Experiments were carried out to study the movement of water and
halide anions in perched water tables or saturated zones in the soil
and upper rock mantle of eight different experimental sites located
on low hills near the western border of the Willamette Valley. At each
site the experimental procedure...
The objective of this study was to estimate the bulk densities and points on the moisture-tension curves and to determine their associated variances for some of the selected mapping units in Central Oregon. These variances will produce informations concerning the precision of the mean and the optimum sampling schemes, for...
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) ranging
from 9.6 to 14.3 inches diameter breast height were treated with
the organic arsenicals, monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA) and
cacodylic acid. Treatments were applied at monthly intervals from
February, 1967 to October, 1968, to ten to 25 trees each month.
Treated trees were sampled in...
The application of the widely used Penrnan-Monteith evapotranspiration equation to hybrid poplar trees is impossible without a valid surface resistance. The increase in applications of drip-irrigated hybrid poplar trees for wood chip stock and veneer production, as well as bioremediation, constitutes a need for estimating the evapotranspiration of these trees....
Seed moisture is a primary factor influencing seed quality during harvesting, storage, and marketing of grass seed. However, the Association of Official Seed Analysts' Rules for Testing Seeds do not contain methods for moisture testing. The oven methods in use by seed testing laboratories in the U.S. are diverse and...
