Two field corn experiments were conducted on a Woodburn silt loam soil near Corvallis, Oregon, in 1972-1973 to investigate the effects of certain soil management practices on the yield and performance of corn (Zea mays L.). Experiment I involved variables that included three corn row spacings (76, 114, and 152...
The response of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. rugosa cultivar
Jubilee) to 12 populations and four nitrogen rates was studied in a
field experiment. Populations ranged from 43, 904 to 329,800
plants/ha with nitrogen levels ranging from 0 to 224 Kg/ha. A systematic
spacing design was used. Plant height,...

These studies were initiated to investigate the influence of previous
superphosphate fertilizer practices and grazing stock history on
nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur status in soils from grass-legume
pastures. Four Western Oregon soil series, Dixonville, Demint,
Winema and Josephine, were included in the study. Laboratory experiments
and greenhouse trials were conducted...
Field studies designed to study residual effects from fertilizer
molybdenum were initiated in September 1971 on established grass-clover
pastures at ten sites in Western Oregon. Treatments were 0.0
and 1.12 kg molybdenum /ha on plots receiving 0-35-0-20S fertilizer (elemental sulfur-S) and 0.0, 0.56, 1.12 and 2.24 kg molybdenum /ha on...
A growth chamber experiment was conducted to determine the
rate of S-urea mineralization and effect of S-urea on the yield of
ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) grown in Steiwer soil as influenced
by soil temperature (60, 75, and 90° F) and soil moisture stress
(0. 10, 0.35, and 2.50 bars). Plant yield,...
During the Spring of 1969, 47 surface soil samples (0 to 15 cm)
as well as foliage samples of subterranean clover were collected from
32 selected western Oregon pastures, in an effort to determine their
molybdenum status and to evaluate the use of anion exchange resin
method as a means...
