Two field corn experiments were conducted on a Woodburn silt loam soil near Corvallis, Oregon, in 1972-1973 to investigate the effects of certain soil management practices on the yield and performance of corn (Zea mays L.). Experiment I involved variables that included three corn row spacings (76, 114, and 152...
The response of sweet corn Zea mays L. var. rugosa (cultivar
'Jubilee') to row spacing, nitrogen and population density at two
planting dates was studied in a field experiment at the OSU
Vegetable Research Farm in 1984. Variables included two row
spacings, 75 cm and 90 cm, three nitrogen rates,...
The effects of modifying air temperature, soil temperature,
and soil moisture levels on flowering, fruiting, and chemical composition
of Tendercrop snap beans were studied in experiments in
the field and in the greenhouse during 1961, 1962, and 1963.
High maximum temperatures of 95-105° F. during bloom reduced
the percent set...

The responses of 'Oregon 1604' snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.), 'Early Thorogreen' lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.), and
'Takii's Extra Early' soybeans (Glycine max L.) to two methods of
inoculation with rhizobium (seedcoating and furrow treatments) and
rates of nitrogen fertilizer were studied in field experiments.
Nitrogen rates ranged from...
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.).
Field...

Four winter wheat cultivars, Bezostaya, Maris-Hobbit, Roussalka
and Stephens, selected on the basis of the diversity of their pedigree and phenotype, were planted at Hyslop Experiment Station near
Corvallis in Western Oregon to study their performance at three
different row spacings (10, 16 and 24 cm), three seeding rates
(100,...
During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied
at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and
density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development
at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate
snap bean. High and low plant densities were...
'Tendercrop' and 'OSU 949' green snap beans were grown at
populations varying from 77,000 to 392,000 plants per acre with two
row spacings and six square arrangements ranging from 4 x 4 to 9 x 9
inches. Maximum yield of 10.1 tons per acre (32 percent sieve size
4 and...
The response of two newly released cultivars of winter wheat
when grown under different row spacings, seeding rates and nitrogen
levels were investigated. Measurements made included grain yield,
tiller number per unit area, plant height, 300 kernel weight, bushel
weight and protein content of the grain. Hyslop and Yamhill cultivars...
Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), carrots (Daucus carota L.), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were grown for 3 years on soils amended with S or lime and N fertilizer. Yields of all crops increased with lime application but response to N varied among crops and years. Lettuce head weight tended...
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...
The severity of wildfires around the globe is increasing. At the same time, urban development is expanding outward into areas where severe fires occur. There is an increased risk of home loss to fires in areas where severe fires and urban expansion meet. Ignition of homes or nearby fuel is...
