The objectives of these experiments were to determine
the feasibility of saving seed from snap bean fields in the
Willamette Valley that have been bypassed for canning and
freezing, and to study the effects of different seed production
methods on yield and quality of snap bean (Phaseolus
vulgaris L.).

A comparison was made between double rows 15 cm apart
on 76 cm centers and single rows 76 cm apart of 'Oregon
91G' bush green beans at the same planting densities in
three experiments in 1986 and 1987. There was a significant
increase in yields of pods from double rows...
Objective: Breed improved Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with:
a. White and gray mold resistance
b. Improved plant architecture
c. High economic yield
d. Improved pod quality (including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and delayed seed size development)
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...

Field experiments were conducted in 1981 and 1982 to
develop a method for using remotely measured leaf canopy-air
temperature differences (stress-degree-days (SDD)) to
schedule irrigations and to evaluate the effects of
differential irrigation on snap bean cultivars, 'Oregon
1604' and 'Galamor'. Effects on soil water potential
(SWP), leaf water potential...
