A trial was conducted May 1 to September 4, 1989 at the Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Research Center (EOARC) Burns, OR to examine the
effects of strip or continuous grazing management on the diet and
performance of steers grazing native flood meadows. The objective was
to determine if strip grazing would...
The photoelectron spectra of a series of halogenated
molecules have been investigated in the gas phase. Both
core-ionization energies and Auger kinetic energies were
measured to probe the nature of the interaction that holds
a core electron to the molecule.
It was found that satellite structure (shake) could be
used...
Caurinus dectes Russell is a minute, brachypterous scorpionfly
which was discovered at Marys Peak, Benton County, Oregon, in
1976, and subsequently described as the only representative of the
subfamily Caurininae within the Boreidae (snow scorpionflies).
Caurinus dectes is now known to range from the Olympic Peninsula
and Northern Cascades in...
Competitive exclusion has been the mechanism hypothesized to account for the biological control of fire blight disease of pear and apple by the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens A506 (A506). Recent laboratory assays demonstrated, however, that A506 produces an antibiotic that is toxic to the fire blight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, when cultured...
The purpose of this study was to obtain information about clothing acquisition practices of low-income mothers. An interview questionnaire was designed to obtain information about the clothing sources perceived as available to these women, the sources of clothing used, the sources of information used, the preplanning practices used, and demographic...
The experiment was conducted to compare multiple pest (weed, soil arthropod and diseases) suppression by cereal cover crops in 'Selva' and 'Totem' strawberry. In addition, perlite was used to compare improvement of soil and root aeration which might modify strawberry black root rot complex. Small-seeded summer annual weeds were suppressed...
