Incinerated sewage sludge use as a soil amendment for sweet corn (Zea mays L.)

Creator:: Mellbye, Mark Edward
Abstract:: Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the suitability of using incinerated sewage sludge ash as a soil amendment for sweet corn production on Willamette silt loam. In 1977, field plots were treated with 0, 11, 22, and 43 mt/ha of ash containing lime, in factorial combination with a...

Suitability of diverse composts as soil amendments for highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Costello, Ryan C.
Abstract:: Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is adapted to soils with high organic matter and acidic pH. Composts provide organic matter and nutrients for growing blueberry in mineral soils, but many composts are high in pH and soluble salts. Acidification with elemental sulfur (S°) can remedy high pH, but the process...

Soil Development and Organic Carbon Stocks Across a Lithosequence in the Perhumid Coastal Temperate Rainforests of Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Fedenko, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: The perhumid coastal temperate rainforests of southeast Alaska contain an abundance of soil organic carbon (SOC) that has accumulated in a wet, cool climate where forest fire disturbance is minimal and organic matter decomposition rates are low. Coastal temperate rainforests are supported by carbon-rich soils that provide ecosystem services including...

Estimating Lime Requirement for Oregon Soils with Non-Hazardous Soil Test Methods

Creator:: Makepeace, Carl A.
Abstract:: Various soil tests are routinely used in the United States to predict soil lime requirement. New non-hazardous methods have recently been proposed for adoption in Oregon, however the accuracy of these methods for Oregon soils has not been established. The objectives of this investigation were: (a) to document and describe...

Hydrological parameters affecting overland flow in an agricultural watershed

Creator:: Lowery, Birl
Abstract:: Surface and subsurface hydrological parameters affecting overland flow from cultivated land were studied in three small sub-watersheds located in the western foothills of the Willamette Valley. The sub-watersheds, which ranged in size from 0.46 to 6.0-ha, were fall-planted to grass or small grain. The parameters studied were infiltration, rainfall, runoff...

Diffusion and surface reaction processes of absorption on surfaces of soil particles in unsaturated soils

Creator:: Yingjajaval, Suntaree
Abstract:: At present the adsorption kinetic of ions by soil particles is considered to be a surface reaction. When the transport of solutes in soils is described using the one-dimensional flow equation, it becomes a serious problem that lateral diffusion of ions from the bulk solution towards the soil surfaces is...

Phosphorus characterization in Sri Lankan Alfisols : Soprition, fractions, plant availability and soil test suitablitiy

Creator:: Sattell, Robert R.
Abstract:: Twelve Sri Lankan Alfisols were characterized for P. Soils were incubated for three weeks with sufficient P applied (P2) to elevate soil solution P to 0.2 ug P/g solution as determined by sorption curves, with 75 percent of P2 (P1), and without P (P0). For PO treatments, (a) organic P,...

Genesis of some soils in the central western Cascades of Oregon

Creator:: Brown, R. B.
Abstract:: Soils representative of several landscape units in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Western Cascade Range, were sampled, analyzed, and tentatively classified. Genetic inferences were drawn relating soils to landscape position and other factors of soil formation. Descriptive information and nutrient capital data were provided to support ecosystem modelling efforts...

Relationships among phosphorus soil tests, forms of soil phosphorus, and plant uptake of phosphorus for selected southwestern Oregon soils

Creator:: Doerge, Thomas A.
Abstract:: A diversity in climate, geologic parent material, and soil characteristics exist in Jackson, Josephine, Coos, and Douglas Counties of southwest Oregon. Previous field trials and soil testing results have revealed uncertainties as to the phosphorus (P) status of the soils in this area. Twenty-four sites from nine agriculturally significant soil...
