Yield component and growth analysis of strawberries

Creator:: Olsen, Jeff L.
Abstract:: Two studies were initiated in June of 1981 in order to gain greater understanding of the growth and fruiting habits of field grown strawberries in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Yield component analysis of 'Benton', Oregon's leading cultivar and an advanced breeding selection, 'OR-US 4356' was conducted during the first (1981) and...

Winter Squash: Production and Storage of a Late Winter Local Food

Creator:: Wetzel, Jennifer D.
Abstract:: Winter squash is an important late winter vegetable crop for local and regional markets; however, farmers in western Oregon report that this crop is marginally profitable due to losses in storage and relatively low yields for the high culinary value kabocha and buttercup types. In order to increase the sales...

Water use characteristics of ten newly established cool-season turfgrass species

Creator:: Blankenship, Tod M.
Abstract:: Water use restrictions are continuing to have an impact on the way turf is managed today and will be managed in the future. The objective of this research was to evaluate the irrigation requirements of ten newly established cool-season turfgrass species maintained under two different mowing height and nitrogen fertility...

Water relations and the root regeneration response of Douglas-fir

Creator:: Cobb, Cheryl Anne
Abstract:: The effect of lifting date and root-pruning treatments on water potential, root regeneration, and shoot growth of six-month-old and three-year-old Douglas-fir seedlings bare-root transplanted into a growth chamber, and sawdust bed, respectively, was studied. Root growth in six-month-old and three-year-old seedlings was highest in February and August respectively. Survival was...

Water partitioning and respiration activity of dormant grape buds

Creator:: Gardea, Alfonso A.
Abstract:: Dormancy of 'Pinot Noir' grapevines was characterized. Primary buds required ca 300 cumulative chilling hours (CCH) to initiate the transition from endodormancy to ecodormancy, which occurred in mid November. Additional chilling, up to 1000 CCH, improved budbreak. Changes in bud water content were estimated by gravimetric and spectroscopic methods. Total,...

Water and Soil Management Practices to Enhance Plant Growth, Berry Development, and Fruit Quality of Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Almutairi, Khalid F.
Abstract:: Drought and mandatory water restrictions are limiting the availability of irrigation water in many important blueberry growing regions and new strategies are needed to maintain yield and fruit quality with less water. Three potential options for reducing water use, including deficit irrigation, irrigation cut-offs, and crop thinning, were evaluated for...

Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Perpetual Flowering (PF) and Soluble Solids Content (SSC) in Strawberry (Fragaria xananassa Duch. ex Rozier)

Creator:: Salinas, Natalia R.
Abstract:: Strawberry is economically the most important berry crop grown worldwide and breeders are continuously striving to develop improved cultivars. So far, marker assisted breeding (MAB) in strawberry has been limited to the private sector. However, loci controlling some traits of economic importance such as perpetual flowering (PF) and soluble solids...

Using stable isotopes and visual gut examination to determine the diet composition of Pterostichus melanarius (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in western Oregon vegetable row crops

Creator:: Moulton, Laurel A.
Abstract:: The omnivorous ground beetle, Pterostichus melanarius Illager (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is a ubiquitous inhabitant of western Oregon crop land. Because it is often the most abundant ground beetle, and attains densities that could lead to serious impacts on its prey sources, I sought to understand the overall diet composition, and specifically...

Transfer, characterization and mapping of white mold resistance in an advanced backcross interspecific population between Phaseolus vulgaris and Phaseolus coccineus

Creator:: Zimmerman, Shawna Jean
Abstract:: The advanced backcross-quatitative trait loci (AB-QTL) breeding method was employed on snap bean (OR 91G x PI433251B) and dry bean (M0162 x PI433251B) interspecific populations to transfer resistance QTL from resistant donor parent Phaseolus coccineus into P. vulgaris. For OR 91G x PI433251B, analyses produced nine linkage groups corresponding to...

The street tree problem for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Neill, John Wesley
Abstract:: A regional analysis of the street tree problem has been undertaken in order to evolve a system of tree classification which would be useful to city planners, arborists, and landscape architects who have the responsibility of selecting trees to fulfill their design requirements for the city street. Three lines of...
