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...
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 objective of this study was to characterize an unknown agent associated with decline in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon. A virus was found consistently associated with decline symptoms of black raspberries and was named Black raspberry decline associated virus (BRDaV). Double stranded RNA extraction from BRDaV-infected black raspberry...
