An evaluation of factors influencing the management of Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Creator:: Kepler, Ryan M.
Abstract:: The black vine weevil (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a persistent pest of nursery operations in the United States, feeding on over 140 species of plants. The goals of this research were to 1) assess the behavioral response of BVW to a commonly employed insecticide bifenthrin (Talstar 0.2G®)...

Assessing landscape complexity using remotely sensed and field based measurements : does landscape complexity drive leafroller parasitism rates on Oregon caneberry farms?

Creator:: Winfield, Tammy L.
Abstract:: Landscape heterogeneity is thought to differ among farm management types (i.e. organic and conventional), and this difference is hypothesized to result in variations in pest control by natural enemies. However, it is unclear if these variations in pest control are driven by landscape structure or by farm management practices themselves....

Aquatic pesticide best management practices and relational database for the protection of NOAA trust species

Creator:: Gianou, Kelsey, Lam, Jennifer, Emanuel, Robert, Jepson, Paul, and Chan, Sam
Abstract:: Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. There can be unintended consequences, however, to native, threatened, and endangered species. There is little information on the impacts of aquatic pesticides and best management practices (BMPs) to NOAA...

The SELCTV database : the susceptibility of arthropod natural enemies to agricultural pests to pesticides

Creator:: Theiling, Karen M.
Abstract:: Documentation of the side effects of pesticides on arthropod natural enemies has expanded rapidly since the 1950's as part of an increase in non-target side effects literature. Most reviews have been based on empirical analysis of selected literature. The SELCTV database was developed to make a larger information base accessible...

Institutional capacity building through land and water stewardship integration - an analysis of source water protection in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Odom, Olivia
Abstract:: Globally, access to safe, reliable drinking water sources is a major challenge of this generation. Protected sources of drinking water provide communities with a sustainable, vital resource, yet many public water suppliers lack legal authority over their source water protection (SWP) area, especially in surface water systems. Absence of legal...

Effect of in-servicing teachers on student achievement in integrated pest management

Creator:: Doerner, Robert W.
Abstract:: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if inservicing Agriculture Science and Technology (AST) teachers over a new curriculum, resulted in increased student achievement. Specific objectives were to: 1) determine the subject areas (lessons) for a curriculum for teaching Integrated Pest Management (IPM); 2) develop a curriculum for...

Children's conceptions of nature as influenced by a residential environmental education program

Creator:: Rebar, Bryan M.
Abstract:: The majority of research in environmental education (EE) has focused on measuring knowledge, attitudes, and behavior using quantitative tools and methods. Few studies have attempted to elicit and characterize children's conceptions of the environment or nature, particularly those resulting from a residential EE experience, which contextualize knowledge, attitudes, and may...

Web-PST : web-based pesticide screening tool

Creator:: Yao, Hua
Abstract:: Web-based Pesticide Screening Tool (Web-PST) is a web-based software application for evaluating the potential risk of pesticides on the surrounding environment. It uses the formulas and standards specified by the Soil/Pesticide Interaction Screening Procedure Version II (SPISP II). Web-PST closely models the stand-alone Windows application Windows Pesticide Screening Tool (WIN-PST)....

Overwintering survival of stem rust on perennial ryegrass : construction of a simulation model, and effects of the mycoparasite Sphaerellopisis filum

Creator:: Gordon, Tyler C.
Abstract:: Stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola, can cause yield reductions exceeding 90% on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) crops grown for seed if not treated with fungicide in the spring. There is evidence that late-spring stem rust epidemics are initiated by populations that survived the winter....
