The efficacy of a new broad-spectrum anthelmintic, Netobimin[subscript R]
(coded SCH 32481-Schering Corporation) was evaluated in two trials
conducted during either the spring or fall grazing seasons of 1984 in
Western Oregon using 20 cross-bred yearling beef heifers and 30
cross-bred spring lambs, respectively. Percent efficacies were
determined in both...
A study was initiated to 1) determine which species of
gastrointestinal nematodes are present in cattle in selected areas of
Oregon, 2) examine the seasonal abundance of these nematodes as an
indicator of periods of transmission and 3) determine at what season
developmental inhibition occurs in the major genera of...
The use of bromoxynil (3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzonitrile)
to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops has become widespread.
This herbicide has not always performed satisfactorily for reasons
which were not clearly evident.
The effects of temperature, light and humidity on the herbicidal
activity of bromoxynil on coast fiddleneck, Amsinckia intermedia,
were studied. Fiddleneck...
Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs) are caused by a group of fungal pathogens that attack the xylem tissue of mature grapevines worldwide. In the past 30 years, their incidence has increased, both in emerging grape-producing regions, as well as those with an extended history of viticulture. In the same time span,...

The dog selected to adopt can vary for many reasons, one of which is breed preference. This study found dog...
Landscape models for elk distribution developed at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range from 1993-1995 were tested on another landscape during 2003-2005 at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area. Using location data obtained from 23 wild elk captured and fitted with GPS telemetry collars, 8 spatial resource selection function models representing 8...
