Vineyard managers must decide on the timing and amount of irrigation. In Oregon the need for irrigation differs greatly year to year and field to field based on micro climate, soil, root development, plant health, and root stock. We suggest the use of leaf water potential as a useful management...
The Willamette valley has grown to be an important source of high quality grapes for the production of wine. These grapes are a very high value crop that has proven to be profitable in this region. Irrigation of this crop has been limited largely to the establishment stage, with most...
Objectives of Proposed Research:
The goals of this project for the next few years are: 1) to develop optimal tissue nutrient levels for N, P, and K in winegrapes that are based on physiological performance and fruit quality, 2) to identify the best tissue (leaf vs. petiole) and time of...
Summary
Irrigation effects on root rot and yield
Reducing irrigation during the first 6 weeks after planting reduced root rot of sweet corn at midseason and at harvest, consistent with findings of the past two years.
Reducing the early season irrigation level increased yield of Jubilee by 20%...
Objectives: to determine the impact of
1.fall Contans applications on Coniothyrium minitans (Cm) infection and survival of sclerotia left on the soil surface through the winter and summer
2.the impact of summer irrigation and burial on sclerotial survival and infection with Cm and other fungi
