The septoria diseases of winter wheat are a limiting factor to wheat production in the Willamette Valley. This publication will describe the symptoms and development of the septoria diseases, including the influence of environmental conditions, the reactions of different cultivars to Septoria, the impact of Septoria on yield, and control...

The larvae, or “worms,” of sawflies resemble small, green caterpillars
that feed on the leaves of various plants. Although sawflies are
rarely an economically important problem in Oregon cereal crops, unusually large populations (300 larvae/10 sweeps) of one species, probably Pachynematus sp., were found in Umatilla County in 2003. The...

The use of fungicides for the control of foot rot of winter
wheat, caused by Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides (Fron) Dei.,
requires a forecast of disease risk to optimize this management
practice ecologically and economically. Foot rot occurs in both
the mild, wet (100+ cm, ppt./year) annual cropped areas in western
Oregon,...
The extent of the competitive effect of wild oats on winter wheat
yield was estimated in field studies on three commercial wheat farms in
the Willamette Valley. The morphological development of the wild oat
plants was also documented.
Wild oats were removed from stands of wheat in six different treatments;...
Race identification of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis West. )
is influenced by environment, pathogen variability and host age.
Isolates of stripe rust were collected in the Pacific Northwest and
characterized on two sets of differential varieties; the "Oregon" and
the United States. Six of the seven isolates tested on the...
Trifluralin (a, a, a - trifluoro -2, 6 -dinitro-N, N-dipropyl-ptoluidine)
is effective in controlling downy brome (Bromus tectorum
L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.) but does not severely affect the
growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Studies were conducted
using germination chamber and greenhouse facilities to investigate
possible factors...
Footrot of wheat (Cercosporella herpotrichoides Fron) is a
major disease of winter wheat in certain areas of the world having a
cool, damp winter and early spring climate. In Oregon, it is an
economic problem in the higher rainfall wheat-growing areas in the
eastern portion of the state. This study...
Cephalosporium stripe of wheat (Triticum aestivum),
caused by the soilborne fungus Cephalosporium gramineum,
results in significant yield reductions in dryland winter
wheat crops of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The
development of resistant cultivars offers the best hope
for disease control. Breeding for resistance is hampered
by the long trial times...
