Creator:: Guner, Nihat
Abstract:: Genetic and morphological characteristics of an architectural mutant in common beans were studied. The mutant had shiny, dark green leaves, overlapping leaflets, short petioles and a reproductive terminal bud even though the line did not carry the fin gene. Branching was nearly absent resulting in a single stem vine. This...

Creator:: Lamb, Michael J.
Abstract:: Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. Crimson Sweet) was seeded in a commercial peat mix in multicell containers (72 cells-tray⁻¹, 40 cm³-cell⁻¹) in July 1989 and April 1990. In 1989, the medium was amended with CaC0₃ at 10% w:v. In 1990, no CaC0₃ amendment was made. Watermelon seedling...

Creator:: Marion, Carol I.
Abstract:: Three rates of urea, urea-DCD, and NH₄N0₃ were soil applied in April and August 1986 to strawberry selection OR-US 4930 and cultivar 'Sumas' to determine effects of the nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) and nitrogen source and rate on soil NH₄ and N0₃ levels, fruit yield and quality, and mineral composition...

Creator:: Bell, Neil (Neil Charles), 1961-
Abstract:: The effect of primocane removal and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' trailing blackberry was studied. In 1991, primocanes were either not cut, or cut at ground level from plants on a single occasion at one month intervals from late April to late July. Four canes...

Creator:: Howe, Jessica
Abstract:: This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated. This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....

Creator:: Talkington, Michael Lee
Abstract:: Studies were conducted in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon to evaluate the effects of plowing (7.5-15 cm deep) and disking (5-10 cm deep) in peppermint, Mentha piperita L., on the following factors: 1) emergence of adult "mint root borer", Fumibotys fumalis Guenée; 2) suppression of common groundsel, Senecio vulgaris...

Creator:: Weight, Chris (Christopher Thompson)
Abstract:: Until recently, the viscoamylograph had been the primary method for measuring starch as it relates to noodle quality in wheat. This method requires a large sample of flour and is time consuming. With the introduction of the rapid visco-analyser (RVA) in 1986 and the more recent flour swelling volume procedure,...
