Effect of floricane number on primocane growth, yield components, and cold hardiness in 'Marion' trailing blackberry

Creator:: Cortell, Jessica M.
Abstract:: In spring of 1993 and 1994, mature 'Marion' (Rubus sp.) plants were pruned to 0, 4, 8, and 12 floricanes. An additional treatment of 0 floricanes with early (30 cm) primocane pruning was included. Primocane growth was measured from emergence in April until growth cessation at the end of October....

Responses of bush snap bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to plant population densities

Creator:: Stang, Jack Rudolf
Abstract:: The effects of plant population densities on the growth and development of six cultivars of bush snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were studied in two field experiments. A systematic planting design was used to achieve a range of densities from 21- to 110 plants per m² and a rectangularity of...

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....

Phenotyping Ornamental Plants: Case Studies in Fruit Quality Attributes from Vaccinium ovatum and Disease Resistance of Cotoneaster spp.

Creator:: Neill, Kristin E.
Abstract:: Landscape plants are highly diverse and nursery producers often grow thousands of taxa to satisfy the varied needs and aesthetic tastes of consumers. Related to this diversity, ornamental plant breeders must be nimble and diverse in their approach. Two seemingly disparate studies were conducted to investigate improving ornamental shrubs –...

Influence of canopy orientation on fruiting of 'Ànjou' pears and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'C̀omice' pears

Creator:: Khemira, Habib
Abstract:: The effect of canopy orientation on fruiting performance of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.) and postharvest urea spray on ovule longevity and fruit set of 'Doyenne du Comice' pears were studied. Hedgerows of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pear trees planted in 1969 in two orientations north-south (N-S) and east-west (E-W) were...

Effect of pruning and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' blackberry

Creator:: Bell, Neil (Neil Charles), 1961-
Abstract:: The effect of primocane removal and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' trailing blackberry was studied. In 1991, primocanes were either not cut, or cut at ground level from plants on a single occasion at one month intervals from late April to late July. Four canes...

Effect of several apple rootstocks on growth, yield components and leaf area estimates on "Starkspur Supreme Delicious" trees

Creator:: Siller-Cepeda, Jorge H.
Abstract:: Growth, yield components and leaf area were evaluated on 'Starkspur Supreme Delicious' apple on nine rootstocks: MAC 24, EMLA 7, EMLA 26, OAR 1, MAC 9, 0.3, EMLA 9, M 9, and EMLA 27. Estimates of planting density based on growth, estimates of leaf area based on four independent variables...

Microsatellite Marker Development, Characterization and Mapping in European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), and Investigation of Novel Sources of Eastern Filbert Blight Resistance in Corylus

Creator:: Bhattarai, Gehendra
Abstract:: European hazelnut, an important nut crop in Oregon agriculture, is threatened by the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The hazelnut breeding program at OSU has been working on development of EFB-resistant cultivars. DNA markers allow mapping of traits using segregating progenies and...

Effects of planting bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in single or double rows

Creator:: Mhaka, Amon Gwaziva
Abstract:: A comparison was made between double rows 15 cm apart on 76 cm centers and single rows 76 cm apart of 'Oregon 91G' bush green beans at the same planting densities in three experiments in 1986 and 1987. There was a significant increase in yields of pods from double rows...

Enhancement of the weed competitive ability of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars

Creator:: Ranasinghe, Lakshman L.
Abstract:: Most of the presently grown cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have poor competitive ability against weeds if compared with traditional cultivars. Therefore, effective weed control is an important but often costly and difficult management practice in rice crop production. If weed competitive ability of rice cultivars could be improved...
