Sweet Corn Variety Evaluation
Objectives:
To determine the production and processing potential of new introductions of sweet corn.
Variety trials
Supersweet and Sweet Corn Variety Evaluations
Clint Shock, Erik Feibert, Greg Willison and Monty Saunders
Malheur Experiment Station
Oregon State University
Ontario, Oregon, 1996
Objectives:
Sweet corn and supersweet corn varieties were evaluated for agronomic and processing performance.
Identification of Sweet Corn Hybrids for Sustainable Production
Objective: Identify sweet corn hybrids with suitable processing quality that have high, stable yields and tolerance to root rot disease complex.
Root Rot of Sweet Corn in the Willamette Valley
Root rot of sweet corn is an important disease of sweet corn in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, first diagnosed in the 1990's. Root rot is caused by a disease complex including Pythium arrhenomanes, Phoma terrestris, and Drechslera spp. Severe root rot was shown to reduce yield in Golden Jubilee by as much as 3 T/A and Super Sweet Jubilee by 1.5 T/A. Root rot also impacts crop quality by reducing ear fill and dimpling corn kernels.
Cultivar Evaluation for Control of Common Smut in Sweet Corn in the Columbia Basin (2010)
Twenty-two sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by common smut. Four cultivars (Jubilee, Krispy King, Summer Sweet 610, and Supersweet Jubilee) have been included in all 12 years of these evaluations to gauge the relative severity of smut pressure over that time and in each trial season.
Identification of High-Yielding, Root Rot Tolerant Sweet Corn Hybrids
Objective: Identify sweet corn hybrids with suitable processing quality that have high, stable yields and tolerance to root rot disease complex.

Green Bean Breeding and Evaluation
Objective: Breed improved Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with:
a. White and gray mold resistance
b. Improved plant architecture
c. High economic yield
d. Improved pod quality (including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and delayed seed size devel-opment)
e. Tolerance to abiotic stresses
Improve seed quality of materials in the breeding program to provide greater re-sistance to mechanical injury and low germination issues.
