The OSU Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), co-directed by the Principal Investigators (PI's, bios included), is an Energy Systems Laboratory with operating capabilities up to 750kV A, testbeds up to 300hp, a 120kVA fully programmable source, and a bi-directional grid interface enabling regeneration back onto the grid. The MSRF was...
The potential of mechanically applied straw mulch to reduce nutrient, pesticide and sediment losses from furrow irrigated onions and increase water use efficiency was evaluated on a Nyssa silt loam with three percent slope. Nitrogen and phosphorus losses in the runoff were of particular interest, both because of their economic...
Shepody potatoes were grown under sprinkler irrigation on sloping ground (4.2 to 8.5 percent slope) with and without mechanically applied wheat straw, grass straw, or reservoir tillage. Mechanical furrow mulching used 1,000 lbs/ac of wheat straw or grass straw. Mulched, non-mulched, reservoir-tillage, and check plots were irrigated 12 times with...
Treasure spring wheat was grown on sloping ground with and without mechanically applied furrow mulching. Furrow mulching used 800 lb/ac of wheat straw. Mulched and non-mulched furrows were irrigated five times during the season receiving 483 and 19.0 and 40.9 ac-in of irrigation water, respectively. For non-mulched furrows, infiltration totaled...
Concentrations of H₂O and CO₂ in olivine-hosted melt inclusions can be used to estimate crystallization depths for the olivine host. However, the original dissolved CO₂ concentration of melt inclusions at the time of trapping can be difficult to measure directly because in many cases substantial CO₂ is transferred to shrinkage...
A Nyssa slit loam soil was bedded for potatoes. Furrow irrigation for 11 hours at four gallons per minute on a 2.5 percent slope resulted in 17.7 tons of soil lost per acre. Soil loss was reduced to 2.8 tons per acre by the use of 790 lbs/acre of wheat...
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...
