Phenology, Host-Plant Resistance, and Biological Control of Stephanitis pyrioides in Oregon

Creator:: Flores, Salvador M.
Abstract:: The azalea lace bug (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott) is a recently detected invasive pest to the Pacific Northwest and has become a major concern in Oregon. It feeds on azaleas as well as rhododendrons causing stippling on the top side of leaves. The damage is aesthetically displeasing and affects plant vigor...

Microsatellite Marker Development, Characterization and Mapping in European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), and Investigation of Novel Sources of Eastern Filbert Blight Resistance in Corylus

Creator:: Bhattarai, Gehendra
Abstract:: European hazelnut, an important nut crop in Oregon agriculture, is threatened by the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The hazelnut breeding program at OSU has been working on development of EFB-resistant cultivars. DNA markers allow mapping of traits using segregating progenies and...

Marking, movement, and management of Drosophila suzukii in Oregon berry crops

Creator:: Klick, Jimmy
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are small invasive flies that in the past five years (2009-2014) invaded berry and stone fruit production regions in Europe and the Americas. Evolutionary adaptations, biological traits, and anthropogenic factors have contributed to its current status as a global pest. Females oviposit eggs into ripe...

Pyramiding quantitative trait loci conditioning partial resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in bush blue lake green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Creator:: Barrett, Miles Andrew
Abstract:: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a necrotrophic pathogen capable of causing white mold, a severe disease in common bean. White mold is of particular concern to the Oregon snap bean processing industry, where processors allow less than 3% incidence in harvested shipments. Breeding for white mold resistance in beans...

Investigating the Genetic Control of Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Snap Beans

Creator:: Huster, Abigail R.
Abstract:: Root rot diseases are a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production around the world. Both snap beans and dry beans are affected. Root rot diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens; however, Fusarium solani is a common causal agent. Fusarium root rot is a primary yield...

Managing Microdochium Patch Using Non-Traditional Fungicides on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens

Creator:: Mattox, Clint M.
Abstract:: Currently, fungicide applications are the predominant method of control for the cool weather pathogen Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale). Increasing pesticide restrictions have generated concern regarding management of Microdochium patch. Three separate field trials exploring non-traditional fungicides were conducted between 2013 and 2015 on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) sand-based...

Habitat management for beneficial insects on Willamette Valley vegetable and berry farms

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Conservation biological control involves manipulating farm landscapes or management systems to enhance populations of beneficial predators of agricultural pests. Farmscaping is one aspect of conservation biological control where predators of important pests are identified, the availability on the farm landscape of resources and habitat components needed by the beneficials to...

New sources and linked AFLP markers for Eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

Cover crop effects on root rot of sweet corn and soil properties

Creator:: Miyazoe, Mikio
Abstract:: Root rot of sweet corn in western Oregon and Washington is a significant disease that can reduce yield of intolerant cultivars of processed sweet corn by fifty percent. Root rot is caused by a complex of soilborne organisms, including Drechslera sp., Phoma terrestris, and Pythium arrhenomanes. Processors have adopted tolerant...
