Umatilla is the progeny of a cross between Butte and A77268-4. This Oregon selection was evaluated as AO82611-7 in numerous Oregon and western regional trials. The long, medium russetted tubers of Umatilla are well suited for processing, but lack the attractiveness to compete in the fresh market arena.

Agropyron spicatum, considered one of the most important native bunchgrasses in British Columbia, western Montana, the Columbia Basin and the area between the Cascades and Sierras and the Rockies, dominated millions of acres of pristine semiarid grass and sagebrush sites. It produced more herbage than all other associated species in...
Long-term experiments were started at Pendleton and Moro, Oregon in the 1930's to evaluate the effects of tillage, fertilizer, and residue management on crop productivity in non-irrigated semi-arid regions. Coupled with multi-year varietal improvement, rotation, and green manure studies, they define those practices which sustain soil productivity and improve crop...

Surface crusting of soil after planting can result in poor emergence and reduced stands. The use of polysaccharides and polyelectrolytes for soil conditioning has been found to improve seedling emergence. This trial evaluated the use of a molasses and nutrient based soil conditioner (Bright Sun Soil Booster, Cargill Inc., Minneapolis,...
The potential of mechanically applied straw mulch to reduce nutrient, pesticide and sediment losses from furrow irrigated onions and increase water use efficiency was evaluated on a Nyssa silt loam with three percent slope. Nitrogen and phosphorus losses in the runoff were of particular interest, both because of their economic...
The objectives of this trial were to:
1. Compare onion yield under surge irrigation with continuous flow irrigation.
2. Estimate irrigation efficiency under surge irrigation and continuous flow irrigation.
3. Compare estimates of nitrogen leaching under surge irrigation with continuous flow irrigation.
