  • Retention of wheat alleles in imidazolinone-resistant wheat x jointed goatgrass recurrent backcross generations

    Creator:
    Kroiss, Lori Jennifer
    Abstract:
    The retention of D genome wheat alleles in the progeny of imidazolinoneresistant wheat (R-wheat) and jointed goatgrass hybrids backcrossed to jointed goatgrass was documented in this study. Resistance to the imazamox application was used as a marker for the imidazolinone-resistance gene. Fourteen simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, for the wheat...

  • Environment, symbolism, and changing gender roles in Oregon's Santiam Canyon

    Creator:
    Gilden, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    In the early 1990s, a cutback in harvestable timber led to economic stress among the families and communities of Oregon's Santiam Canyon.

  • Conservation programs from the farmer's perspective : where is the greener grass?

    Creator:
    Gibson, Jennifer S.
    Abstract:
    On the national level, landowners demand for conservation programs like EQIP and WRP has far outstripped federal funding in 2001. Yet within Oregon's Willamette Valley, both EQIP and CREP have had a rough time gaining momentum. Much of the past research on rural landowners' conservation participation has relied on surveys...

  • Decomposition of Brassicaceae Residue in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Berry, Pete A.
    Abstract:
    An important inoculum source of Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (syn Plenodomus spp.), the pathogens that cause black leg in Brassicaceae crops, is infected plant residues. The general acceptance of conservation tillage in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA, has enabled a build-up in the amount of residue on or near...

  • Soil Solarization for Weed Management in Tree Seedling Nurseries in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Wada, Nami
    Abstract:
    Soil solarization is a pre-planting practice to reduce weed pressure by trapping solar energy using a transparent polyethylene film to heat soil. Soil solarization has been successfully used in regions with high solar radiation. The purpose of this research was to determine if soil solarization under Pacific Northwest conditions could...
