Two studies were initiated in June of 1981 in order to gain greater understanding of the growth and fruiting habits of field grown strawberries in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Yield component analysis of 'Benton', Oregon's leading cultivar and an advanced breeding selection, 'OR-US 4356' was conducted during the first (1981) and...
Field survivals of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) runner plants
dug from December to April in both 1979 and 1980 were above 9C% when
planted about May 1. When plants from the same digging dates were
planted in early June, survival of March-dug 'Olympus' declined to
88% and survival of late-April-dug...
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from strawberries was purified,
partially characterized, and used to study its role in the degradation
of anthocyanin pigments. The extraction method included the use of a
buffered solution containing the phenolic binders Polyclar AT and
Amberlite XAD-4. Addition of Triton X-100 resulted in an increase of
the...
With over three billion pounds of berries grown nationally each year, strawberries are an important economic contributor to agriculture in the US (Grubinger, 2012). However the strawberry industry in Oregon has been in a period of transition over the past few years. Strawberry acreage, planted and harvested, as well as...
Oregon is the number three producer of strawberries in the nation despite the fact that Oregon strawberry acreage dropped from 2,600 acres in 2005 to 2,000 acres in 2014 (Beeles, 2015; NASS, 2019, Losh, 2017). With over three billion pounds of berries grown nationally each year, strawberries are an important...
Two experiments were conducted from 1987 to 1990 to study the effect of date of renovation on strawberry yield and yield components. In the first experiment, 'Benton' plants were renovated from July 6, 1988 (1 week after harvest - WAH) to August 24, 1988 (8 WAH). In the second experiment...
