Abstract:: The following report includes information concerning unregistered use of pesticides. Experimental results should not be interpreted as recommendations for use. Use of unregistered materials or use of any registered pesticide inconsistent with its label is against both Federal Law and State Law.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Shock, Clint C., Feibert, Erik, Saunders, Monty, Wimpy, Sally, Cox, Hillary, Oregon State University. Malheur Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: 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,...

Abstract:: Polyacrylamide and straw mulch were used to reduce soil erosion on furrow irrigated potatoes. The PAM rate started out at 1 lb/ac per irrigation, then in the second irrigation of the wheel rows the rate was reduced to 0.2 lb/ac. The rate was increased to 0.5 lb/ac for all subsequent...

Abstract:: Treasure spring wheat was grown on sloping ground with and without mechanically applied furrow mulching. Furrow mulching used 800 lb/ac of wheat straw. Mulched and non-mulched furrows were irrigated five times during the season receiving 483 and 19.0 and 40.9 ac-in of irrigation water, respectively. For non-mulched furrows, infiltration totaled...

Creator:: Hobson, Joe H., Jensen, Lynn, Langley, Keith, Shock, Clinton C., Stieber, Timothy D., Thornton, Mike, Jensen, Tirsa, Oregon State University. Malheur Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: Shepody potatoes were grown under sprinkler irrigation on sloping ground (4.2 to 8.5 percent slope) with and without mechanically applied wheat straw, grass straw, or reservoir tillage. Mechanical furrow mulching used 1,000 lbs/ac of wheat straw or grass straw. Mulched, non-mulched, reservoir-tillage, and check plots were irrigated 12 times with...

Creator:: Shock, Clinton C., Hobson, Joe H., Banner, Jennifer, Saunders, Lamont D., Stieber, Timothy D., Oregon State University. Malheur Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: Treasure spring wheat was grown using conventional furrow irrigation and surge irrigation on 12 one-half-acre plots. Both systems were operated simultaneously five times during the season. Conventional irrigation applied 24.7 ac-in of water with runoff of 5.6 ac-in and infiltration of 19.1 ac-in. Surge irrigation applied 12.0 ac-in with 1.7...

Creator:: Miller, J. G., Shock, Clinton C., Stieber, Timothy D., Saunders, Lamont D., Oregon State University. Malheur Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: Surge irrigation of furrow-irrigated spring wheat was investigated at the Malheur Experiment Station in 1991. The project studied the feasibility of implementing surge as an irrigation management method for increasing irrigation efficiency and reducing deep percolation of irrigation water from furrow-irrigated fields in Malheur County. Surge irrigation is a process...

Abstract:: Stephens winter wheat was grown using conventional furrow irrigation and surge irrigation on 12 one-half-acre plots. Both systems were operated simultaneously four times during the season. Conventional irrigation applied 26.5 ac-in/ac of water with runoff of 0.8 ac-in/ac and infiltration of 25.7 ac-in/ac. Surge irrigation applied 13.7 ac-in/ac with 0.5...

Creator:: Miller, John, Shock, Clinton C., Oregon State University. Malheur Experiment Station, and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station
Abstract:: 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.
