The Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission (OPVC) is one of twenty-three commodity commissions that fall under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). In 2020, the OPVC was successfully awarded a 3-year grant under the FDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) to conduct ‘Market Research and Development to...
Approximately 900 lines were evaluated, from which 351 lines (337 experimental and 14 named cultivars) were then genotyped. The lines that were retained were planted in the field in 2021 at the Vegetable Research Farm and DNA was extracted from developing leaves. The DNA was quantified, adjusted for concentration and...
Consumer sensory evaluations were conducted with Oregon consumers to asses perceived quality in processed frozen vegetables vs. their fresh counterparts. 108 consumers were tested at an Oregon farmstand to investigate consumer preference for fresh vs. frozen select processed vegetables in appearance, aroma, color, overall liking, flavor, texture; to probe the...
Sweet corn and snap bean production, amongst other vegetable crops grown in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, are impacted by soilborne diseases caused by Fusarium species. The decline in sweet corn yields due to Fusarium crown and stalk node rot as well as root rot in snap bean and sweet...
With the hot summers of recent years causing significant heat damage to broccoli heads within the Willamette valley, varietal screenings for newer and more heat tolerant varieties became necessary. Most commercially available broccoli varieties are bred for production within milder and more climatically stable regions, such as the Salinas Valley...
The Ni-les’tun tidal wetland restoration project in the Coquille River Estuary in southern Oregon is one of the largest and most well-studied tidal restoration projects on the Pacific Northwest coast. However, ecological data on restoration effectiveness and ecosystem change following restoration are relatively rare for projects more than a few...
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for processing raw data measured by chipod and GusT turbulence sensors. These instruments are designed and manufactured by the Ocean Mixing Group in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
In Spring 2019, a library team was asked to conduct this Core Trust Seal self-assessment for the ScholarsArchive@OSU institutional repository in order to determine whether the repository could achieve certification as a trusted digital repository.
The SLICES framework is intended for use in making decisions about conservation and restoration in the Willamette River floodplain. It makes use of distinct spatial units, called slices, for planning and tracking change in the floodplain. The Conservation 2050 – Channel Complexity and Floodplain Forest Technical Report describes the source...
