Optimal and sustainable fisheries industry can only be achieved with proper planning through
the implementation of appropriate management instruments as well. Fisheries resources
accounting is one of the planning instruments, which should be used as a main reference of
Fisheries Management Plan. In general, fisheries accounting provide insights for policy...

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effects of manipulating soil moisture and nitrogen availability using different approaches, including supplemental irrigation, nitrogen addition to the soil or to the leaves, and the elimination of competition for water and nutrients between the ground cover and the grapevines by tilling....
An approximation of the total yeast fermentable nitrogen content in juice or must is taken as the sum of the nitrogen available from ammonia and the alpha-amino acids present (Bisson 1991 ; Dukes and Butzke 1998 ; Jiranek, Langridge, and Henshcke 1995). Recommended levels of fermentable nitrogen needed by yeast...
Objectives:
· Evaluate canopy management options available to Oregon growers for their effects on yield, grape composition, and wine quality.
· Investigate the relationships between vine growth, cluster environment, grape composition and wine quality.
· Develop techniques that improve the capabilities of Oregon winegrape growers to obtain consistent yields with...
Objectives:
1. Evaluate canopy management options available to Oregon growers including trellising and pruning for their effects on yield and grape composition.
2. Investigate the relationships between vine growth, cluster environment cluster morphology, and grape composition.
3. Develop techniques that improve the capabilities of Oregon winegrape growers to maximize wine...

A broad range of factors influence wine grape quality and manipulation of these factors has stimulated interest among grape growers, wine makers, and research scientists alike. One such factor affecting wine grape quality is crop level, particularly for Pinot noir. Since the capacity of a vine to ripen fruit depends...
For this trial, established Pinot noir vines, located on the valley floor of the Umpqua Valley in Oregon
were used. In 1996 and 1997 sixteen vines trained to the Scott Henry trellising system were separated
into four different quadrants, determined by shoot orientation: Bottom canopy, shoots trained toward the
ground;...
Grafted grapevines will become increasingly important in Oregon vineyards in order to prevent loss of plants to phylloxera infestations. Several rootstocks are now being evaluated in Oregon for horticultural traits and characteristics related to wine quality. Resistance or tolerance to other plant diseases affecting grapevines needs to be examined as...
The report below and displays in the lobby summarize the first-year activities of the Oregon Vineyard Soil and Nutrition Initiative. This work has laid the foundations for OVID, the Oregon Vineyard Database, which will fill the second year of OVSNI and is discussed in the final sections.
Objectives of proposed research:
1. Investigate the relationship between abscisic acid (ABA) and auxins and the regulation of carbon partitioning.
2. Investigate the origin of ABA present in the fruit during ripening and attempt to modify the partitioning pattern through manipulation of endogenous ABA levels using mefluidide (ABA biosynthesis promoter)...
The Willamette valley has grown to be an important source of high quality grapes for the production of wine. These grapes are a very high value crop that has proven to be profitable in this region. Irrigation of this crop has been limited largely to the establishment stage, with most...
Variability in fruit set and yield is a serious problem in Oregon viticulture, particularly with Pinot noir. Climatic variation during the flowering period contributes significantly to this problem by affecting fruit set and cluster weight. Cool wet weather during bloom results in poor set, small clusters, and low yields. Seasons...
Minimal pruning continues to look like a production system worthy of consideration in small scale commercial trials. In 1993, in a trial on Chardonnay at Woodhall vineyard, minimal pruning was compared to standard cane pruned vines on a vertical trellis. This was the second year of the trial.
Trellis design and canopy management have been major research topics in viticulture during the last ten years. The article by Dave Adelsheim in the first edition of the "Oregon Winegrowers Guide" and the presentations of Shaulis, Smart, Carboneau, Intrerari and Koblet at the 1984 Cool Climate Symposium in Eugene were...
