In a series of 30 winter wheat fertilizer experiments conducted in the Willamette Valley between 1963 and 1969, optimum rates of nitrogen fertilization varied from 75 to 150 pounds per acre. Fertilization with N, particularly at the-higher rates, increased the protein content of the grain.
Spring-applied N gave greater yield...
Data from fertilizer experiments with potatoes in the Willamette Valley from 1961 through 1971 show that responses have been measured from nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and lime. Responses from these nutrients have been related to soil and/or plant analysis values. In recent years most of the potato production has moved...
Laboratory soil tests will help you develop
and maintain more productive soil and
increase crop production by providing
information on the available nutrient content of
your soil. Soil testing helps you select the
correct kind and amount of fertilizer and liming
material. Recommendations are based on the
results of fertilizer...
Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, good seedbed preparation, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest. Follow recommended soil sampling procedures to estimate fertilizer needs. The Oregon...

Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, good seedbed preparation, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest. Because of the influence of soil type, climatic conditions, and other...
Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include adequate irrigation, use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest. It is important that the soil be sampled and tested as a...
Red clover is an important seed and forage crop in western Oregon. Lime, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and boron will increase yields under some western Oregon soil conditions. The need for nutrients other than sulfur can be estimated using a soil test. Red clover is best adapted to well-drained soils. Good...
