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...

Pressure trunk injections of potassium as a possible short term corrective measure for potassium deficiency in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) and prune (Prunus domestica L.)

Creator:: Robbins, Scott Hill
Abstract:: The effect of pressure trunk injections of K₂HPO₄, and K₂SO₄. solutions on the mineral content, growth, yield and fruit quality of sweet cherry and mineral content of prune were investigated. A complimentary study presented in Appendix 1, was conducted to evaluate the short term effectiveness of K soil amendments, mulching...

Effects of Novel Sulfur Applications for pH Management of Calcareous Soil in a New Planting of Organically Grown Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Gregory, Alexander D.
Abstract:: Organically certified Northern Highbush Blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production in the Columbia Basin region of Oregon and Washington is expanding. Soils in the region are typically calcareous and highly alkaline, often requiring pH adjustment to an ideal range of 4.5–5.5 to support the establishment of the acid-loving, ericaceous crop....

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,...

Relationships between endogenous phenolic compounds of rhododendron tissues and organs and cold hardiness development

Creator:: Chalker-Scott, Linda
Abstract:: The leaching of water soluble phenolic compounds from cold stressed Rhododendron leaves was found to be a reliable indicator of tissue damage. In sublethally stressed leaf tissues, more and novel phenolic compounds appeared and were hypothesized to be precursors of cell wall components such as lignin and suberin. Subsequent radiolabeling...

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...

Sensory Analysis and Genetic Mapping of Green Bean Flavor

Creator:: Wallace, Lyle T.
Abstract:: Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...

Prunus laurocerasus: A Study of Reducing Gamete Development through Haploidy and Determining Cytotype Variability in Pollen

Creator:: Seely, James T.
Abstract:: Prunus laurocerasus, commonly known as cherrylaurel, is a woody shrub grown in temperate climates for its durability and landscape appeal. Due to its abundance of drupes that are spread by birds, cherrylaurel is a litter nuisance in cultivation and also has escaped cultivation such that it has naturalized. Furthermore, it...

Inheritance of resistance to the lentil strain of pea seedborne mosaic virus in Pisum sativum L.

Creator:: Kasimor, Kathryn T.
Abstract:: The inheritance mode of pea-resistance to the Lentil Strain of Pea Seedborne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV-L) was studied. In addition, commercial pea cultivars, Plant Introduction (P.I.) lines and Oregon State University (OSU) breeding lines were tested for susceptibility to this virus. These lines were also tested for their reaction to Bean...
