  • Biology of sweet cherry powdery mildew

    Creator:
    Calabro, Jill M.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

  • Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) management using wheat (Triticum aestivum) as a false host

    Creator:
    Al-thahabi, Salam A.
    Abstract:
    Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is an obligate, chlorophyll-lacking parasite that parasitizes red clover (Trifolium pratense) roots. This study was conducted to develop and implement an integrated, biologically based control program for small broomrape by using wheat as a false host to reduce the soil seed bank. The relationship between temperature...

  • Biology and management of Meloidogyne chitwoodi using oxamyl on potato in the western United States

    Creator:
    David, Nicholas L.
    Abstract:
    Field trials were conducted during 2001 to 2003 to investigate soil population dynamics of Meloidogyne chitwoodi, tuber symptom suppression using oxamyl, and post-harvest tuber symptom development on short-season potato varieties Russet Norkotah and Russet Nugget (San Luis Valley only). The experiments were located in the San Luis Valley in Colorado,...

  • Overwintering survival of stem rust on perennial ryegrass : construction of a simulation model, and effects of the mycoparasite Sphaerellopisis filum

    Creator:
    Gordon, Tyler C.
    Abstract:
    Stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola, can cause yield reductions exceeding 90% on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) crops grown for seed if not treated with fungicide in the spring. There is evidence that late-spring stem rust epidemics are initiated by populations that survived the winter....

  • Mulching to Manage Mummy Berry of Blueberry

    Creator:
    Florence, Jade
    Abstract:
    Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi pseudosclerotia overwinter on the soil surface and produce apothecia in early spring, providing primary inoculum for Mummy Berry Disease of blueberry. Burial under 2.5 cm of soil or the absence of light have previously been identified as critical factors preventing the development of apothecia. Mulches were applied to...
