Abstract:: Many mycorrhizosphere microorganisms can produce plant growth regulating compounds in vitro. Plant growth regulating compounds are known to mediate root growth and development. In reforestation practices, conifer tree seedling growth and survival are linked to rapid root growth and development after outplanting. Multifactorial experiments were conducted to document variations in...

Abstract:: The use of fungicides for the control of foot rot of winter wheat, caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei., requires a forecast of disease risk to optimize this management practice ecologically and economically. Foot rot occurs in both the mild, wet (100+ cm, ppt./year) annual cropped areas in western Oregon,...
