This white paper gives an overview of the software applications used by university presses to publish digital monographs. In addition, we will look at routes taken by university presses to move from all print to some e-publishing and list the supplemental online content that is typically offered for a fee.

Light-activated Sensor Sprayer for Reduced Herbicide
Use in No-till Fallow
Daniel A. Ball
No-till pasture renovation can increase the quality and forage yield of underproductive pastures. Decreased erosion, lower costs, and less lost grazing time are advantages of no-till renovation compared to conventional renovation. Unwanted vegetation is first controlled with herbicides to decrease competition for introduced orchardgrass. Two field trials were conducted using...
Irrigated agriculture constitutes the greatest consumptive water use globally, so that irrigation efficiency measures are an important part of global efforts to best utilize this limited resource. However, greater irrigation efficiency must be achieved while simultaneously maintaining or increasing crop yields and farming profitability. Incremental water use decisions are made...
Quarantine and inspection as generally applied,
both in the past and at present, has been limited to
horticultural plants and horticultural plant products
as nursery stock including trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings,
ornamentals, scions, buds, rootings, bulbs,

a question too narrow, as it...
On account of the abundance of the antique tussock
moth, and the ease with which material for study can be
secured in the vicinity of Corvallis, an investigation
of this insect was thought to be a fitting subject for
my graduation thesis. The work was begun in the spring
of...

A broad definition of forestry would be the study of trees, forests, and their use by people. Modern science-based forestry is thought to have begun in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked to specialists to address questions of wood supply and extraction both in their forests at home and in...
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss concepts and strategies that provide a general framework which can be used to develop a microcomputer simulation model for educating senior public officials on the linkages between the macroeconomy and agriculture in a developing country. Tradition has it that agriculture is preeminently...
This study evaluated the effects of tillage system, rotational tillage sequences, and winter seed burial depth on weed seedling recruitment in irrigated cropping systems. Notill (NT) planting of vegetable crops reduced emergence of hairy nightshade by 77 to 99% and Powell amaranth emergence from 50 to 87% compared to conventional...
The LifeKnowledge curriculum is a recent initiative of the National FFA Organization to develop key learning precepts in agriculture education students. This material utilizes cutting-edge teaching techniques in lesson plans designed to develop leadership, teamwork, personal development, and communication abilities in students. This project surveyed current agriculture teachers in Oregon...
The Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976
took effect on March 1, 1977. By this Act the United
States extended its management over fisheries to 200
nautical miles from shore. Extended fishery jurisdiction
was expected to promote industry development and expand
the contribution of the fishing industry to the...
The capacity expansion investment decisions on the provision
of municipal sewerage are the central aspects of this analysis.
The purpose is to present a methodology, utilizing a dynamic demand
and supply model of sewerage, for recommending a set of values for
the investment and pricing decision variables. The outcome of...

This paper presents a review of existing literature concerning sprout suppression in stored potato. Currently available synthetic chemical suppressants are discussed and compared to alternative suppressants such as essential oils. Literature examining the efficacy of various commercially available essential oil products on potato sprout suppression are reviewed, and other essential...
Although Mexico is one of the major lime producing countries in the world the crop is not completely utilized. In this paper some ideas are reviewed in relation to various possible products that can be obtained from the efficient processing of limes. Among these are the extraction of the juice,...

The purpose of this bulletin is to show how woods should be graded in order that they may be given uniform results when subjected to treatment with preservatives; it is intended for those interested in wood preservation.
The study critically analyzes the implication of various agricultural
development policies on urban unemployment and income distribution.
More specifically it focuses on the evaluation of agricultural
policies at the macro-economic Level in the Nigerian economy.
A system science and simulation approach is used to build and
test a ten sector...
The Wheat Growers Economic Conference was called in order to formulate a program for agriculture in the Columbia River Basin. Many ideas have been advanced by many people trying to help and stabilize agricultural conditions there. These ideas have varied widely, some being directly opposed to others. The proposals and...
