The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. Biodiesel is an appealing transportation fuel source for many reasons: it readily substitutes for petroleum diesel, it tends to burn cleaner with fewer...
Grain is produced on about 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin and 60,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, a significant shift to production of hard...
Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin, including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, acres seeded to winter wheat...
As we described previously and elsewhere in this annual report, teff (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.], Poaceae) is a warm season (C4) annual tropical grass that can produce good quality forage during a short summer time frame, and thus has the potential to be a viable crop choice when forage producers: a)...
There are times when forage producers desire a quick-growing, high quality annual forage in mid-summer in situations such as: less-than full season irrigation water supply; need for an emergency crop due to crop failure; or forage rotation crop between alfalfa stands. Currently there are few good options in these situations....

Euphorbia lagascae has been recognized as one of the more promising potential new industrial crops for temperate latitudes (Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized that E. lagascae (Spreng.), Euphorbiaceae (euphorb or spurge...
Euphorbia lagascae (Euphorbiaceae- ‘spurge family’) has been recognized as one of the more promising potential new industrial crops for the drier regions in the temperate zone
(Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized...
The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. As described in our other studies (Roseberg et al., 2007; Roseberg and Shuck, 2008a and 2008b), we have begun testing the agronomic requirements...

As the 2009 growing season comes to a close, we prepared this newsletter to provide information on several viticulture and enology issues important to the Oregon winegrape industry. We begin with the most immediate topic of this season – wine production with Dr. James Osborne and importance of wine superstars...
It’s that time of year when many of you are out and about scouting for the earliest signs of powdery mildew and implementing your vineyard spray programs throughout the state. Here’s a quick status update for powdery mildew forecasting and management.
As the 2008 growing season comes to a close, we prepared this newsletter to provide information on several research projects conducted by OSU faculty and students, address frost concerns from this fall, and showcase the OSU Viticulture & Enology undergraduate program alumni. Dr. Marcus Buchanan has a synopsis of an...
In this issue, our group of winegrape researchers throughout the state has comprised a summary of the statewide incidence and damage caused by Short Shoot Syndrome and mites over the past few years. Be sure to check this out as it provides some interesting information! Also, a vineyard update has...
Winter provides many opportunities for viticulture and enology programming across Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The vines, although dormant, need pruning and the winery operations continue. This month, we’ve decided to focus on important considerations in both the vineyard and winery. An article on pruning operations by Dr. Patty...
Beginning the 2008 Season… It appears that the spring weather we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! Bud break is commencing, a week or so later than 2007 due to cold weather in most of Western Oregon. With the advent of the growing season, this edition of the OSU Wine...
The growing season has come to an end and everyone is feverishly trying to harvest fruit before rain and/or frost, depending on the specific vineyard location throughout the state of Oregon. Here at OSU, we’ve been busy over the past few months providing programming to growers and winemakers. During August,...
The growing season is in full swing. As growers are busy doing canopy management in the vineyards and wine makers are preparing for the upcoming vintage, OSU faculty are working hard on their field research trials and extension programs to advance viticulture and enology research and education. We’ve been busy...
In taking a multidimensional approach to selected areas of the much neglected sport marriage, this article identifies and examines the survival strategies used by wives in coping with stressful occupational events in the careers of their husbands. Using a control management perspective, the idea of control work is introduced and...
