Studies of some components of test weight in Soft White wheat
revealed distinct subclass differences. Wheat kernels of Soft White
more completely occupied a given volume than did kernels of White
Club. The Soft White kernels were larger and had a higher density
than the White Club kernels. Because of...
The vast area of sandy soils in Thailand which are low in fertility
and can hardly hold water, prompted this investigation. A greenhouse
study was conducted from December 1978 to April 1980 to find out
the effect of straw on nitrogen availability that could affect dry
matter yield and nitrogen...
Morphological changes in five clonally propagated genotypes
of Agrostis L. resulting from variations in environment were
studied in six natural environments extending from southern Oregon
to northern British Columbia. These same clones were also subjected
to four different cutting heights in turf plots. In addition to
the field experiments, they...
Herbicides were tested for the selective control of bentgrass in
Kentucky bluegrass turf under three levels of competition. Best control
in zero competition was obtained with a winter treatment of
bromacil at two pounds per acre. Under circumferential and direct
competition, best control was obtained with a summer and fall...
The extent of the competitive effect of wild oats on winter wheat
yield was estimated in field studies on three commercial wheat farms in
the Willamette Valley. The morphological development of the wild oat
plants was also documented.
Wild oats were removed from stands of wheat in six different treatments;...
Experiments were conducted to determine identification methods
that could be used to differentiate annual and perennial plant types within
the species Poa annua L. Thereafter, Poa annua plants were collected
from numerous turfed areas in three Northern Pacific Coastal
regions and identified as annual or perennial biotypes.
It was found...
