seedlings. A secondary purpose was to study some effects of selected physical and biological site factors on the survival and growth of fir seedlings. Field work was...
