Peppermint irrigation and nitrogen management for the reduction of nitrate loading to groundwater

Creator:

Smesrud, Jason K.

Abstract:

The agricultural production of peppermint has been shown to contribute significant quantities of nitrate-nitrogen to groundwater recharge. In an effort to provide new tools for increasing nitrogen efficiency within peppermint production, three research questions were proposed: i) How should plant tissue samples be collected to achieve the greatest precision when...

Herbicide concentrations in water runoff from nurseries in northwestern Oregon

Creator:

Crabtree, Garvin, Montgomery, Marvin, and Schroeder, J. M.

Abstract:

The research reported here was a preliminary study to assess the nature and extent of herbicides leaving the target area in runoff water when these materials are used in container nurseries, and with less emphasis from nurseries growing field stock. Specific objectives of this study were to: 1) Survey the...
