Objective:

Objective: Identify sweet corn hybrids released for the processing market for high and stable yields under heavy and light root rot pressure.

The general objective of the processing component of this research is to support the vegetable processing industry in the Willamette Valley by evaluating green beans developed in Jim Myers' bredding program in OSU's Horticulture Department.

Objective: The objective of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the fungicide, Omega (fluazinam), in controlling Club Root fungus, (Plasmodiophora brassicae) in broccoli and cauliflower when applied preplant incorporated or as a transplanting drench.
