The inheritance of ten quantitative characteristics in sweet corn (Zea mays L.)

Creator:: Hansen, Leon Afton
Abstract:: The inheritance of ten characteristics of sweet corn was studied by quantitative genetic analysis. Characters studied were tassel date, silk date, plant height, ear height, shank length, husk extension, tip blanking, number of kernel rows, ear length, and weight of the first ear. Diallel crosses were made between seven inbred...

A Study of Urban Vegetable Garden and their Soils in Corvallis and Portland, OR

Creator:: Nelson, Michael, II
Abstract:: Urban agriculture (UA) is defined as the production of food crops or livestock within urban areas. Despite its popularity in the United States, research into UA systems suffers from a general underrepresentation of commercial urban systems. As a result, urban growers often have unique technological needs that are unmet by...

Effect of planting method, weed management, and fertilizer on plant growth and yield of newly established organic highbush blueberries

Creator:: Larco, Handell O.
Abstract:: A 0.4 ha planting of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was established in Oct. 2006 to evaluate the effects of cultivar (Duke and Liberty), planting method (flat versus raised beds), weed management (sawdust mulch and hand-weed control; compost plus sawdust mulch with acetic acid, flaming, and hand-weeding used as needed; and...

Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

Creator:: Anderson, Aaron G.
Abstract:: Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...

Physiology of flowering in Coffea arabica L. : role of growth regulators and water relations

Creator:: Schuch, Ursula K.
Abstract:: Coffee trees growing in the Kona district of Hawaii were treated with different concentrations of either BA, GA3, or Promalin, and pruned at the time of flowering. No significant differences in the flowering and fruit ripening pattern were found. High concentrations (100 mg/1) of growth regulators decreased fruit fresh weight....

Low Maintenance Strategies and Challenges within Oregon School Landscapes

Creator:: Gould, Micah A.
Abstract:: Ornamental landscapes require considerable amounts of inputs, including but not limited to irrigation, mowing or pruning, fertilization, and pest management. However, school systems have limited budgets, which reduce their access to resources and labor hours. Therefore, the objective of this project is to identify ground covers that can compete with...

Organic Blueberry Production Systems – Grower Practices and Impact on Plant Nutrient Concentration, Content, and Biomass

Creator:: Fernandez Salvador, Javier A.
Abstract:: The certified organic blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) market has continued to expand in the last two decades, including in Oregon. The development of an industry-public research coalition has fostered expansion. In 2015, a survey consisting of on-site, in-person interviews with certified and transitional organic growers in Oregon found the majority of...
