Transmission efficiency and life table parameters of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) exposed to tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype

Creator:: Sether, Diane M.
Abstract:: Peppermint, Mentha piperita 'Black Mitcham' was established as a host for tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype (TSWV-I). TSWV-I infection of peppermint, initially observed in a research greenhouse (Corvallis, OR), included stunting and downward curling of leaves accompanied by bronzing, and occasionally tip necrosis. Young leaves appeared either symptomless, deformed, or...

Effects of intercropping beans with maize on angular leaf spot and rust of beans

Creator:: Boudreau, Mark Alan, 1958-
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine the nature of maize influence on bean disease in additive-type intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site combinations. Fertilization tended...

Factors influencing the effects of host diversity on plant disease epidemics for wheat stripe rust and potato late blight

Creator:: Garrett, Karen A.
Abstract:: Most studies of plant disease epidemiology have focused on epidemics in host populations composed of a single genotype. But crop plant diversity can be a useful means of improving the deployment of resistance genes. In a series of experiments with wheat stripe rust and potato late blight, we studied factors...

Land ownership and forest cover in the Oregon Coast Range : spatial pattern and social ground-truthing

Creator:: Stanfield, Brooks J.
Abstract:: We use qualitative and quantitative methods to explore social and spatial relationships between land ownership and forest cover in the Oregon Coast Range. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and regression analysis, we tested for spatial relationships between the structure of land ownership and forest cover across 66 watersheds in...

Effect of wheat cultivar mixtures on populations of Puccinia striiformis races

Creator:: DiLeone, Julie A.
Abstract:: This study quantified the frequency of simple versus complex races of Puccinia striiformis Westend. in mixtures of wheat cultivars possessing different race-specific resistance genes. A simple race of a pathogen can infect only one component, and a complex race of the pathogen can infect two or more components of an...

Ground dwelling beetles in early and late successional forests in the western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Heyborne, William H.
Abstract:: The effects of forest cutting on forested systems and the biotic components of those systems has been at the forefront of scientific research. The inventory and monitoring of biodiversity is one technique used for measuring the effects of forest management. Because bioinventory studies are expensive, indicator species are often sought...

Effects of host resistance on Mycosphaerella graminicola populations

Creator:: Cowger, Christina
Abstract:: Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces both sexually and asexually, and the pathogen population is highly genetically variable. Several unresolved questions about the epidemiology of this pathosystem are addressed by this...

Response of wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Cerambycidae) to prescribed understory burning in mixed-conifer stands of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Duane, Maureen V.
Abstract:: Prescribed burning is increasingly being used as a management tool to reduce potential fuels on the forest floor and promote stand vigor through removal of dense, crowded vegetation. Because fire affects both the standing vegetation and the amount of downed wood in the ecosystem, it is imperative to examine how...

Enhancement of biological control for postharvest diseases of pear

Creator:: Benbow, Jesse M.
Abstract:: Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...
