An investigation of the effects of soil and foliar applications
of boron and of time of foliar application of boron on
growth, yield, and boron content of bush snap beans was made
during the 1962 growing season. This study was conducted at two
locations: Corvallis and Aurora, Oregon.
Yield, dry...
In previous years, at Corvallis, yields of bush snap beans
varied among planting dates. In order to obtain additional information
on the effect of planting dates on the growth, development and
yield of snap beans, four field plantings and two greenhouse plantings
of the variety O.S.U. 2051 were made.
Results...
The effects of plant population densities on the growth and development
of six cultivars of bush snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
were studied in two field experiments. A systematic planting design
was used to achieve a range of densities from 21- to 110 plants per
m² and a rectangularity of...
Five boron rates and seven water levels were applied
to bush green beans (Phaseolus vulqaris cv Oregon 91G) and
to cauliflower (Brassica olereacea var. botrytis, cultivar
"Snowball Y") in 1989 and 1990 to evaluate their effects on
total yield of both crops and on outer quality, head
hollowness and internal...
During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied
at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and
density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development
at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate
snap bean. High and low plant densities were...
Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), carrots (Daucus carota L.), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were grown for 3 years on soils amended with S or lime and N fertilizer. Yields of all crops increased with lime application but response to N varied among crops and years. Lettuce head weight tended...
