The effect of some factors that can affect quality characteristics of broccoli
florets in storage was evaluated. Quality characteristics of broccoli florets with
different rates of field nitrogen (N) application (0, 90, 180, and 270 Kg N/ha from
urea) were evaluated in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) (B-900 Cryovac
film) storage...
To determine the effect of bud pollination, compared to pollination
of open flowers and crossing, on field characteristics of broccoli progenies,
an experiment was conducted in 1974 and 1975 at Corvallis, Oregon.
Single plants of 55 broccoli lines were pollinated, using four methods,
i.e. bud pollination (BP), open flower pollination...

An inbred cabbage line (Brassica oleracea L. (Capitata group))
and an inbred broccoli line (B. oleracea L. (Italica group)) were
crossed. F₁ progeny were vigorous annuals. Of 3,260 F₂ plants, 250
were biennials and 70 developed cabbage heads. Of these 70, 32 were
annuals. Days to first visible buds of...
Effects of amount of applied water and frequency of irrigation
on head rot and yield of three broccoli cultivars were evaluated in
1987 and 1988. Two irrigation frequencies were established with a
line-source sprinkler system for 5.5 weeks during heading. The low-frequency
experiment was watered once per week and the...

With the hot summers of recent years causing significant heat damage to broccoli heads within the Willamette valley, varietal screenings for newer and more heat tolerant varieties became necessary. Most commercially available broccoli varieties are bred for production within milder and more climatically stable regions, such as the Salinas Valley...

Studies were conducted on the mechanisms contributing to
resistance in broccoli, Brassica oleracea italica, to the garden
symphylan, Scutigerella immaculata (Newport). Differences in
resistance to symphylan injury were shown between five selected
broccoli cultivars. The hybrid cultivars, Crusader, Green Duke
and Bravo, showed a higher level of resistance to symphylans...

Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...

There are essentially three types of grapes available in Oregon:
• American (Vitis labrusca), including Concord and Niagara; • European (V. vinifera), which are the predominant commercial wine cultivars (varieties) in Oregon; and • French-American hybrids, which were developed from crosses of European with American species.

Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate the effects of integrating conservation tillage and cover cropping on broccoli production as well as agroecological parameters. A field experiment was conducted during 1996-97 at the Oregon State University Horticulture Research farm near Corvallis, OR. The specific objectives...

It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties lack important traits required under organic and low-input production conditions. This is primarily due to selection in conventional breeding programmes...
Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing
and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a
cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common
vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium
multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...
Kiwifruit are native to southeast Asia. There are more than 50 species in the genus Actinidia, and many have commercial potential. The most common kiwifruit species grown commercially is Actinidia deliciosa cultivar Hayward. Consumers are very familiar with this brown, fuzzy
fruit.
Carrots cooked by microwaves were judged less tender in both
the core and external flesh area than those cooked by conventional
boiling. Broccoli cooked by microwaves was less tender in the
external layer but softer in the central flesh than that cooked conventionally.
Cooking methods made essentially no difference in...
