The responses of 'Oregon 1604' snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.), 'Early Thorogreen' lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.), and
'Takii's Extra Early' soybeans (Glycine max L.) to two methods of
inoculation with rhizobium (seedcoating and furrow treatments) and
rates of nitrogen fertilizer were studied in field experiments.
Nitrogen rates ranged from...

The effects of modifying air temperature, soil temperature,
and soil moisture levels on flowering, fruiting, and chemical composition
of Tendercrop snap beans were studied in experiments in
the field and in the greenhouse during 1961, 1962, and 1963.
High maximum temperatures of 95-105° F. during bloom reduced
the percent set...
The persistent color (pc) trait in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) belongs to a member of the cosmetic stay-green gene family. It is considered very desirable by snap bean breeders for its impacts on pod quality. Persistent color imparts a uniform dark-green color to pods and expresses in seeds as...
Interspecific hybridizations between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius
and between P. vulgaris and P. lunatus were investigated. Prefertilization
events were similar in inter- and intra-specific crosses. Fertilization
was completed in all crosses and the time of fertilization was
dependent on the maternal parent, reflecting differences in the time of
maturation...
Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...
Declines in Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus, hereafter sage-grouse) populations could be attributed to low chick survival, which may be influenced by the availability of food and cover at sites used by females rearing broods. Habitat attributes important to broods may vary regionally; thus, it is necessary to understand factors affecting...
