Effects of Novel Sulfur Applications for pH Management of Calcareous Soil in a New Planting of Organically Grown Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Gregory, Alexander D.
Abstract:: Organically certified Northern Highbush Blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production in the Columbia Basin region of Oregon and Washington is expanding. Soils in the region are typically calcareous and highly alkaline, often requiring pH adjustment to an ideal range of 4.5–5.5 to support the establishment of the acid-loving, ericaceous crop....

Evaluating Alternative Soil Amendments for Organic Northern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Sub-Optimal Soils

Creator:: Retano, Andrea
Abstract:: Escalating demand for organic blueberries has driven a significant expansion of northern highbush blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production area. This expansion is particularly pronounced in regions of the Pacific Northwest where native soil conditions are sub-optimal for NHB, notably east of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington,...

Weeds With a Purpose: Interseeding Cover Crops into Sweet Corn in Western Oregon

Creator:: Donaldson, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Cover crop establishment in late-season crops, like sweet corn, may be difficult due to the relatively short operational window following crop harvest. In regions like western Oregon, where fall-precipitation can occur when the crop is still in the field, cover crops may not be able to be planted, due to...

Pressure trunk injections of potassium as a possible short term corrective measure for potassium deficiency in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) and prune (Prunus domestica L.)

Creator:: Robbins, Scott Hill
Abstract:: The effect of pressure trunk injections of K₂HPO₄, and K₂SO₄. solutions on the mineral content, growth, yield and fruit quality of sweet cherry and mineral content of prune were investigated. A complimentary study presented in Appendix 1, was conducted to evaluate the short term effectiveness of K soil amendments, mulching...

Relationships between endogenous phenolic compounds of rhododendron tissues and organs and cold hardiness development

Creator:: Chalker-Scott, Linda
Abstract:: The leaching of water soluble phenolic compounds from cold stressed Rhododendron leaves was found to be a reliable indicator of tissue damage. In sublethally stressed leaf tissues, more and novel phenolic compounds appeared and were hypothesized to be precursors of cell wall components such as lignin and suberin. Subsequent radiolabeling...

Sugar transport in strawberry fruit : uptake competition and developmental changes in invertase levels

Creator:: Scott, James Douglas
Abstract:: Mechanisms by which plant organs accumulate photoassimilate are important in determining final sink size and may involve invertase activity. Because strawberry fruit are strong sinks for sugars, changes in invertase levels during development and mechanisms of sugar uptake within the fruit were examined. Fruit from greenhouse-grown, day-neutral strawberries, (Fragaria X...

Water management tools and irrigation strategies for blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry production in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Effects of Biochar and Nitrogen-Enriched Soil Amendments on Plant Growth, Mineral Nutrition, and Early Fruit Production in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.)

Creator:: Sales, Bryan K.
Abstract:: The goal of the work in this dissertation was to identify alternative soil amendments to improve plant growth and yield during establishment of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid). Woody materials, such as sawdust and wood chips, have a high carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and low water holding capacity, which can...

Development of Viticultural Practices to Improve Winegrape Performance Experiment I: Effect of Trellis Type and Canopy Location on Yield Components, Fruit Composition, Fruit Set, and Shoot Morphology in Pinot noir Grapevines [1997-1998]

Creator:: Ratliff-Peacock, Joey and Candolfi-Vasconcelos, M. Carmo
Abstract:: Five different trellis and training systems were compared in their effect on yield components, fruit composition, fruit set, and shoot morphology in Pinot noir grapevines in 1996 and 1997. This trial was performed on established vines planted on a low-vigor valley floor site, in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The...
