Field-grown red maple (Acerrubrum) trees often develop foliar chlorosis during mid- to late summer. Initially, the condition appears as mild interveinal chlorosis in newly developing foliage. As symptoms intensify, entire leaves turn chlorotic. Under severe conditions, interveinal necrosis occurs. Chlorotic plants often have reduced height and caliper. The chlorosis is...
Ruminal microorganisms require nitrogen and energy for microbial crude protein
(MCP) synthesis. High-quality grass provides an excess of readily available proteins
relative to available carbohydrates which reduces the conversion efficiency of grass
protein to MCP. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are the primary source of readily
available energy. Objectives of trial 1...
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...
Несколько видов ягодных культур коммерчески выращивают в штате Орегон, в том числе, летом плодоносящие и плетье-плодоносящие малины (красная и черная) и ежевика то есть ажина. Эта публикация направлена на оценку содержания и внесения питательных веществ, применяющихся в выращивании кустарных ягод в западной части Орегона.
Several types of caneberries are produced commercially in Oregon, including summer-bearing and primo cane fruiting red raspberries, black raspberries (blackcaps), and blackberries. This publication addresses nutrient assessment
and application for caneberries produced in western Oregon.
In this area, caneberries typically are planted on Aloha, Jory, Newburg, Willamette, Woodburn, or Saum...

The Warm Springs Reservation is located in central Oregon. Livestock production consists of beef (commercial with an Angus, Horned Hereford base) and roping (Corriente and Longhorn) cattle and horses that forage most of the year on the open range within reservation boundaries. Forage consists of annual and perennial grasses and...
The objectives of the experiment were to: 1) determine the relationship
between overstory canopy cover and ungulate herbivory on understory production
composition and diversity and 2) determine the effects of timber harvest, ungulate
herbivory and season of use on botanical composition and nutritional quality of
beef cattle diets. Three randomly...
Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...
