Since its inception in 1985, the Tri-State variety development program has primarily focused on the development of processing and dual-purpose (process and fresh) russets. Recent breeding efforts have focused more on improving genetic resistance to various pests and diseases as a means of lowering production costs. During the past decade,...
Results from vegetation management trials involving horticultural crops conducted during the past year are compiled and reported by faculty members of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, the Oregon State Extension Service, and colleagues who cooperated from adjacent states along with local enterprises. This work was conducted throughout Oregon and involved...
Climate Change in the Northwest: Implications for Our Landscapes, Waters, and Communities is a report aimed at assessing the state of knowledge about key climate impacts and consequences to various sectors and communities in the Northwest United States. This report draws on two recent state climate assessments in Washington in...
The ultimate goals of this project are to 1) provide farmers with data-based advice on maintenance and enhancement of habitat for native wildlife based on what species are using the remnant/unfarmed patches on producers farms and to 2) provide background knowledge and data to enable development of a larger project...
The objectives were to evaluate crop safety and weed control with Reflex (fomesafen) applied to snap beans and Reflex and Spartan to edamame. Reflex caused very little injury to snap beans at two sites when applied PRE and only minor injury when applied EPOST. Tank mixes with Dual Magnum were...
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, affects all species of the Crucifer family, including wild mustard. It is a fungus-like microorganism that can persist in soil in the form of durable resting spores for 18 years or longer after an infected crop. These resting spores can be spread through any means...
Weed interference is a major, ongoing pest problem in sweet corn and a diverse community of weeds persists until harvest in most fields. Impact herbicide was used for the first time in 2006 with great success, and a registration for Laudis was granted in November of 2007. These registrations have...
The objective of this research was to determine best use patterns for Upbeet herbicide considering factors of preemergence herbicide and cultivation, and how these affect optimum timing for Upbeet applied with or without Spin-Aid for control of weeds such as nightshade and lambsquarters.
