Creator:: Howe, Jessica
Abstract:: This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated. This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....

Creator:: Brasher, Erik W.
Abstract:: Crop thinning trials were studied during two seasons at two locations in the northern Willamette Valley of Oregon. At Willakenzie Estate (site #1), research vines were Pinot noir clone Dijon 113 on 3309 rootstocks trained to a double Guyot. Vines were established in 1996 at a spacing of 2.5 x...

Creator:: Sweet, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: It is estimated that 50-75% of Oregon vineyards cultivate at least every other alley in order to 1) reduce water stress 2) increase vineyard canopy temperatures and 3) increase nutrient availability. Because many vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, frequent tillage could result in increased soil erosion, decreased soil quality...

Creator:: Miyazoe, Mikio
Abstract:: Root rot of sweet corn in western Oregon and Washington is a significant disease that can reduce yield of intolerant cultivars of processed sweet corn by fifty percent. Root rot is caused by a complex of soilborne organisms, including Drechslera sp., Phoma terrestris, and Pythium arrhenomanes. Processors have adopted tolerant...

Creator:: Sampaio, Tiago Luís Barros
Abstract:: A rootstock trial was established in 1997 at the OSU Woodhall vineyard, located in the Southern Willamette Valley, which included two experiments. The first experiment was a factorial of four varieties grafted on to 9 rootstocks, and also as ungrafted vines (a split-plot design). The second experiment was a randomized...

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

Creator:: Roche, M. Margaret
Abstract:: The bacterium Pseudomonas syringae affects different crops worldwide. In the Willamette Valley of Oregon, P. syringae causes bacterial canker in sweet cherry, severely limiting its production. High grafting of susceptible sweet cherry cultivars to resistant rootstocks is practiced in the Willamette Valley to reduce incidence of this disease. The research...
