Abstract:: Most farmers’ markets lack information to make effective changes and improvements. We have designed three simple, low-cost methods to address the information gaps. The first two—attendance counts and dot surveys—are quantitative and can be used independently by markets. The third method is the more complete Rapid Market Assessment (RMA), which...

Abstract:: Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Pathogenic agrobacteria residing within the vascular system are able to initiate tumor growth in damaged plant cells. Sampling from 21 sites in Oregon vineyards and nurseries yielded diverse populations of pathogenic agrobacteria. Most of the pathogenic...
