Weed management in table beets has improved with the recent registration of Dual Magnum. Hairy nightshade control continues to be a challenge, however. Nortron (ethofumesate) herbicide is now labeled for use and will help with nightshade control, but there is very little experience in the PNW on the best use...
Three trials at two locations were conducted to evaluate sweet corn hybrids for performance under root rot conditions. While both sugar/se and supersweet sweet corn hybrids were evaluated, the emphasis was again on identifying supersweet hybrids with improved tolerance to root rot.
Objective: to evaluate the impacts of N availability, microbial activity, and root health on corn productivity and yield in high biomass cover crop systems
Objective 1: Evaluation of commercial sweet corn varieties and inbred germplasm in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as root, stalk, and crown rot. Objective 2: Evaluation of microbial and chemical treatments for suppression of sweet corn seed rot/damping-off, root rot, and crown rot. Objective 3: Cooperate...
Objectives:
1. Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and improved plant architecture.
2. Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
3. Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance.
4. Develop a...
