  • Trinexapac-ethyl timing and rate effects on crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed yield and seed yield components

    Creator:
    Morad, Mohammed
    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...

  • Standing in the Way of Control : Small Farmers, Water Use, and Technology Adoption in Oregon

    Creator:
    Hepperly, Jody R.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, several interrelated forces—prolonged drought, growing populations, height-ened environmental protections, sustained agricultural use, and hydrologic alterations due to climate change—have increased pressure on water users in the Western United States, where the agricultural sector accounts for up to 90% of total water withdrawals. Technology im-provements developed since the...

  • Sediment Pulse Behavior in Gravel-bedded Rivers

    Creator:
    Pace, Kylie M.
    Abstract:
    As dams approach the end of their useful life, there is need to predict where and how accumulated sediment will move following their removal to estimate impacts on aquatic habitat and infrastructure. Flume studies suggest that sediment pulses disperse in place for most dams, but it is hypothesized that a...
