Lack of stability of soil aggregates for water
movement is a major problem in arid soils due to low
organic matter and higher sodium contents. Soil
amendments for improving stability of structure and
increasing infiltration of water are essential to solve
water management problems in these areas.
Different rates of...
Yield, occurrence of root canker (B deficiency), and leaf nutrient concentrations of the Morse strain of ‘Detroit Dark Red’ table beet (Beta vulgaris L.) as influenced by combinations of lime and N, B, and P fertilizers were evaluated in three studies. Greatest total yields and most favorable distribution of root...
Experiments at the North Willamette Experiment Station have evaluated response of vegetables to lime and other fertilizers since 1970. The soils are moderately acid (pH 5.4 to 5.6), high in P, and better drained than most soils used for vegetable crop production in western Oregon. Typical soil acidity problems such...
Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), carrots (Daucus carota L.), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were grown for 3 years on soils amended with S or lime and N fertilizer. Yields of all crops increased with lime application but response to N varied among crops and years. Lettuce head weight tended...

The design and construction of two new sample injection systems or nozzles, for use with the Oregon State electron diffraction apparatus are discussed. One of these nozzles was intended for use with volatile samples the vapors of which were to be heated or cooled over the range -196 to 540°C;...
