Objective:

1. Evaluate the effectiveness of non registered chemicals (Bayleton, Folicur) and registered chemical (Sulfur) for the control of Rust, Leaf Spot, and Mildew in Table Beets (Uromyces betae, Cercospora beticola, Peronospora schachtii, and Erysiphe polygoni.)

Objective:

1. The effects of seed class and seed density on supersweet corn plant stand, plant development, and yield were examined using a single lot of Crisp 'N Sweet 710. Seed class and seed density can be controlled in packaging supersweet corn seed and could provide a means to more reliable plant stand establishment.

OBJECTIVES:

Objectives: The basic objective of the processing component of this research is to support the green bean breeding program being carried out by Dr. Jim Baggett in the Horticulture Department. The specific objectives are:

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
