Experiments were conducted to compare differences in P uptake
characteristics between two winter wheat cultivars Stephens and
Yamhill (Triticum aestivum L) as related to root morphologies.
Root length, root surface area and mean root radius were compared.
Plant roots and shoots were separately analyzed for P content.
The cultivars were...
Hand-defoliation was evaluated for its ability to
simulate herbivory by cinnabar moth larvae, Tyria
jacobaeae (L.) (Arctiidae) on the weed tansy ragwort,
Senecio jacobaea L. (Asteraceae). The evaluation was done
on a field population of flowering ragwort, for three
different timings (early, middle, and late season) of
damage.
In the...
Previous work has shown that diuron (3-(3, 4- dichlorophenyl)-1,
1-dimethylurea) is less toxic to fall-planted wheat than to wheat
planted in the spring. Diuron has been a significant factor in increasing
yields of winter wheat grown in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
The influence of several selected environmental factors on diuron
toxicity...
Parents and progeny populations from a cross of 'Stephens'x 'Tibet dwarf' were grown in a spaced-planted experiment to obtain information concerning the nature of inheritance and possible associations between grain yield and the components of yield. Agronomic traits measured on an individual plant basis were: heading date, days to maturity,...
As a preliminary step toward the establishment of a
70 mm. aerial photo timber inventory system capable of
generating accurate stand tables, stock tables, and gross
volume estimates, this project focuses on the development
of a system which (1) eliminates the need to measure tree
height on the photos through...
Number of harbor seals, counted on 32 haul-out areas in Oregon, increased by 6 - 8.8 % per year from 1975 - 1983. Percent of seals in bays has increased an average 1.8%/year, from 47% in 1975 to 61% in 1983. Along the central Oregon coast, harbor seals were most...
The passing of the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution has given to individual states the authority to regulate the sale, distribution and taxation of domestically produced wines, and made the wine trade potentially significant as a means of augmenting state revenues. In the state of Oregon, table wines...
The fundamental objective of this analysis was to isolate and
identify the factors governing the demand for domestically produced
rainbow trout in a representative west coast market, and assess the
impact on that demand, if any, of the introduction of pansize salmon.
The approach taken in this market demand study...
