Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum) is a common weed management problem in turfgrasses, cereals and non-crop areas in the United States. In Oregon, the number of populations with multiple-resistance continues to increase. To manage these resistant populations, the resistance patterns must be determined. In this study, five Italian ryegrass...
Managing Microdochium patch on intensively manicured annual bluegrass putting greens is a challenge for turfgrass professionals in cool-humid climates similar to the Pacific Northwest. Fungicides are the predominant means to mitigate damage caused by this fungal pathogen, however pesticide restrictions are making it even more challenging to suppress Microdochium patch....
Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. spp. multiflorum (Lam.) Husnot) is one of the most troublesome weeds with respect to herbicide resistance selection. Some reasons for this are the numerous documented cases of multiple and cross herbicide resistance and some of the biological characteristics of this species, such as wind cross-pollination...

The Pacific Northwest is an internationally important region for the production of Brassica seed and other seed crops including grass seed. Oregon lawmakers mandated research into the co-existence of canola (Brassica napus) with other Brassica production in the Willamette Valley and House Bill 2427 was signed into law in 2013,...
Over the decades, worker performance on construction projects has been a significant source of concern to be evaluated. Comprehensive studies have developed models for evaluating worker performance outside of the construction industry; however, minimal research has been conducted to evaluate worker performance in the construction industry. One of the reasons...
Pasture legumes that persist under challenging agro-ecological conditions are crucial to ensure high lamb growth rates in dryland pastures. Pasture and lamb production from white clover (TF-Whc), birdsfoot trefoil (TF-Bft), balansa clover (TF-Bc) and subterranean clover (TF-Sc) planted with tall fescue either as binary mixtures or as a diverse combination...
Members of the family Sciomyzidae, known as snail-killing or marsh flies, are unique amongst insects in that the vast majority of reared species feed exclusively on mollusks and as a result their biological control potential has been well documented in the scientific literature. However, in North America there is a...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a widely grown cool season, bunch type, short lived perennial grass that is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, but has been adapted globally. Perennial ryegrass is quick to establish, has a long growing season, and produces high seed yield and forage or...
In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, a combination of the need for rotational crops and an increased desire for biofuel production created interest in planting Brassica napus (canola). However, questions were raised arisen over the potential damage canola production could have on the preexisting Brassica vegetable seed industry. To address...
Mayweed chamomile (Anthemis cotula L.) is an annual weed in the Asteraceae family that is commonly found in fields of the Pacific Northwest. Acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides are frequently used to control a broad spectrum of weed species including mayweed chamomile. Seeds of four biotypes of mayweed chamomile (KJ, KL1,...
