Objective 1: Evaluation of commercial sweet corn varieties and inbred germplasm in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as root, stalk, and crown rot. Objective 2: Evaluation of microbial and chemical treatments for suppression of sweet corn seed rot/damping-off, root rot, and crown rot. Objective 3: Cooperate...
1. Rotbusters Field Survey.
Kokanee and Basin were the only varieties sampled in 2005. There was a significant relationship between radicle rot severity and gross yield for Kokanee but not for Basin.
In previous years, we have shown that for Jubilee, approximately 3 tons of gross yield are...
Summary
Irrigation effects on root rot and yield
Reducing irrigation during the first 6 weeks after planting reduced root rot of sweet corn at midseason and at harvest, consistent with findings of the past two years.
Reducing the early season irrigation level increased yield of Jubilee by 20%...
Objectives:
1. Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and improved plant architecture.
2. Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
3. Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance.
4. Develop a...
Objective: to evaluate the impacts of N availability, microbial activity, and root health on corn productivity and yield in high biomass cover crop systems
