Objectives:

1. Obtain data on the weed control efficacy and crop safety of herbicides currently registered for usein carrots.
2. Identify other herbicides not currently registered for use in carrots, which might serve as a substitute for Lorox.
3. Obtain data which could be used toward the registration of suitable herbicides.

Objectives:
To determine the production and processing potential of new introductions of supersweet corn.

Objectives:

• Improved potential for high yields at favorable sieve sizes and dependability.
• Improved straightness, texture and other quality factors.
• Develop easy picking and small pod strains of Blue Lake type.
• Resistance to white mold and root rot.

Objectives: Breed bush green beans for the western Oregon processing industry with:

• Improved potential for high yields at favorable sieve sizes and dependability
• Improved straightness, texture, and other quality factors
• Develop easy picking and small pod strains of Blue Lake type
• Resistance to white mold and root rot

Objectives:

• To utilize direct DNA mapping techniques to generate a linkage map of beans.
• To associate particular DNA fragments with quantitative traits of economic importance in order to assist targeted selection in plant improvement.
