Investigating Alternative Irrigation Strategies and Sources for the Cool-Humid Willamette Valley

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: Rising human populations and climate change are putting increasing demands on our already-limited freshwater sources. In response to these concerns, homeowners and municipalities have been encouraged to replace turfgrass – a plant with relatively high irrigation needs – with drought-tolerant plants that do not require frequent irrigation. However, the many...

Development of a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population and analysis of a nested association mapping (NAM) population for improvement of genetic resistance to white mold in snap bean

Creator:: Ağır, Ahmet R.
Abstract:: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) comes in a huge assortment of fresh and dried varieties, including snap beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. Together, these and other market classes provide a third of the daily dietary protein in some cultures, particularly in Africa, Asia, and developing nations in the Americas....

Evaluation of grapevine red blotch virus epidemiology with reference to potential insect vectors

Creator:: Dalton, Daniel T.
Abstract:: Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), the causal agent of red blotch disease (RBD) in grapevine, Vitis vinifera L., is an emerging pathogen of significance to the wine grape industry of Oregon, USA. To address knowledge gaps of GRBV epidemiology, spread of GRBV was evaluated in Oregon vineyards over four years....

Suppression of Microdochium Patch on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens using Iron Sulfate, Phosphorous Acid, Sulfur, and Mineral Oil

Creator:: Mattox, Clint M.
Abstract:: Managing Microdochium patch on intensively manicured annual bluegrass putting greens is a challenge for turfgrass professionals in cool-humid climates similar to the Pacific Northwest. Fungicides are the predominant means to mitigate damage caused by this fungal pathogen, however pesticide restrictions are making it even more challenging to suppress Microdochium patch....

Optimization of Agrochemical Application Technologies, Strategies and Chemical Control of Spotted-wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), Diptera: Drosophilidae as a Model Organism and Identification of Trisiloxane and Silane Surfactants in Agricultural Spray Adjuvants and Reference Materials

Creator:: Mermer, Serhan
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an insect of global concern that causes serious damage to soft-skinned fruits. D. suzukii is widespread in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia and is listed as an invasive pest with strict quarantine protocols governing import and export. Given the damage caused by D....

Behavior of Drosophila suzukii in Relation to Abiotic, Biotic, and Nutrient Factors

Creator:: Park, Kyoo Rok
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious pest in soft and stone fruit industries worldwide. The unique serrated ovipositor of female Drosophila suzukii allowed the species to reproduce in intact, ripening fruit before the harvest. Current control methods rely heavily on insecticide application, only becoming less profitable due to the...

The Role of Diurnal Light, Temperature, and Forced Egg Retention on Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Survival and Ovipositional Rates

Creator:: York, Riki M.
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a devastating pest that attacks thin-skinned stone and small fruit in all major production regions of the United States and worldwide. D. suzukii first appeared in the United States in 2008 and is believed to be native to Southeast Asia. This vinegar fly has a...

Effects of Diet and Humidity on Drosophila suzukii Flight Performance

Creator:: Wong, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii is a global and economically significant pest of berries and other soft fruits. This insect can survive and reproduce under a wide variety of environmental conditions and with a substantial number of cultivated and wild hosts. Management of D. suzukii is commonly done with chemical control strategies. However,...

Evaluation of botanical diversity in Oregon vineyards

Creator:: Schonenberger, Patrik M.
Abstract:: Three different ground cover management strategies were compared at the OSU research vineyard near Alpine, Oregon. Botanical diversity was actively increased in two diverse treatments. Another treatment was botanically uniform and contained creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The composition of the vineyard floor vegetation and grapevine performance as affected by the...
