Seasonal occurrence and abundance of insect pests and natural enemies in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Klein, Matthew L.
Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth largest food crop in the world following rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum spp.), and maize (Zea mays subs. mays). Potatoes arrived in the United States in the early 1600s and over the following centuries, the crop was subsequently cultivated across the country...

Isolation and Pathogenicity of Naturally Occurring Entomopathogenic Fungi to Clover Root Borer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), a Pest of Red Clover Seed Crops

Creator:: Lestari, Anis S.
Abstract:: Entomopathogenic fungi are cosmopolitan microbial pathogens that cause fungous diseases in a wide range of insects via spore infection. Due to their natural enemy status, they have tremendous potential for use as microbial control agents against insect pests, especially subterranean pests for which few management options are available. The clover...

Effects of growth-regulating treatments on eradication of PVX and PVS in potato shoot-tip culture

Creator:: Gallardo-Ramirez, Mirian
Abstract:: Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of growth-promoting treatments on potato sprouts and plantlets grown in vitro, and to determine the relationships between growth rate and eradication of PVX and PVS through shoot-tip culture. The approach consisted of exposing plant material to potential growth-regulating treatments, selecting the more...

Lodging control and yield enhancement in Morex spring barley with paclobutrazol treatment

Creator:: Morrison, Laura A.
Abstract:: Lodging in cereals can cause significant decreases in yield. It is both a problem in susceptible cereal cultivars with a tall-stemmed, weak-strawed growing habit and in lodging-resistant cereal cultivars when they are grown under high-nitrogen, high-moisture regimes. Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are chemical growth retardants that offer a method of...

Integrated small broomrape (Orobanche minor Sm.) management in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)

Creator:: Ross, Kyle C.
Abstract:: Small broomrape, a holoparasitic weed, is a relatively new weed introduction in the Pacific Northwest that has contaminated a limited number of red clover fields in Oregon. Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to evaluate small broomrape response to common crop and weed species in the Pacific Northwest. Host species...

Response of downy brome (Bromus tectorum) and Kentucky bluegrass (Pao pratensis) to primisulfuron

Creator:: Hendrickson, Paul E.
Abstract:: Glasshouse and growth-chamber experiments were conducted to evaluate primisulfuron phytotoxicity and the influence of adjuvants on downy brome and Kentucky bluegrass. GR₅₀ (50% growth reduction) values were 0.97 ± 0.57 and 8.07 ± 1.85 g/ha for downy brome and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively. Primisulfuron was applied to downy brome and Kentucky...

ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.) biotypes in Oregon : Mechanism of resistance, fitness, and competition

Creator:: Park, Kee-Woong
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanism of resistance, relative fitness and competitiveness of herbicide resistant biotypes is important to predict population dynamics and to establish resistance management strategies. This study was conducted to determine the level of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors and the mechanism of resistance of ALS-inhibitor resistant downy brome...

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) emergence under different residue management practices in perennial ryegrass and determination of resistant and susceptible annual bluegrass germination under controlled temperature and moisture

Creator:: Schuster, Matthew D.
Abstract:: With the loss of field burning the amount of crop residue that remains in perennial ryegrass fields has increased. As the amount of crop residue remaining in the field increases so does annual bluegrass. This has resulted in the increased use of herbicides to control annual bluegrass. However, this increased...

Testing the effectiveness of barley stripe rust resistance QTL detected in Mexico and the USA against a possible new race in Peru and mapping of genes conferring resistance to leaf rust and mildew in the same population

Creator:: Rossi, Carlos
Abstract:: Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world because of its broad adaptation, its utility as a feedstock and for human food, and the superior properties of barley malt for brewing. Three of the most important foliar diseases of barley, on a worldwide level are: barley leaf...

Genetic factors that provide adult plant resistance against Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici to wheat cultivar 'Stephens' in a multilocation analysis.

Creator:: Vazquez, Maria Dolores
Abstract:: Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) has been receiving increased attention in the USA since the appearance of more virulent races detected in the past decade. These races caused yield losses even in areas where the disease previously was rarely detected. Host plant resistance is the most cost effective...
