Nitrogen available to winter wheat as influenced by previous crop in a moist xeric environment

Creator:: Qureshi, Maqsood Hassan
Abstract:: Rotating wheat with other crops is a common practice in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Depending upon previous crop and soil type, current N fertilizer recommendations for wheat in the Willamette Valley vary widely. Excessive fertilizer poses environmental risk, whereas lower N inputs than required by the crop represent...

Applied nitrogen effects on yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) production in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: DuVal, Alyssa Susan
Abstract:: Nitrogen management recommendations for yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) production in the high rainfall environment of Oregon's Willamette Valley (WV) are not available. The objectives of this investigation were: (i) to determine the effect of applied nitrogen (N) on seed yield and yield components in yellow mustard, and (ii) to...

Effects of ryegrass residue management on Dayton soil organic carbon content, distribution and related properties

Creator:: Chapin, Michele F.
Abstract:: Total organic carbon, total nitrogen, microbial respiration and enzyme activity (β-glucosidase) were measured on several horizons of a Dayton silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic, Typic Albaqualf) soil cropped to annual ryegrass under two straw residue management systems. The study evaluated the effects of annual burning of straw residues or annual...

Geochemical characteristics of iron-manganese nodules in seasonally-saturated soils of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Seter, Lisa M.
Abstract:: This study was initiated to characterize the distribution of Fe-Mn nodules and to elucidate trends of Fe, Mn, and P relative to the intensity of the annual cycles of reduction and oxidation. Nodules were enriched in Fe, Mn, and P relative to the soil matrix making them an integral part...

Soil quality dynamics in an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable agroecosystem

Creator:: Banners, Candace R.
Abstract:: Soil response and function were investigated following the adoption of an integrated reduced-tillage and cover-cropped vegetable system in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon. The experiment was conducted over three cropping seasons (2002-2004) at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm (Corvallis, OR). The design was a randomized complete-block with...

Determinants of microbial community structure and substrate utilization potential in soils of vegetable cropping systems

Creator:: Schutter, Mary E.
Abstract:: The Oregon Long-Term Soil Quality Project was initiated to identify soil properties that respond rapidly to alternative management practices. Such practices included winter cover cropping, which was implemented at two experimental research stations and several grower fields throughout the Willamette Valley. The goal of this thesis was to identify the...

Aggregation, bulk density, compaction, and water intake responses to winter cover cropping in Willamette Valley vegetable production

Creator:: Buller, Gilbert L.
Abstract:: Many agricultural sustainability issues are related to biological processes which are central to the ecological function of soils. Soil physical properties are the architecture in which these processes are carried out. Cover crops hold promise as one of the techniques which can ameliorate poor soil structure and improve bulk density...

Residue management and yield characteristics of fine fescue seed crops

Creator:: Schumacher, Derek David
Abstract:: Chewings fescue [Festuca rubra L. subsp. fallax (Thuill.) Nyman] is a desired turfgrass with dense sod forming capabilities and superior shade tolerance. Thermal residue management (open-field burning) has traditionally been used to remove post-harvest residue and maintain seed yield over the life of the stand. However, alternative non-thermal residue management...

Spring irrigation management of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) seed crops

Creator:: Orthel, Krista D.
Abstract:: Later maturing cultivars and increased ability to apply irrigation have led to inquiries by producers about proper irrigation management in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) seed crops. The literature reveals little information about irrigation of perennial grass seed crops in general, and none about tall fescue in particular. Willamette Valley...
