Forty perennial and 12 annual grass varieties were evaluated for seed production potential at Corvallis, Oregon. Perennial ryegrass, orchardgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, red fescue, Chewings fescue, tall fescue, and annual ryegrass were included in the study. Results of 1986 and 1987 harvest years are reported.
Research reported here was done by or in collaboration with the people listed on each report. In most cases, a landowner cooperated as well. Each study was conducted over a 2-year period because first-year control of perennial weeds is not necessarily indicative of long term control.

The production of high quality grass seed is important to the agricultural economy of the Grande Ronde Valley (GRV) of eastern Oregon. The predominate grass seed crops grown in the area are Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescues. Historically, open-field burning has been an effective, economical means by which to remove...

This is the first report on the Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team’s (IMST) review of the hatchery-related measures in the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (Oregon Plan). This report focuses on the consistency of the Oregon Plan with issues common to the findings of three independent scientific panels regarding hatchery...
The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened regional leaders in hatchery management and salmon recovery on June 19-21, 2000 for a scientific workshop on Conservation Hatcheries and Supplementation Strategies for the Recovery of Wild Stocks of Salmonids. The purpose was to provide better information (a) to help the IMST with...
The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) was directed to evaluate the extent of predatory impacts of marine mammals and seabirds on salmonids and to recommend actions to mitigate impacts. IMST focused on the Oregon Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Action Plans because they provide the programmatic direction for the State...
The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened 19 regional leaders in salmon management and research in a workshop on Goals for Recovery of Oregon Coastal Native (OCN) Stocks on August 4-5, 1999. The main purposes of the workshop were to 1) define the concept of recovery and 2) to identify...
The forests of Oregon are an important part of the landscape used by wild salmonids. How these forests are managed is important in attaining the goals of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (Oregon Plan) and Oregon Executive Order 99-01. Agricultural, urban, and other environments are addressed in other...
This report discusses major characteristics of western Oregon’s lowland rivers, streams, and estuaries that the IMST finds to be important to wild salmonids. IMST describes how landscape scale factors (landscape structure, landscape function, disturbance regimes, and landscape scale biological processes) historically supported salmonid populations in western Oregon lowlands. The report...
