This report is for companies along the Oregon Coast that provide guided kayaking, salmon fishing, and whale-watching tours. It aims to help them better understand the effectiveness of their online marketing and see how their prices compare to those of their competitors.
A field experiment under irrigation was conducted at the
Hyslop Agronomy Farm, near Corvallis, Oregon, during the 1967
growing season to evaluate the effect of barley row spacing, nitrogen
rate and placement, and weed competition in the year of seeding upon
birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) seedling establishment.
The effect...
Confluence is a newsletter of Oregon Sea Grant promoting discovery, understanding, and resilience for Oregon coastal communities and ecosystems. Articles feature the supported research and events of the program.
European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop Oregon's Willamette Valley, producing 99% of the hazelnuts grown in North America and brings over US $60 million dollars to the region annually. Hazelnuts are rich in fiber and vitamins, as well in demand by consumers due to their popularity as...
The Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington in the United States and British Columbia in Canada) is one of the major producers of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) and blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in the world. The expansion of growing area with these crops has resulted in the emergence of new...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) - white clover
(Trifolium repens) hill-land pastures were grazed at
different times in the winter to study the effect of time
of winter grazing on plant response and forage production.
The same pastures were grazed by sheep once in early
December, January, February, March, or April...
As part of investigations to adapt a suitable grazing system in
western Oregon, this research was designed to monitor the effects of
defoliation treatments on dry matter production, forage quality,
regrowth after defoliation, and species composition of a Lolium
perenne Trifolium subterraneum pasture for three consecutive
growing seasons from 1980...
The objective of this investigation was to develop an acceptable
aspartame sweetened orange sherbet which might offer significant
caloric reduction and cost advantages, and hence be applicable to
commercial production.
A control sherbet, with a preference level equal to a
commercially available orange sherbet was used as the reference.
An...
Downy brome (Bromus tectorum. L.), a serious grass weed in eastern Oregon can be partially controlled in wheat by metribuzin [4-amino-6-tertbutyl- 3-(methylthio)-as triazin -5(4H)-one]. However, cultivars of many crops Lave been reported to differ in their level of tolerance to metribuzin. This lack of tolerance has led to the investigation...
Oregon's Willamette Valley sweet cherry growers have
developed a market for large, high quality, stem-on brining cherries.
The maturity indices pull force (PF), percent soluble solids (SS),
and weight (Wt) were chosen as being the most probable indicators of
maturity.
The rate of change of PF during the harvest period...
