Toxicity of methyl bromide to fungi inhabiting Dahurian larch wood

Creator:: Rhatigan, Ronald G.
Abstract:: Concerns over the possibility of exotic pest introductions from eastern Russia to the West Coast of the United States due to proposed log imports raises the question of the effectiveness of possible mitigation measures. Toxicity of methyl bromide to representative pathogenic fungi was tested by exposing Armillaria ostoyae, Heterobasidion annosum,...

Western larch resistance to Douglas-fir beetle attack

Creator:: Neal, Tiffany A.
Abstract:: Live western larch, Larix occidentalis Nutt., a tree species resistant to the Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, produces the monoterpene 3-carene in higher concentrations compared to Douglas-fir, the preferred host of D. pseudotsugae (Reed et al. 1986). The inhibitory effects on attraction to aggregation pheromones and toxicity of 3-carene to...

Lodging control and yield enhancement in Morex spring barley with paclobutrazol treatment

Creator:: Morrison, Laura A.
Abstract:: Lodging in cereals can cause significant decreases in yield. It is both a problem in susceptible cereal cultivars with a tall-stemmed, weak-strawed growing habit and in lodging-resistant cereal cultivars when they are grown under high-nitrogen, high-moisture regimes. Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are chemical growth retardants that offer a method of...

Status, distribution and seasonal variation of filbert aphid resistance to selected insecticides in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Katundu, Juma
Abstract:: Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely, carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...

Effects of growth-regulating treatments on eradication of PVX and PVS in potato shoot-tip culture

Creator:: Gallardo-Ramirez, Mirian
Abstract:: Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of growth-promoting treatments on potato sprouts and plantlets grown in vitro, and to determine the relationships between growth rate and eradication of PVX and PVS through shoot-tip culture. The approach consisted of exposing plant material to potential growth-regulating treatments, selecting the more...

On-farm inquiry and assessment of tillage and cover cropping for white mold control in snap bean production

Creator:: Harrison, Elizabeth Langham.
Abstract:: Cultural practices in snap bean production were evaluated at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm Corvallis, Oregon. In addition, decision-making in snap bean production was assessed on five farms in the Coburg-Junction City-Harrisburg regions of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A field experiment with cover crop and tillage techniques was...

Response of downy brome (Bromus tectorum) and Kentucky bluegrass (Pao pratensis) to primisulfuron

Creator:: Hendrickson, Paul E.
Abstract:: Glasshouse and growth-chamber experiments were conducted to evaluate primisulfuron phytotoxicity and the influence of adjuvants on downy brome and Kentucky bluegrass. GR₅₀ (50% growth reduction) values were 0.97 ± 0.57 and 8.07 ± 1.85 g/ha for downy brome and Kentucky bluegrass, respectively. Primisulfuron was applied to downy brome and Kentucky...

Sampling methods, biology and management of the mint flea beetle in central Oregon peppermint

Creator:: Morris, Mark A.
Abstract:: Sampling techniques were evaluated to quantify immature mint flea beetle (MFB), Longitrsus waterhousei Kutschera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), on peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), in central Oregon. During the study period, 1985-1988, soil samples of 350 cm³ were effective for collecting immature MFB. Sifting soil samples through screens was effective for estimating post-feeding...

Controlling damage by ring-necked pheasants to sprouting corn in southwestern Idaho

Creator:: Helmich, Bryan T.
Abstract:: During the springs of 1988 1989, experiments were conducted to determine effective methods of controlling damage by ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus coichicus) to sprouting corn in southwestern Idaho. Plot evaluations (1988) failed to demonstrate the ability of Miller Hot Sauce Animal Repellent, Isotox Seed Treater (F), provision of alternate food, and...
