Nine Gray Podzolic soils from different physiographic regions
of Thailand were studied to determine their characteristics and
genesis in relation to their parent materials, land form, pedogenic
environment, classification and management. The clay was characterized
by X-ray diffraction and standard chemical and physical
analyses were performed. Mineralogy of the light...
The purpose of this research was to examine factors associated
with the social climate of single-sex and coeducational residence
halls, fraternities, sororities, and cooperatives on the Oregon State
University campus.
The primary sources of data for this study were student
responses to the ten subscales of the URES Form R,...
The purpose of this study was to compare the Chapter I supplemental mathematics program CAI with other Chapter I supplemental mathematics programs, Prescription Learning and the traditional "pull-out" program, in terms of achievement and retention of mathematics basic skills. There were 577 Chapter I students from 12 middle schools and...
Field study with 5 tall fescue genotypes treated at the vegetative
growth stage, with 0, 0.28, 0.56, and 0.84 kg/ha of mefluidide
was initiated in July, 1980. The regrowth of these plants were again
treated at the booting growth stage in April, 1981, with the same
rates of mefluidide as...
Three levels of dietary crude protein (8.6, 11.4, and 17.2) were
fed to 24 pony mares to determine the effects on the estrous cycle,
conception rate, and serum progesterone concentrations. Mares were allotted into three treatment groups designated as low protein (LP),
medium protein (MP), and high protein (HP). Following...
Four studies were conducted. First, mountain big sagebrush communities were burned at Lava Beds National Monument, California, and The Crooked River National Grassland, Oregon. In two years at Lava Beds, basal cover of Idaho fescue in one community and Thur- ber's needlegrass in one of three communities did not recover....
Studies were conducted from 1962 to 1966 to investigate the
effectiveness of several practices in manipulating medusahead
(Taeniatherum asperum (Sim. ) Nevski) infested and/or dominated
ecosystems by releasing competition in favor of perennial grasses.
Several herbicide treatments were evaluated for selective
control of medusahead and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L. )...
The success of a plant breeding program depends upon the availability of
useable genetic diversity. Such diversity may be enhanced depending on the type of
hybridization strategy employed. Segregating progenies resulting from F2
populations, a double cross, and a top cross were compared for the amount of
useable genetic diversity...
