In Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley, cabbage maggot (CM), Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) often renders Brassica root crops unmarketable. Scheduled insecticides are the only current control. Studies were conducted to: 1) describe and characterize spring emergence of CM flies and their seasonal flight activity relative to degree-day (DD) accumulations; 2)...

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...
Tipburn is a widespread physiological disorder of cabbage and
lettuce, caused by calcium deficiency. Symptoms of tipburn are
necrosis on margins of outer and inner head leaves in lettuce,
whereas in cabbage it is only on margins of inner leaves. Tipburn
on outer leaves may develop early, but symptoms remain...
Crops were planted into tilled strips in an established perennial ryegrass
(Lolium perenne L. 'Manhattan II'), sod covering various portions (55%, 66%,
77%) of the row width. Italian beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. 'Romano II')
biomass and yields showed a trend among sod strips with lower yields
produced in plots with...
