Creator:: Wanjagi, Francis Ndung'u
Abstract:: In a series of greenhouse experiments, isolates representing serotypically distinct subpopulations of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii recovered from root nodules of field-grown subclover Trifolium subterraneum cv. "Nangeela"), were evaluated for their symbiotic effectiveness potential, their effect on regrowth potential of subclover, and for their competitive abilities to form nodules. Isolates...

Creator:: Turner, J. Kevin
Abstract:: Rapid tiller and root production can improve seedling survival and benefit stand establishment of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in commercial seed fields. Environmental conditions after establishment and inherent morphological factors combine to reduce the commercially harvested yield below the theoretical potential yield. These studies were conducted to determine if...

Creator:: Sanchez, Enrique E.
Abstract:: The dynamics of N was studied in field grown Comice/Provence quince BA29 pears in Medford, Oregon. Total tree biomass, N content, and ¹⁵N evaluations suggest that young pears require little N (48 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). About 45% of total tree N present in dormant trees was remobilized into new...

Creator:: Costa, Jose Maria
Abstract:: A negative relation between grain protein content and grain yield is frequently observed in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) i.e. as grain yield increases, grain protein decreases. It has been suggested that the inverse relation between grain yield and protein is in part the result of developing high yielding...

Creator:: Maxwell, Bruce D.
Abstract:: Salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) are clonal shrub species common to reforestation sites in the Oregon Coast Range. These species have economic importance, because they reduce conifer seedling growth and survival. A population modeling approach was used to facilitate study of the biology of these species and to...
