  • Impact the impact of research and training programs on the demand for grass seed in overseas markets

    Creator:
    Vega-H, Esteban
    Abstract:
    This research examines whether alternative methods of export commodity promotion and market development, such as technical training and trade servicing activities, have been successful in increasing the demand for grass seed produced in Oregon in international markets. A single equation linear input demand model and a linear model adjusted to...

  • Residue management and yield characteristics of fine fescue seed crops

    Creator:
    Schumacher, Derek David
    Abstract:
    Chewings fescue [Festuca rubra L. subsp. fallax (Thuill.) Nyman] is a desired turfgrass with dense sod forming capabilities and superior shade tolerance. Thermal residue management (open-field burning) has traditionally been used to remove post-harvest residue and maintain seed yield over the life of the stand. However, alternative non-thermal residue management...

  • Trinexapac-ethyl and open-field burning in creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) seed production in the Willamette Valley

    Creator:
    Zapiola, Maria Luz
    Abstract:
    Open-field burning has been an effective, economical, and widespread method of post-harvest residue management in creeping red fescue seed production in the Willamette Valley since the late 1940s. However, the use of field burning has been legislatively restricted due to air quality and safety issues. The foliar-applied plant growth regulator...

  • Methods to assess factors that influence grass seed yield

    Creator:
    Louhaichi, Mounir
    Abstract:
    A greater than 10-fold increase in Canada goose (Branta canadensis) populations over the past several years has resulted in concerns over grazing impacts on grass seed production in the mid-Willamette Valley, Oregon. This study was designed to develop methods to quantify and statistically analyze goose-grazing impacts on seed yields of...
