Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate the effects of integrating conservation tillage and cover cropping on broccoli production as well as agroecological parameters. A field experiment was conducted during 1996-97 at the Oregon State University Horticulture Research farm near Corvallis, OR. The specific objectives...

It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties lack important traits required under organic and low-input production conditions. This is primarily due to selection in conventional breeding programmes...
Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing
and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a
cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common
vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium
multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...
Kiwifruit are native to southeast Asia. There are more than 50 species in the genus Actinidia, and many have commercial potential. The most common kiwifruit species grown commercially is Actinidia deliciosa cultivar Hayward. Consumers are very familiar with this brown, fuzzy
fruit.
Home gardens produce the best yields when planted with
vegetable varieties adapted to local growing conditions.
These variety trials may assist market growers and home
gardeners in choosing adapted varieties, based on qualities
that are important to them (such as appearance, earliness,
flavor, yield, and disease resistance).
