Since its discovery in Oregon in 1946, the pear psylla, Psylla pyricola Forster, has become the most serious insect pest of pear. Damage to pear trees include the transmission of pear decline disease which has caused losses of trees, injection of a phytotoxic toxin resulting in tree shock and injury,...

This thesis addressed the potential of endemic predaceous and parasitic arthropods of
the Hood River Valley, Oregon to suppress the pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola F8rster.
Natural enemies adequately suppressed psylla in three of seven unsprayed orchards of
differing vegetational settings, orchard age, and size. Relatively few psylla natural enemies
dispersed...

This publication deals with the development of integrated pest management of insect and mite species that attack pears in southern Oregon. Since about 1900, when the pear industry became firmly established in this area, losses from arthropod pests have been an important and occasionally limiting factor to the continuous production...

Knowledge of the viruses which are mechanically transmitted
from pear to herbaceous plants and the diseases they cause in pear
is not complete. This thesis discusses the means used to mechanically
transmit pear viruses, the properties of those viruses and their
relationships with latent viruses of apple.
Herbaceous plant virus...

Since 1948, pear decline has been responsible for the devitalization
and death of many pear trees in the Pacific Coast states and
British Columbia.
Use of anatomical abnormalities of the graft union as a diagnostic
technique to separate pear decline from other disorders exhibiting
similar symptoms was evaluated. Modifications in...
Potential sources of inoculum of Phialophora malorum
were investigated. P. malorum was found to be a soil-borne
fungus whose role as a postharvest pathogen of pear is
dependent upon passive dispersal with infested soil. P.
malorum survived in soil under a wide range of conditions,
with greatest survival in cool,...
The ecological interrelationships of mites occurring in
and near the Hood River Valley, Oregon, pome fruit orchards
were investigated to determine the possibility of an integrated
control program using the species already present.
Survey sampling methods were used to study mites on wild
hosts (Crataegus douglasii Lindl., Crataegus columbiana Howell,...
There was a linear relationship of [alpha]-amylase activity
from 2 to 12 hours incubation in both freeze-dried and fresh
'd'Anjou' pear fruit tissue. Activity was greater, however,
in fresh as compared with freeze-dried tissues. [alpha]-Amylase
activity from both types of samples was not detected until
60 minutes incubation. After 90...
Arthropod communities in pear are conceptualized as hierarchically
organized systems in which several levels of organization or subsystems
can be recognized between the species population level and the community
as a whole. An individual tree is taken to be the community habitat with
arthropod subcommunities developing on leaf, fruit and...
Conditions were established for inducing pear blossom blast
caused by Pseudomonas syringae (Ps) on both attached and detached
shoots. The incidence of disease was proportional to the log of Ps
population under optimal temperature, moisture and bloom developmental
stage. Highest incidence of infection followed occurrence of a major
exotherm in...

Container grown pear trees were used to determine the effects of the following factors on the susceptibility to Phytophthora syringae: 1) tree nitrogen (N) status and foliar sprays of urea and copper-EDTA (CuEDTA); 2) dormancy and environmental conditions; 3) wound and wound age; and 4) chemical and biological control measures....
The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...
