Traditionally, M. chitwoodi is controlled with
chemical nematicides, many of which risk
suspension for use on potatoes due to health and
environmental concerns. It is essential to develop
and refine alternative strategies for controlling
Columbia root-knot nematode now, so that
productive and profitable potato acreage will not
be lost if...

To disseminate update technologies and to enhance capabilities of resource poor farm families for the production of capture as well as culture fisheries, using natural and socio-economic resources an extensive study on linkage between resource availability and production potentiality were undertaken in the study area (under New Alluvial Zone of...
The use of management units for soil testing and nutrient application is an
effective strategy to increase accuracy in monitoring and managing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and other nutrients. A management unit can be a group of fields, a single field, or an area within a field. To measure changes...
Survey In 1995, the Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District interviewed 90 farmers in northwest Oregon's Tualatin River Basin, using a survey developed by the USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service. Crop rotations, yields, tillage, fertilizer and irrigation practices were recorded....
A system of quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations arising in the modeling of diffusion in a fissured medium is studied. There is one such equation in the local cell coordinates at each point of the medium, and these are coupled through a similar equation in the global coordinates. It is shown...
A new density variable, empirically corrected for pressure, is constructed. This is done by first fitting compressibility (or sound speed) computed from global ocean datasets to an empirical function of pressure and in situ density (or specific volume). Then, by replacing true compressibility by this best-fit virtual compressibility in the...
Shotgun metagenomic DNA sequencing is a widely applicable tool for characterizing the functions that are encoded by microbial communities. Several bioinformatic tools can be used to functionally annotate metagenomes, allowing researchers to draw inferences about the functional potential of the community and to identify putative functional biomarkers. However, little is...
Somatic growth variation manifests from the cumulative effects of a suite of biological, ecological, and environmental processes and can have profound effects on individual fitness and species population dynamics. As ectotherms whose growth dynamics are greatly influenced by environmental factors, sea turtles display considerable variation in somatic growth within and...
This study is part of the effort to quantify sediment budgets and understand the geomorphic evolution of steep mountains where debris flows are the dominant agent of upland erosion. Observations indicate that headwater basins in the Oregon Coast Range (OCR) can store a large amount of sediment, mostly from debris...
Fungi have long been used for discovery of new chemical scaffolds. In the clinical setting, the fungal natural products penicillin, statins, and cyclosporine have revolutionized medicine to treat diseases and infections. In the environment, fungal natural products have been used as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides to protect crops, livestock, and...
The Department of Nuclear Engineering at Oregon State University has performed a series of confirmatory tests for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). These tests have been conducted in the Advanced Plant Experiment (APEX) Facility which is a one quarter height scaled simulation of the Westinghouse Advanced Passive 600...
In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...
