  • Relation of nitrogenous substances in rose leaves to powdery mildew resistance

    Creator:
    Bartlett, Allan B.
    Abstract:
    There is considerable variation among rose varieties in susceptibility to mildew, and as a result of maturation, leaves of most susceptible varieties become resistant to infection. The nature of resistance has been sought in various studies involving environmental, morphological, and physiological factors. An attempt was made in the present investigation...

    Intrama, Siriphong
    Abstract:
    An isolate of Coniothyrium obtained from a stem canker on Nocturne rose from the Botany Department Farm, Corvallis, Oregon was studied with respect to morphological and cultural characters, pathogenicity and mineral nutrition. The hyphae of the isolate were smooth, septate and branched. The hyphal cells averaged 16.37 X 3.52 microns....

  • Management of variegated cutworm in peppermint

    Creator:
    Coop, Leonard Bryan
    Abstract:
    A pest management program for variegated cutworm (VC), Peridroma saucia (Hubner), in Oregon peppermint was developed based on studies of pheromone trapping, sampling methods, and economic thresholds. Pheromone traps effectively trapped VC males and were used to reflect development and oviposition trends. Trap height was linearly correlated to moth catch...

  • Decomposition of Basamid in Douglas-fir heartwood

    Creator:
    Forsyth, Paul Griffin
    Abstract:
    Basamid^R (3,5-dimethy1-1,3,5,2H-tetrahydrothiadiazine- 2-thione) is a crystalline powder used as a soil sterilant. This fumigant acts in soil by decomposing to methylisothiocyanate (MITC), the primary active ingredient, as well as hydrogen sulfide, methylamine, and formaldehyde. In wood, Basamid decomposes too slowly to be efficacious against decay fungi unless amended with various...

  • Studies on the etiology and epidemiology of bull's eye rot of pears

    Creator:
    Henriquez, Jose Luis, 1961-
    Abstract:
    The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...

  • Classical biological control of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) (Homoptera:Aphididae) in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Messing, Russell H.
    Abstract:
    A classical biological control project was undertaken against the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze), in western Oregon. Hazelnut orchards in Spain, France, and Italy were searched for natural enemies of the aphid, and a parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday, was imported, quarantined, mass-reared, and released in Oregon orchards. The wasp...

  • Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

    Creator:
    Garcia, Carlos Manalo
    Abstract:
    The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

  • Plant hormone-induced defense responses against Botrytis cinerea

    Creator:
    Akagi, Aya
    Abstract:
    Several plant hormones, including ethylene and jasmonates, are known to mediate responses against biotic and abiotic stress. The first and second objectives of this thesis were (i) to elucidate the role of ethylene in defense responses against Botrytis cinerea and specifically (ii) to determine the potential contribution of ethylene response...
