The effects of mold level (Botrytis cinerea), processing method (fresh, individually quick frozen (IQF), frozen sugared sliced (FSS), freeze dried (FD), canned, and preserves), and maturity (underripe, normal, and overripe) and strawberry volatiles were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) using on-column entrainment of headspace volatiles in aqueous extracts. Computerized...
Armillariella mellea (Vahl. ex Fr. ) Karst. was grown aseptically
in hazel stems (Corylus cornuta var. californica) which were used in
the forest to infect 290 ponderosa pines (Pinus ponderosa Laws.)
which had been "stressed" in five different manners plus two control
groups. All trees were inoculated twice giving a...
Modern agricultural erosion was studied using ¹³⁷Cs from
fallout as an indicator of erosion/deposition. The study area was a
285 ha agricultural watershed in the hilly western margin of the
Willamette Valley, a high winter rainfall zone in which fall-planted
crops are commonly grown.
Objectives of the study were (i)...
The alternate bearing cycle in the 'Barcelona' cultivar poses a
major problem to the filbert industry. This study was conducted to
alleviate this problem in one of two ways: by (1) increased floral
initiation in the "on" year, and (2) increased cluster set in the "off"
year. Growth regulators were...
