Models of weed communities aid in the development of
weed management strategies and elucidate the processes
and mechanisms that regulate plant populations and
communities. A conceptual weed community model was
developed to organize key regulatory life-history
processes. Specific investigations focused on the
processes of plant growth and competition, and
relationships...
Two field corn experiments were conducted on a Woodburn silt loam soil near Corvallis, Oregon, in 1972-1973 to investigate the effects of certain soil management practices on the yield and performance of corn (Zea mays L.). Experiment I involved variables that included three corn row spacings (76, 114, and 152...
Experiments were established on a Warden soil on Lower
Klamath Lake area to evaluate the effect of Mn and Cu, and Band
applications of ammonium sulfate on the uptake of micronutrients and
response from Mn and Cu applied for the production of small grain
crops.
Band application of ammonium sulfate...
Bush snap beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cvs 'G5O' (Gallatin
50) and 'OSU58' (Oregon 58) were used for anatomical and morphological
studies of their responses to three levels of temperature.
The plants were grown in a controlled chamber under a 16-hour
photoperiod at 60°/50°, 70°/60° and 80°/70°F (day/night temperature),
respectively.
The...
'Tendercrop' and 'OSU 949' green snap beans were grown at
populations varying from 77,000 to 392,000 plants per acre with two
row spacings and six square arrangements ranging from 4 x 4 to 9 x 9
inches. Maximum yield of 10.1 tons per acre (32 percent sieve size
4 and...
The response of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa cultivar
Jubilee) to 12 populations and four nitrogen rates was studied in a
field experiment. Populations ranged from 43, 904 to 329,800
plants/ha with nitrogen levels ranging from 0 to 224 Kg/ha. A systematic
spacing design was used. Plant height,...

Hard red winter wheat will produce grain yields comparable to soft
white winter wheat in intensively managed irrigated fields. Planting
should be early enough in the fall for the plants to initiate tillers and
crown roots before winter dormancy. Seeding about 80 pounds of seed per
acre will provide an...
