Boron sprays produced fruit set increases in 'Barcelona'
hazelnut orchards in 1984 and in 1985. The absolute fruit set was
correlated with leaf B content but not with nut B. With relative
fruit set (RFS), B content of nuts in May (r = 0.63**) was more
strongly related to set...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a contextual model for integrating lessons

Victoria blight is used as a model plant disease that conforms to an inverse gene-for-gene interaction. C. victoriae virulence is dependent upon its production of victorin, a host-specific toxin that induces programmed...
In situ light and dark planktonic and benthal respirometers were
used to measure the oxygen requirements of Yaquina estuary water
and benthal deposits. Respirometer devices were constructed so that
actual conditions of mixing could be simulated and benthal deposit
disturbance would be minimized.
A mathematical model of a benthal respirometer...
A diversity in climate, geologic parent material, and soil
characteristics exist in Jackson, Josephine, Coos, and Douglas
Counties of southwest Oregon. Previous field trials and soil testing
results have revealed uncertainties as to the phosphorus (P) status
of the soils in this area. Twenty-four sites from nine agriculturally
significant soil...
