Assessment of Feedstock Materials for Producing a Suitable and Cost-Effective Biochar to Use as a Soil Amendment for Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)

Creator:: Kumari, Pooja
Abstract:: Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich residue produced by thermochemical conversion (pyrolysis) of plant biomass and carbonaceous organic materials under oxygen-controlled conditions. Chars produced by this process tend to have high ion-exchange capacities and, when added to soil, increase retention of water and nutrients and improve soil aggregation, porosity, and...

Evaluation of Methods for Applying Phosphorus, Potassium, and Boron Fertilizers in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Leon-Chang, David P.
Abstract:: Previous studies indicated that fertigating with nitrogen (N) was more effective than using granular N fertilizers in production of northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). To build on these findings, four studies were conducted in western Oregon to determine whether fertigation was also an effective method for applying other nutrients,...

Characterization of physiological resistance to white mold and search for molecular markers linked to resistance via advanced backcross QTL analysis in an interspecific cross between Phaseolus coccineus and P. vulgaris

Creator:: Haggard, Jack Erron
Abstract:: White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, results in severe losses in the production of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, especially snap bean varieties. Advanced backcross QTL analysis was used to identify quantitative trait loci for resistance to white mold in an interspecific cross of P. vulgaris and P....

Evaluating Alternative Soil Amendments for Organic Northern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Sub-Optimal Soils

Creator:: Retano, Andrea
Abstract:: Escalating demand for organic blueberries has driven a significant expansion of northern highbush blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production area. This expansion is particularly pronounced in regions of the Pacific Northwest where native soil conditions are sub-optimal for NHB, notably east of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington,...

Sugar transport in strawberry fruit : uptake competition and developmental changes in invertase levels

Creator:: Scott, James Douglas
Abstract:: Mechanisms by which plant organs accumulate photoassimilate are important in determining final sink size and may involve invertase activity. Because strawberry fruit are strong sinks for sugars, changes in invertase levels during development and mechanisms of sugar uptake within the fruit were examined. Fruit from greenhouse-grown, day-neutral strawberries, (Fragaria X...

Chemical Control of Suckers in Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana): Comparing Herbicide Efficacy, Spray Nozzle, and Carrier Volume

Creator:: Larocca de Souza, Larissa
Abstract:: Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana) produce a prolific growth in the base of the trunk and roots, known as suckers, which are often removed in order to promote the development of a single trunk tree. Sucker removal facilitates cultural practices and mechanized operations, such as weed management and harvest. Sucker presence can...

Overexpression of antioxidant genes in transgenic tomato tolerant against multiple stresses

Creator:: Wang, Yueju
Abstract:: The effect of increased manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) on various abiotic stresses was studied using transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. Transformants were selected in vitro based on kanamycin resistance, confirmed by PCR and northern blot analyses. Northern blots showed an enhanced gene expression of Mn-SOD...

Effects of Biochar and Nitrogen-Enriched Soil Amendments on Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition, and Early Fruit Production in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.)

Creator:: Sales, Bryan K.
Abstract:: The goal of the work in this dissertation was to identify alternative soil amendments to improve plant growth and yield during establishment of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid). Woody materials, such as sawdust and wood chips, have a high carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and low water holding capacity, which can...
