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,...
The OSU Center for Research for Lifelong STEM Learning with support from the OSU Research Office and in collaboration with OSU Outreach and Engagement, convened a “Broader Impacts Invitational Workshop” on December 7, 2012. The workshop solicited opinions and perspectives from 65 participating faculty who were broadly representative of OSU’s...
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 analysis contained in this report is a result of work conducted in October 2013 by Julie Risien and John Falk of the Center for Research on Lifelong STEM Learning located at Oregon State University. This undertaking should not be considered research, but an exercise intended to provide insights that...
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...
As the ocean wave energy field continues to mature,
developers need a generic modeling methodology to test their
designs before building prototypes. A design methodology for a
first-pass time-domain simulation is a goal of this work. Built on
results from the frequency domain analysis, the general
procedure for obtaining time...
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...
Although Oregon is the #2 snap bean producer in the US, yield of snap beans per acre is greater in Oregon than any other state (USDA NASS 2012). Despite the scale and importance of snap bean production in Oregon, almost no research has been done on phosphorus (P) utilization over...
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.
