Pastures consisting of mixtures of subclover (Trifolium
subterraneum) and grasses have responded to sulfur fertilization
on many sites in Douglas County, Oregon. The objectives of this
study were to examine specific changes in forage quality which occur
as sulfur is applied in excess of the amount required for maximum
yield...
Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) fertilization
trials with Stephens winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were
conducted on the Columbia Plateau under minimum and no tillage
conditions. The crop rotation was either wheat-summer fallow
(summer fallow) or wheat-wheat (recrop).
Nitrogen variables included: N rates, N timing, and N
source...
Reduction of pocket gopher damage to conifer seedlings is important to successful reforestation in many regions of the Pacific
Northwest. The objective of this study was to determine the factors that influence the local distribution of the northern pocket gopher (Thomomys talpoides Richardson) in a forested region of south-central Oregon....
The application of lime to an acid Nekia soil significantly
increased the yield of winter wheat and alfalfa in a field experiment.
Crop yields maximized when the lime was partially mixed into the surface
four inches of the soil. Thorough mixing of the lime into the
surface six inches of...
A study, consisting of two sequential greenhouse experiments, was
designed to determine the effects of soil liming upon the fungal
partner in a mycorrhizal association. A Willamette Valley foothill
soil, of the Jory series, was limed in increments to achieve a range
of acidity and alkalinity. The P-deficiency and P-fixing...
To abstract the fundamental market structures of stumpage sold from the Siuslaw National Forest, a three-equation structural model with different assumptions on private cut was empirically derived. Under the private cut price-fixed assumption, the structural model can be simplified as a single-equation model with stumpage price as dependent variable and...
