Lack of growing season precipitation and the temperate climate in north central Oregon pose challenges to growing spring wheat crops. Phosphate and sulfate fertilization can improve early growth of spring wheat in this region and soil testing aids in determining rates of fertilization. In this study, anion exchange membranes (AEM)...
Recommendations in this guide apply tocontinuously cropped cereals in low-
precipitation zones. This guide is one of a set of publications that address the nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc are covered in this guide. Soils...

Rotating wheat with other crops is a common practice in the Willamette Valley of
western Oregon. Depending upon previous crop and soil type, current N fertilizer
recommendations for wheat in the Willamette Valley vary widely. Excessive fertilizer
poses environmental risk, whereas lower N inputs than required by the crop represent...
Soft white winter wheat grown in western Oregon requires a spring application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer for optimum production. Determining the amount of N to apply has been a challenge for growers because wheat is produced in numerous rotations that provide varying amounts of N to the wheat crop. Inadequate...
