Influence of cover crops on vine performance at two Willamette Valley vineyards

Creator:: Sweet, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: It is estimated that 50-75% of Oregon vineyards cultivate at least every other alley in order to 1) reduce water stress 2) increase vineyard canopy temperatures and 3) increase nutrient availability. Because many vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, frequent tillage could result in increased soil erosion, decreased soil quality...

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...

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...

Weeds With a Purpose: Interseeding Cover Crops into Sweet Corn in Western Oregon

Creator:: Donaldson, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can occur when the crop is still in the field, cover crops may not be able to be planted, due to...

Responses and relationships among Fusarium species, sweet corn, and western spotted cucumber beetles

Creator:: Miller, Nathan L. (Nathan Louis)
Abstract:: Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yields in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been declining since the early 1990’s. Studies were done to determine if there is a relationship between ear weight and several disease parameters including necrotic crowns or stalk nodes, nodal root rot, radicle root rot, and sub-crown...

Aroma compounds in sweet dry whey

Creator:: Mahajan, Shilpa S.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to identify aroma volatiles in sweet whey powder. Volatiles were isolated by solvent extraction and solvent assisted flavor evaporation. Fractionation was followed to separate acidic volatiles from nonacidic volatiles. Gas chromatography/olfactometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used for the identification ofaroma compounds. Osme methodology...

Sweet Whey Fermentation: An Exploration of Optimizing the Alcohol Production of Kluyveromyces marxianus and Measuring the Nitrogen Content of Sweet Whey

Creator:: Schaan, Keenan
Abstract:: It is estimated that for every 1 kg of cheese produced, approximately 9 kg of whey is created. For smaller producers something needs to be done to keep it out of water ways and potentially to valorize it. However, access to efficient secondary whey processing to isolate protein and lactose...

Metabolic effects of consumption of quercetin, ellagic acid, cherry, and apple phytochemical extracts in high-fat fed mice

Creator:: Smith, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Metabolic improvements and changes in gene expression were measured in mice fed polyphenol-rich extracts derived from apples and sweet cherries, and the common phytochemicals, quercetin and ellagic acid. Polyphenol-rich extracts were produced by solid phase extraction and column chromatography. Extracts and purified compounds were mixed into a high-fat (HF, 60%...

Soil organic matter management and root health

Creator:: Darby, Heather
Abstract:: Annual applications of fresh or composted dairy manure were assessed for their effects on root rots of sweet corn and snap bean and damping-off of cucumber in a field soil. Soil biological and physical properties were measured as possible indicators of root rot suppressive potential. Regardless of amendment type or...

Potential influences of oral contraceptive use and physical activity on bone health : a one-year prospective study in young women

Creator:: Almstedt Shoepe, Hawley Chase
Abstract:: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting 44 million Americans. A primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis is to develop a high peak bone mass in youth. Oral Contraceptives (OCs) alter hormones in women and could affect bone mass development. The interaction between OCs and skeletal mineralization is poorly understood. PURPOSE: Our...
