Studies were conducted with Indian River "Hybro" broiler chicks
and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station dwarf and normal White
Leghorn hens to improve the utilization of white western wheat. Chick
studies were primarily concerned with characterizing the growth
inducing properties of an antibiotic fermentation residue (Vigofac)
which had shown a greater...
The objective of this study was to develop a soaking and drying
procedure to stimulate the germination and seedling emergence of
orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa
pratensis L.) seed. Some of the physiological changes associated
with the soaking and drying treatments were also studied.
The seed was...
Columbia River sediment was irradiated with ultraviolet light to
determine if organic material could be removed without altering the
sorptive properties of the hydrous oxides of iron and manganese.
A laboratory preparation of Zn-65 spiked hydrous ferric oxide
was subjected to ultraviolet irradiation in order to assess the photochemical
effect...
