Effect of planting method, weed management, and fertilizer on plant growth and yield of newly established organic highbush blueberries

Creator:: Larco, Handell O.
Abstract:: A 0.4 ha planting of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) was established in Oct. 2006 to evaluate the effects of cultivar (Duke and Liberty), planting method (flat versus raised beds), weed management (sawdust mulch and hand-weed control; compost plus sawdust mulch with acetic acid, flaming, and hand-weeding used as needed; and...

On-farm inquiry and assessment of tillage and cover cropping for white mold control in snap bean production

Creator:: Harrison, Elizabeth Langham.
Abstract:: Cultural practices in snap bean production were evaluated at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm Corvallis, Oregon. In addition, decision-making in snap bean production was assessed on five farms in the Coburg-Junction City-Harrisburg regions of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A field experiment with cover crop and tillage techniques was...

A Study of Urban Vegetable Garden and their Soils in Corvallis and Portland, OR

Creator:: Nelson, Michael, II
Abstract:: Urban agriculture (UA) is defined as the production of food crops or livestock within urban areas. Despite its popularity in the United States, research into UA systems suffers from a general underrepresentation of commercial urban systems. As a result, urban growers often have unique technological needs that are unmet by...

Evaluating the Attractiveness of Pacific Northwest Native Plants to Insects and Gardeners

Creator:: Anderson, Aaron G.
Abstract:: Due to a growing body of literature documenting declines in pollinator populations, there has been increased public interest in pollinator conservation. In urban and suburban landscapes, many gardeners and urban land managers are interested in gardening for pollinators, particularly bees. Simultaneously, many homeowners and municipalities are interested in other aspects...

Delay of anthesis in 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' pears (Pyrus communis) by evaporative cooling

Creator:: Collins, Margaret Dorothy
Abstract:: The influence of evaporative cooling for delay of 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' fruit bud development for frost avoidance was investigated. Two mist systems, one in a mature pear orchard and the other in a young pear hedgerow, delayed 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' bloom up to 15 and 8 days respectively. A low...

Comparison of baits for monitoring the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Kleiber, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe...

Weed suppression in vegetables with residues of 'micah' barley (Horedeum vulgare L.) and other spring cereals

Creator:: Chongwe, Edgar Happy
Abstract:: Three experiments whose objectives were to investigate cover crop kill by winter freeze, weed suppression by 'Micah' barley and other spring cereals, and allelopathic potential of cereal covers were conducted at the Vegetable Research Farm and in the greenhouse and growth chamber facilities at OSU in 1989/90. Kill by winter...

Low Maintenance Strategies and Challenges within Oregon School Landscapes

Creator:: Gould, Micah A.
Abstract:: Ornamental landscapes require considerable amounts of inputs, including but not limited to irrigation, mowing or pruning, fertilization, and pest management. However, school systems have limited budgets, which reduce their access to resources and labor hours. Therefore, the objective of this project is to identify ground covers that can compete with...

Organic Blueberry Production Systems – Grower Practices and Impact on Plant Nutrient Concentration, Content, and Biomass

Creator:: Fernandez Salvador, Javier A.
Abstract:: The certified organic blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) market has continued to expand in the last two decades, including in Oregon. The development of an industry-public research coalition has fostered expansion. In 2015, a survey consisting of on-site, in-person interviews with certified and transitional organic growers in Oregon found the majority of...
