Soil acidification sometimes is necessary for optimum plant growth
west of the Cascade Mountain Range. Commercial producers of
blueberries, azaleas, rhododendrons, and other ornamentals may
need to reduce soil pH for optimum production.
Soil acidification is best performed prior to planting; it is much
more difficult in established plantings. No...
A massive release of methane on the Cascadia Hydrate Ridge was documented
during a ROPOS program in August 1998, consistent with previously reported
observations in 1996. An extensive survey of the seafloor revealed that the
seeps lie within a narrow band trending 109 degrees. This feature parallels larger
mounds imaged...
Processors need broccoli with better quality traits than what is available in cultivars developed for California and Mexico fresh markets. Farmers need to reduce labor costs of broccoli production by mechanizing harvest. Most contemporary commercially available cultivars are not suitable for either mechanical harvest or processing. The objective of the...
Yaquina Bay and River waters were sampled in May, 1951 "to determine the suitability of these waters for the propagation of fresh market shellfish." (p.1) Found that the intensity and extent of pollution had increased "markedly" since the previous survey of March, 1948. "The waters of the bay are grossly...
Objectives:
1. Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and
improved plant architecture.
2. Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture,
flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
3. Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance.
4. Map genes...
