A field study was conducted in 1978 and 1979 at the Hyslop Crop
Science Field Laboratory near Corvallis, Oregon, to determine the optimum
capsule harvest date of Papaver bracteatum Lind. for thebaine yield
and oil yield, while maintaining an acceptable percentage of seed germination.
Accessions PI 383309 and PI 381607...
Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-
6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-
glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and
the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate)
were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact
sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4
bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
A study of populations characteristics of T. turgidum ssp.
carthlicum and T. aestivum ssp. carthlicoides was completed using
numerical analysis. A sample of 74 accessions of ssp. carthlicum
and 20 of ssp. carthlicoides were scored for 46 characters. It was
established that three morphological distinguishable groups of ssp.
carthlicum can...
Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous
winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced
an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference
to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the literature,
but quantitative evidence is lacking. Studies were
undertaken to: 1) quantify meadowfoam pollination requirements
and 2) evaluate...
Foliar applications of urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) around anthesis increased seed protein content by about 40% in 1983 and 1984 in 'Scio' barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). In exploring the mode and the mechanism of this increase, agronomic and physiological studies were conducted. The late N applications did not affect yield or...
The semi-arid regions of the Pacific Northwest are
characterized by a high degree of annual temperature and
precipitation variation. As a result of this climatic
variation, dryland nitrogen fertilizer trials on fallow-
,wheat rotations typically demonstrate a variable response.
Wheat growers in the area must not only cope with this...
Growth of individual goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn.) plants of
three dinitroaniline-herbicide resistant (R) and three susceptible (S) biotypes from
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Mississippi was analyzed in greenhouse
experiments. Leaf area and biomass measurements, including root, shoot,
above-ground, and total dry weights were similar among the biotypes studied....
