The following taxonomic keys are adapted in part from the subgeneric and species descriptions and keys produced by McGinley (2003), Gibbs et al. (2013) and Gardner and Gibbs (2022). Additional identification information was provided by Jason Gibbs, Thilina Hettiarachchi (University of Manitoba), and Joel Gardner (Washington State University). While these...
The goals of this work are to a) understand community perspectives related to public engagement with science and the Luquillo Long Term Ecological Research (LUQ-LTER) program, b) enhance existing relationships within these communities, and c) illuminate opportunities for establishing new relationships between the LUQ-LTER program and its surrounding community. We...
The end of the European phase of the war lessens somewhat the demands on the military for food in one theater of operations. The successful prosecution of the Pacific phase of the war and the needs of the liberated peoples of the world, plus the civilian requirements of the allied...

In Southern Oregon, grass seed production occupies a small acreage, but is an important part of agronomic crop production. The high value of sod quality bentgrass seed (Agrostis palustris Huds.) led to some growers supplementing soil fertilizers with foliar fertilizers in an attempt to increase seed yield. However, this practice...
The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. Biodiesel is an appealing transportation fuel source for many reasons: it readily substitutes for petroleum diesel, it tends to burn cleaner with fewer...

Grain is produced on about 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin and 60,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, a significant shift to production of hard...
Grain is produced on upwards of 100,000 acres in the Klamath Basin, including nearly 50,000 acres within the Klamath Reclamation Project. Susceptibility to late spring frosts has historically limited winter cereal production and spring cereals have accounted for the majority of production. Starting in 2003, acres seeded to winter wheat...

Concerns were raised about loss of soil from wind erosion with the announcement in early 2010 that most Klamath Reclamation Project water users would receive a delayed and reduced rate of irrigation water during the 2010 growing season, with some areas potentially receiving no irrigation water for the entire season....

As we described previously and elsewhere in this annual report, teff (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.], Poaceae) is a warm season (C4) annual tropical grass that can produce good quality forage during a short summer time frame, and thus has the potential to be a viable crop choice when forage producers: a)...
There are times when forage producers desire a quick-growing, high quality annual forage in mid-summer in situations such as: less-than full season irrigation water supply; need for an emergency crop due to crop failure; or forage rotation crop between alfalfa stands. Currently there are few good options in these situations....

Euphorbia lagascae has been recognized as one of the more promising potential new industrial crops for temperate latitudes (Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized that E. lagascae (Spreng.), Euphorbiaceae (euphorb or spurge...

The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. As described in our other studies (Roseberg et al., 2007; Roseberg and Shuck, 2008a and 2008b), we have begun testing the agronomic requirements...

The agronomy research program at OSU-KBREC has several objectives. We continue to test traditional crops such as small grains (wheat and barley), forages (alfalfa and grass hay), new forage and niche grain crops (i.e. teff), and crop production practices for these crops (i.e. conventional and organic soil fertility methods), evaluating...
Beginning in 2020, the International Maritime Organization International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) required vessels to comply with new sulfur air emission standards in Sulphur Emission Control Areas (Baltic Sea, North Sea, and off the coasts of the US and Canada) by: 1) using 0.1% sulfur...
Since its inception in 1985, the Tri-State variety development program has primarily focused on the development of processing and dual-purpose (process and fresh) russets. Recent breeding efforts have focused more on improving genetic resistance to various pests and diseases as a means of lowering production costs. During the past decade,...
