Abstract:: Application of N fertilizer is a common forest management practice in the Pacific Northwest, yet the long-term influence of fertilization on forest soil properties is not well known. Although elevated N often increases mineralization of C and N from labile organic matter, negative effects have been documented in recalcitrant organic...

Abstract:: Estimates of nitrogen (N) available from long-term application of organic amendments are required to balance N inputs with crop N requirements. Two studies were conducted to (1) determine N mineralized from organic amendments (manures and composts) during year 2 after application, and (2) compare plant-available N (PAN) determined via in...

Creator:: McQueen, John Paul Gainer
Abstract:: As part of a participatory research project, where farmers and Oregon State University researchers collaborated, aspects of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growing systems were studied. It was determined through conversations with the farmers that quantification of certain growth parameters of potato was lacking, including dry matter accumulation, crop nitrogen (N)...

Creator:: Saint Pierre, Carolina
Abstract:: Hard white winter (HVVW) wheat cultivars must have superior protein quality and consistent processing quality to be successful in the Asian market. New cultivars and management strategies are needed to produce HVVW grain for both bread and noodle applications from diverse environments in the US Pacific Northwest (PNW). This study...
