Abstract:: Summer drought is a major factor limiting the regrowth of perennial ryegrass seed crops. This phase of crop development has a strong influence on seed yield because most of the tillers that contribute towards next season's seed crop are produced or regrown during this period. In recent years many seed...

Abstract:: Tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.] is an important forage and turf grass seed crop in Oregon. Use of the stem-shortening plant growth regulator (PGR) trinexapac-ethyl (TE) has gained broad acceptance by tall fescue seed producers in Oregon and elsewhere world-wide as an economical agent of seed yield enhancement through...

Abstract:: Oregon is the world’s leading producer of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed. Recent research has reported that seed yield has been increased in cool-season grass and red clover (T. pratense L.) seed crops with the application of trinexapac-ethyl, a gibberellic acid biosynthesis inhibiting plant growth regulator (PGR) and lodging-control...

Abstract:: Limited information is available on the effects of applied spring nitrogen (N) and cultivar on winter canola (Brassica napus L.) production in high-rainfall environments. The objectives of this investigation were: (i) to determine the effects of spring N and winter canola cultivars on seed and oil production characteristics, and (ii)...

Creator:: Anderson, Nicole P.
Abstract:: One important cool-season perennial grass seed crop grown in Oregon is fine fescue (Festuca rubra L.). Open-field burning has been used for many decades to manage pests, cycle nutrients, and stabilize yield, in fine fescue seed fields, especially as stands age. Legislative restrictions currently limit open-field burning to 6,070 hectares...
