Creator:: Chongwe, Edgar Happy
Abstract:: Three experiments whose objectives were to investigate cover crop kill by winter freeze, weed suppression by 'Micah' barley and other spring cereals, and allelopathic potential of cereal covers were conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm and in the greenhouse and growth chamber facilities at OSU in 1989/90. Kill by winter...

Abstract:: The study was conducted in an organic trailing blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus, Watson) planting established at the North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora, OR on 26 May 2010. Three weed management systems were compared for 'Marion' and 'Black Diamond': 1) non-weeded; 2) hand-hoed two to three times...

Creator:: Green, Jessica M.
Abstract:: Weed management in sustainable farming systems often requires the integration of several different pest management techniques. Cultural, biological, and chemical pest control efforts can be utilized to contribute to the common goal of reducing weeds in vegetable row crop systems. This research addresses how common disturbances such as tillage and...

Creator:: Dixon, Emily K.
Abstract:: There is limited information available on production of trailing blackberry, particularly certified organic plantings, which are of interest to growers as there is increased consumer demand and a price premium over conventionally-produced fruit. Various production strategies were evaluated for their effect on yield, biomass production, carbon (C), and nutrient concentrations...

Creator:: Fredrikson, Levi
Abstract:: Five vineyard floor management treatments were evaluated in a young vineyard in western Oregon to better understand the effects on vine growth and nutrition, soil moisture dynamics, and weed control during 2009 and 2010. Treatments included two mulched treatments where mowed alleyway residue was transferred in-row at rates of 1x...

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Conservation biological control involves manipulating farm landscapes or management systems to enhance populations of beneficial predators of agricultural pests. Farmscaping is one aspect of conservation biological control where predators of important pests are identified, the availability on the farm landscape of resources and habitat components needed by the beneficials to...
