The inheritance of ten quantitative characteristics in sweet corn (Zea mays L.)

Creator:: Hansen, Leon Afton
Abstract:: The inheritance of ten characteristics of sweet corn was studied by quantitative genetic analysis. Characters studied were tassel date, silk date, plant height, ear height, shank length, husk extension, tip blanking, number of kernel rows, ear length, and weight of the first ear. Diallel crosses were made between seven inbred...

The influence of pollinators on the maintenance of mixed mating in a population of the blue columbine, Aquilegia coerulea (Ranunculaceae)

Creator:: Sweet, Heather R.
Abstract:: Pollination ecology may play an important role in the maintenance of selfing in populations of self-compatible hermaphroditic plants where both selfing and outcrossing occur (mixed mating). Behavior and abundance of pollinators can influence the two major modes of selfing; autogamy (selfing within a flower) and geitonogamy (selfing between flowers on...

Influence of cover crops on vine performance at two Willamette Valley vineyards

Creator:: Sweet, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: It is estimated that 50-75% of Oregon vineyards cultivate at least every other alley in order to 1) reduce water stress 2) increase vineyard canopy temperatures and 3) increase nutrient availability. Because many vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, frequent tillage could result in increased soil erosion, decreased soil quality...

Effects of harvest date on sweet corn maturity, sugar content and yield

Creator:: Wong, Yueh-Mei
Abstract:: Studies were conducted in 1976 and 1977 on the effects of harvest dates on maturity, yields and sugar content of four cultivars of sweet corn. The cultivars were 'Golden Cross Bantam', 'Jubilee', 'Rapidpak' and 'Tendertreat'. Moisture content of kernels ranged from 80 to 67 per cent for the six harvest...

Effect of nitrogen rates, row spacings and population densities on yield and ear characteristics of sweet corn

Creator:: Yassen, Abdulameir Ali
Abstract:: The response of sweet corn Zea mays L. var. rugosa (cultivar 'Jubilee') to row spacing, nitrogen and population density at two planting dates was studied in a field experiment at the OSU Vegetable Research Farm in 1984. Variables included two row spacings, 75 cm and 90 cm, three nitrogen rates,...

Sweet corn decline syndrome in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hoinacki, Elisabeth V.
Abstract:: For the past several years vegetable growers in Oregon's Willamette Valley have experienced reduced yields in their sweet corn plantings. We conducted studies to 1) describe the symptomology and etiology of the disease, 2) test a root rot rating system we developed to evaluate factors in the disease syndrome, and...

The effects of plant population and nitrogen on sweet corn yields

Creator:: Moss, Joe Dick
Abstract:: The response of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa cultivar Jubilee) to 12 populations and four nitrogen rates was studied in a field experiment. Populations ranged from 43, 904 to 329,800 plants/ha with nitrogen levels ranging from 0 to 224 Kg/ha. A systematic spacing design was used. Plant height,...

The effects of tillage and irrigation on sweet corn (Zea mays L.) development, yield, and water use

Creator:: Petersen, Kerry L.
Abstract:: 'Jubilee' sweet corn was grown under conventional tillage and strip tillage in 1982 and under conventional tillage, strip tillage and no-till culture in 1983. Effects on soil temperature, stand establishment, plant development parameters, overall yield, yield components, and water use efficiency were measured. In 1982, conventional tillage appeared to have...

The effects of planting date, nitrogen and boron application on mineral element concentration, yield, dry weight and fresh weight of sweet corn

Creator:: Sisson, Jonathan Anthony
Abstract:: The effects of planting date on mineral element concentration in sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Jubilee) at six developmental stages and on yield were investigated. Planting dates were chosen to correspond to early, mid-season, and late commercial plantings. Two nitrogen rates were applied since nitrogen is more often limiting...
