Cover crop effects on root rot of sweet corn and soil properties

Creator:: Miyazoe, Mikio
Abstract:: Root rot of sweet corn in western Oregon and Washington is a significant disease that can reduce yield of intolerant cultivars of processed sweet corn by fifty percent. Root rot is caused by a complex of soilborne organisms, including Drechslera sp., Phoma terrestris, and Pythium arrhenomanes. Processors have adopted tolerant...

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...

Serial manure amendments : effects on soil properties and root rot of sweet corn

Creator:: Cox, Bonnie S. Hoffman
Abstract:: The effect of serial (multiple-year) organic matter (OM) amendment on soil properties has been described in some cropping systems, although less is known about the effect of serially amended field soils on soil-borne plant diseases. The objectives of this study were to describe the effects of the third and fourth...

Estimating the dry matter production, nitrogen requirements, and yield of organic farm-grown potatoes

Creator:: McQueen, John Paul Gainer
Abstract:: As part of a participatory research project, where farmers and Oregon State University researchers collaborated, aspects of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growing systems were studied. It was determined through conversations with the farmers that quantification of certain growth parameters of potato was lacking, including dry matter accumulation, crop nitrogen (N)...

Wave-by-Wave Forecasting via Assimilation of Marine Radar Data

Creator:: Simpson, Alexandra Joyce
Abstract:: A wave-by-wave forecasting system is desired for optimization of wave energy conversion devices and for improving safety of vessel-based marine operations. This study outlines the first validation attempts of a recently developed forecasting system called Wavecast. The forecasting approach uses X-Band marine radar images for data assimilation, then reconstructs and...

Metabolic Effects in C57BL/6J Mice Fed a High-Fat Western Diet Supplemented with Watermelon Flesh, Rind, and Skin and Other Whole Foods

Creator:: Becraft, Alexandra R.
Abstract:: Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is rich in lycopene and citrulline and has high phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. Previous studies demonstrate the health benefits of watermelon intake on improved blood pressure regulation along with others. Similarly, cherries, raspberries, walnuts and green tea are rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fatty acids...

A policy perspective on the emergence and fate of the US Rockfish Conservation Areas

Creator:: Spahr, Alexandra J.
Abstract:: Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs) are large areas closed to fishing in federal waters off the Washington, Oregon and California coasts. The Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) was responsible for the creation and regulation of the RCAs. The RCA boundaries were defined in 2002 to rebuild rockfish species declared as overfished...

Mental and biophysical terrains of biodiversity : conservation of oak woodland on family forest

Creator:: Fischer, Alexandra Paige
Abstract:: This research analyzes how family forest owners conceptualize biodiversity in one high-conservation value area of oak woodland in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. Oregon white oak (Quercus garyanna) woodland, one of the most biologically diverse ecotypes in the state of Oregon, is in decline. Much of the oak ecotype...

Subsurface disposal of domestic septic effluent in a haploxeralf soil in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Silvernale, Alexandra
Abstract:: Experimental Drainfields: Standard subsurface sewage disposal systems, gravity loaded and 60 cm deep on slopes above 15% did not show signs of effluent surfacing after 14 months of operation. However, subsurface signs of failure were found on both the experimental sites and on older drainfields established in identical soils. Evidence...
