Habitat management for beneficial insects on Willamette Valley vegetable and berry farms

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Conservation biological control involves manipulating farm landscapes or management systems to enhance populations of beneficial predators of agricultural pests. Farmscaping is one aspect of conservation biological control where predators of important pests are identified, the availability on the farm landscape of resources and habitat components needed by the beneficials to...

Characterizing grapevine canopy architecture

Creator:: Navarrete, Alejandra
Abstract:: Vertically shoot positioned (VSP) training systems are common in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where deep fertile soils and high regional precipitation task growers with curbing vegetative vigor within this system. Management strategies, such as canopy hedging and cluster-zone leaf removal, are used to improve microclimate within the canopy and around the...

Germination and establishment in Willamette Valley native prairie plants

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Native plants provide many ecosystem services while also having great beauty and are a valuable component of the landscape. As use of these plants in habitat restoration, agricultural insectary plantings, and home landscapes increases so does demand for information on the basic biology of a group of species that have...

Effect of pruning and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' blackberry

Creator:: Bell, Neil (Neil Charles), 1961-
Abstract:: The effect of primocane removal and training time on yield components and cold hardiness of 'Marion' trailing blackberry was studied. In 1991, primocanes were either not cut, or cut at ground level from plants on a single occasion at one month intervals from late April to late July. Four canes...

Evaluation of botanical diversity in Oregon vineyards

Creator:: Schonenberger, Patrik M.
Abstract:: Three different ground cover management strategies were compared at the OSU research vineyard near Alpine, Oregon. Botanical diversity was actively increased in two diverse treatments. Another treatment was botanically uniform and contained creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The composition of the vineyard floor vegetation and grapevine performance as affected by the...

Effect of soil moisture manipulation and nitrogen application on leaf gas exchange, fruit composition, and carbohydrate storage of Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapevines in the Willamette Valley

Creator:: Howe, Jessica
Abstract:: This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated. This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....

Effect of crop level on yield components, fruit and wine composition, and wood carbohydrate reserves of Pinot noir grapes

Creator:: Brasher, Erik W.
Abstract:: Crop thinning trials were studied during two seasons at two locations in the northern Willamette Valley of Oregon. At Willakenzie Estate (site #1), research vines were Pinot noir clone Dijon 113 on 3309 rootstocks trained to a double Guyot. Vines were established in 1996 at a spacing of 2.5 x...

Effect of trellis type and canopy location on yield components, fruit composition, shoot morphology, leaf gas exchange, and the dynamics of storage carbohydrates in Pinot noir grapevines

Creator:: Ratliff-Peacock, Joey D.
Abstract:: Five trellis types were compared during 1996 and 1997 for their effect on Pinot noir yield components, fruit composition, fruit set, shoot morphology, leaf gas exchange, and trunk carbohydrate storage. These trellis systems were: upright vertical, cane pruned (double Guyot); upright vertical, spur pruned (bilateral cordon); Scott Henry, cane pruned;...
