From July 16 to 20, 2007, international partners in a trans- Atlantic workshop series on coastal mapping and informatics, held a workshop on the campus of Oregon State University entitled “Coastal Atlas Interoperability.” The workshop engaged 27 participants from 6 countries, representing 17 organizations and multiple areas of scientific and...
Soybeans were grown in hydroponic solutions and in perlite to
devise procedures to measure plant mineral accumulation and
solution depletion over time. Electron emission spectrometry and
micro-Kjeldahl-autoanalyzer analytic techniques were used to
monitor mineral content of individual plants and their corresponding
solutions. An automated computer assisted system of converting
raw...
This study evaluated the influence of cattle stocking density on botanical composition of diet, diet preference, and cattle performance on the Zumwalt Prairie in Northeastern Oregon. In each of two years, 192 cow-calf pairs (549.27 kg, BCS = 4.89) and 48 yearling heifers (383.34 kg, BCS = 5.02) were stratified...
Five nutritional aspects of 'Valencia' orange production in Agadir, Morocco
during 1989-1991 were evaluated: 1) the effect of N and K on yield and fruit
quality, 2) leaf sampling time and diagnostic approaches to optimize mineral
nutrition, 3) mass and mineral partitioning within individual trees, 4) K-Rb
relationships, and 5)...
Most conventional approaches to rating turf color for different turf varieties grown
under similar conditions or for the same variety grown under different cultural conditions
employ a visual subjective rating. By digitizing remotely sensed images acquired by use
of a helium filled blimp and a Canon EOS camera, we were...
The dynamics of N was studied in field grown Comice/Provence
quince BA29 pears in Medford, Oregon. Total tree biomass, N content,
and ¹⁵N evaluations suggest that young pears require little N (48 kg
N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). About 45% of total tree N present in dormant trees was
remobilized into new...
