Objectives:
1. Develop broccoli varieties adapted to western Oregon with suitable quality, high yields, and disease resistance. Specific traits include:
a. Early to midseason maturity
b. Concentrated yield potential
c. Head rot and downy mildew resistance
d. Large openly branched heads that are well exserted and have clean stems for...

Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...
Research efforts were focused on testing various inbred combinations for hybrid production,
and evaluating commercial cultivars for adaptation to Oregon growing conditions
and for head rot resistance
Research efforts were focused on testing various inbred combinations for hybrid production and adaptation to Oregon growing conditions. Trials at the Vegetable Re-search Farm included a yield trial of OSU derived hybrids, and observation trials of OSU inbreds and hybrids. Breeding funds were used for a major portion of the...
The Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission (OPVC) is one of twenty-three commodity commissions that fall under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). In 2020, the OPVC was successfully awarded a 3-year grant under the FDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) to conduct ‘Market Research and Development to...
Objective: Breed improved Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with:
a. White and gray mold resistance
b. Improved plant architecture
c. High economic yield
d. Improved pod quality (including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and delayed seed size development)
Research efforts were focused on testing various inbred combinations for hybrid produc-tion, and evaluating commercial cultivars for adaptation to Oregon growing conditions and for head rot resistance.
