High protein wheat seeds frequently perform better than low
protein seeds of the same variety. Protein content of seeds can be
increased by management practices, the most important of which is
rate and timing of N applications. The purpose of this study was to
determine the chemical, biochemical and physiological...
The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...
Bacteria of the genus Klebsiella have been found to be
associated with redwood water storage reservoirs, redwood
chips, and liquid expressed from within living redwood. A
1,000 gallon experimental redwood reservoir was employed to
determine how to control the presence of Klebsiella and
Enterobacter in drinking water stored in these...
This research effort examined Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) of Siletz tribal members of the environment they live and/or lived in, and how both Western societal beliefs and land reduction to the initially established reservation location affected and altered how the area TEK has been maintained and passed down. The theory...
Certain plant-associated prokaryotes such as Corynebacteriurn
fascians and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are known to produce substantial
levels of cytokinins. In view of the fragmentary and
presumptive evidence available on the quantitative and qualitative
levels of cytokinins produced by A. tumefaciens, it was decided to
conduct a study of the cytokinins produced...
Orchardgrass and tall fescue seed crops are commonly springplanted
in Oregon, but do not produce a marketable crop during the first
growing season. Establishing orchardgrass and tall fescue with cereal
companion crops would provide income during the seeding year and could
increase seed production profits. This study was conducted to...
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) seed production
practices in Oregon are different from those in Australia.
There, seed is produced on fields which are managed primarily for
forage. In Oregon, seed fields are managed for seed as the primary
product and forage is of secondary concern.
Some sheep grazing is...
This research addresses sample process variance estimation on continuous domains and for non-probability samples in particular. The motivation for the research is a scenario in which a program has collected non-probability samples for which there is interest in characterizing how much an extrapolation to the domain would vary given similarly...
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of
moisture stress on physiological changes that occur during the vegetative
and reproductive stages of the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
plant, and to relate these effects to seed yield, quality and performance.
In a field experiment, different levels of moisture stress were...
