Governing By Nature

Creator:: Rhodes, Mericos H.
Abstract:: The choice of what to eat is political, and food systems shape and are shaped by political and economic power. During the last several hundred years, agricultural and food power has been consolidated to an unprecedented degree, and this consolidation continues today. This paper will describe this process as “Governing...

Effects of Biochar and Nitrogen-Enriched Soil Amendments on Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition, and Early Fruit Production in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.)

Creator:: Sales, Bryan K.
Abstract:: The goal of the work in this dissertation was to identify alternative soil amendments to improve plant growth and yield during establishment of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid). Woody materials, such as sawdust and wood chips, have a high carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and low water holding capacity, which can...

Water management tools and irrigation strategies for blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry production in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Breeding tomatoes for improved antioxidant activity

Creator:: Mes, Peter Jack, 1976-
Abstract:: Purple tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculemtum) were bred by incorporating genes that result in anthocyanin production in the skin of fruits. These genes originally came from related wild species as no naturally occurring genes encoding fruit anthocyanin expression are known within the cultivated species. By combining Aft or Abg with atv or...

Cryopreservation of Shoot Tips: Antioxidant Investigations with Rubus and Protocols for Mentha and Vaccinium

Creator:: Uchendu, Esther Eyiuche
Abstract:: Oxidative stress that occurs during cryopreservation may be reduced by the addition of antioxidants. Vitamin E (Vit E), Vitamin C (Vit C), glutathione (GSH), lipoic acid (LA), glycine betaine (GB) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were applied at four steps of the PVS2 vitrification protocol (pretreatment, loading, rinsing, and regrowth). Shoot tips...

Effect of medium, fertilizer rates and transplant methods on the growth of young apple trees

Creator:: Lu, Can
Abstract:: This study compared leaf mold, bark, automobile waste and the combination of half leaf on the top and half bark on the bottom as growing media for young apple nursery stock. Although the chemical and physical analysis of leaf mold was superior to the bark, trees in leaf mold showed...

Modeling purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) growth : preliminary evaluation of light intensity, soil moisture and herbicide effects

Creator:: Amerasinghe, A. A. L.
Abstract:: Purple nutsedge [Cyperus rotundas L.) has been recognized as one of the most troublesome perennial weeds of agricultural lands in tropical and some temperate regions. This research sought to determine the effects of timing of herbicides, shading, and soil moisture on plant population growth and tuber production of purple nutsedge...

Evaluating the Effects of Alleyway Management on the Performance of Dry-Farmed Pinot noir Grown in Different Soils

Creator:: Lange, Mathew
Abstract:: Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are predominately planted to perennial grass cover in the alleyways of vineyards. This grass cover is grown to increase worker and equipment traction, as well as reduce erosion and manage vine vegetative vigor. However, with increasing frequencies of drought and warming temperatures, the use of...

Characterizing grapevine canopy architecture

Creator:: Navarrete, Alejandra
Abstract:: Vertically shoot positioned (VSP) training systems are common in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where deep fertile soils and high regional precipitation task growers with curbing vegetative vigor within this system. Management strategies, such as canopy hedging and cluster-zone leaf removal, are used to improve microclimate within the canopy and around the...

Relationships of ammonium and nitrate status with inflorescence necrosis in 'Pinot noir' grapevines

Creator:: Gu, Sanliang
Abstract:: Inflorescence necrosis (IN) is a recently described disorder in grapes characterized by partial or complete deterioration of the pedicel and rachis near bloom. Elevated levels of ammonium in the rachis are associated with the incidence of IN and hypothesized as the cause of the disorder. An incubation system with single-node...
