Radial colony growth of three isolates of Gliocladium roseum and three isolates of Bottytis cinerea were measured on 1/4 strength potato dextrose agar amended with concentrations of NaHCO₃ ranging from 0-2% (w/v). Compared to the control, reductions in colony diameter of the B. cinerea isolates ranged from 60-79% and 73-89%...
The efficiencies of wet sieving/sucrose
centrifugation (WS/SC) recovery of Pratylenchus penetrans
(59 %), Paratylenchus sp., (80 %), and Criconemella
xenoplax (66 %) were established. Baermann funnels (BF)
recovered significantly more P. penetrans (p = 0.01) and
significantly less (p = 0.01) C. xenoplax than did WS/SC.
While densities of P....
The effects of fenamiphos on soil and root populations of Pratylenchus penetrans were evaluated in four red raspberry cv. Willamette fields in Northwestern Oregon. Field 1 was a silty clay loam with 53% organic matter (OM). Field 2 and 3 were silty loam soils with 3.25 and 2.55% OM, respectively...
Cephalosporium stripe of wheat (Triticum aestivum),
caused by the soilborne fungus Cephalosporium gramineum,
results in significant yield reductions in dryland winter
wheat crops of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The
development of resistant cultivars offers the best hope
for disease control. Breeding for resistance is hampered
by the long trial times...
