Creator:: Morad, Mohammed
Abstract:: Oregon is the world’s leading producer of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed. Recent research has reported that seed yield has been increased in cool-season grass and red clover (T. pratense L.) seed crops with the application of trinexapac-ethyl, a gibberellic acid biosynthesis inhibiting plant growth regulator (PGR) and lodging-control...

Creator:: Hepperly, Jody R.
Abstract:: In recent years, several interrelated forces—prolonged drought, growing populations, height-ened environmental protections, sustained agricultural use, and hydrologic alterations due to climate change—have increased pressure on water users in the Western United States, where the agricultural sector accounts for up to 90% of total water withdrawals. Technology im-provements developed since the...

Creator:: Stucki, Elijah G.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the experiences of ten asexual and aromantic college students at Oregon State University and the strategies they used to navigate their sexualized and romanticized campuses. The questions that guided this research were about belonging, resilience, kinship, and worldview. Did they feel they belonged to anyone or mattered...

Creator:: Pace, Kylie M.
Abstract:: As dams approach the end of their useful life, there is need to predict where and how accumulated sediment will move following their removal to estimate impacts on aquatic habitat and infrastructure. Flume studies suggest that sediment pulses disperse in place for most dams, but it is hypothesized that a...

Creator:: Hudgins, Tara M.
Abstract:: Tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.] is an important forage and turf grass seed crop in Oregon. Use of the stem-shortening plant growth regulator (PGR) trinexapac-ethyl (TE) has gained broad acceptance by tall fescue seed producers in Oregon and elsewhere world-wide as an economical agent of seed yield enhancement through...
