Water related ecosystem services (WES), such as flow regulation, drinking water supply, temperature regulation, and water recreational activities, are affected by anthropogenic climate change. Forecasting potential shifts in such WES is critical to identifying the form and magnitude of likely impacts. We quantified the levels and values of WES under...
Climate change due to global warming could induce more frequent droughts in the Willamette River Basin because less snowfall in winter and earlier snowmelt due to temperature increase may lead to decreases in spring and summer streamflow. This study examines possible changes in drought risk using two drought indices, Standardized...
Spatial patterns of summer streamflow in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon vary dramatically between the geologically distinct High and Western Cascade regions. A key control is the partitioning of water input between a fast-draining shallow subsurface flow network (Western Cascades) versus a slow-draining deeper groundwater system (High Cascades). These differences...

Planting date/cultivar evaluation: Thirty-six sweet corn cultivars were evaluated for resistance to natural infection by common smut (Table 1). Plots were seeded to 30,800 plants/acre on May 16 and Jun 23 on the Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center on Adkins fine sandy loam (pH 6.7, 0.9% organic matter). The...
The objectives of this project were to evaluate the efficacy of common row crop herbicides for control of puncturevine, and determine the effect of post harvest weed management strategies on hairy nightshade seed development.
Summary
Irrigation effects on root rot and yield
Reducing irrigation during the first 6 weeks after planting reduced root rot of sweet corn at midseason and at harvest, consistent with findings of the past two years.
Reducing the early season irrigation level increased yield of Jubilee by 20%...
Weed management is a continual challenge to Oregon table beet growers. Research over the last several years has documented that s-metolachlor (Dual Magnum) will substantially improve weed control and crop yields when applied alone or in concert with other registered herbicides such as Roneet and Pyramin, with the potential to...
Part 1: Bean mold project: What is an effective alternative to Ronilan for control of gray and white mold in snap beans when mold pressure is severe? When can we use a less expensive single fungicide application without putting the bean crop at significant risk?
Part 2: 12 Spot Beetle...

The VegNet regional pest monitoring program sponsored by the Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission has been fruitful.The program has, on occasion,saved growers money by providing
growers and agricultural professionals with early warnings
of insect pest outbreaks. The combination of regional pest
monitoring plus field scouting has allowed growers, in some cases,...
