The objectives of this study were to establish a suitable method
for the measurement of the root cation-exchange capacity of conifer
seedlings, and to examine possible influences of this root characteristic
on nutrient absorption from a Bellpine soil under greenhouse
conditions.
The exchange sites of fresh, excised roots were saturated...
An investigation of the effects of soil and foliar applications
of boron and of time of foliar application of boron on
growth, yield, and boron content of bush snap beans was made
during the 1962 growing season. This study was conducted at two
locations: Corvallis and Aurora, Oregon.
Yield, dry...
In Southern Oregon, grass seed production occupies a small acreage, but is an important part of agronomic crop production. The high value of sod quality bentgrass seed (Agrostis palustris Huds.) led to some growers supplementing soil fertilizers with foliar fertilizers in an attempt to increase seed yield. However, this practice...

The relationships between zinc, iron, and phosphorus in sweet
corn were investigated under field and greenhouse conditions. The
soils used in this study (both acid and calcareous) were low in available
zinc and phosphorus.
The experiments received standard, uniform rates of nitrogen
potassium, magnesium, and sulphur. Corn was used as...

CTSPAC is a mathematical model for coupled transport of water, solutes, and thermal
energy in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. The mathematical structure consists
of coupling a model for transport through soil (soil submodel) to one for xylem and phloem
transport (plant submodel). The modeling approach is based on discrete space conceptualization...

We investigated the effect of pyridoxine
supplementation on the utilization of protein in a low-protein,
plant-based diet in four subjects (2 men and
2 women), aged 21 to 38 years. Following two days of a
negligible protein diet, this 34 day study was divided into
three dietary periods: the subjects...
A comprehensive approach to nutrient management will help you ensure availability of optimum levels of nutrients for tree growth. Components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy include:
• Soil analysis before planting (useful in predicting the need for potassium, magnesium, or lime applications)
• Observations of annual shoot growth, leaf...
Five nutritional aspects of 'Valencia' orange production in Agadir, Morocco
during 1989-1991 were evaluated: 1) the effect of N and K on yield and fruit
quality, 2) leaf sampling time and diagnostic approaches to optimize mineral
nutrition, 3) mass and mineral partitioning within individual trees, 4) K-Rb
relationships, and 5)...
Field-grown red maple (Acerrubrum) trees often develop foliar chlorosis during mid- to late summer. Initially, the condition appears as mild interveinal chlorosis in newly developing foliage. As symptoms intensify, entire leaves turn chlorotic. Under severe conditions, interveinal necrosis occurs. Chlorotic plants often have reduced height and caliper. The chlorosis is...
Ruminal microorganisms require nitrogen and energy for microbial crude protein
(MCP) synthesis. High-quality grass provides an excess of readily available proteins
relative to available carbohydrates which reduces the conversion efficiency of grass
protein to MCP. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are the primary source of readily
available energy. Objectives of trial 1...
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...
Несколько видов ягодных культур коммерчески выращивают в штате Орегон, в том числе, летом плодоносящие и плетье-плодоносящие малины (красная и черная) и ежевика то есть ажина. Эта публикация направлена на оценку содержания и внесения питательных веществ, применяющихся в выращивании кустарных ягод в западной части Орегона.
Several types of caneberries are produced commercially in Oregon, including summer-bearing and primo cane fruiting red raspberries, black raspberries (blackcaps), and blackberries. This publication addresses nutrient assessment
and application for caneberries produced in western Oregon.
In this area, caneberries typically are planted on Aloha, Jory, Newburg, Willamette, Woodburn, or Saum...

The Warm Springs Reservation is located in central Oregon. Livestock production consists of beef (commercial with an Angus, Horned Hereford base) and roping (Corriente and Longhorn) cattle and horses that forage most of the year on the open range within reservation boundaries. Forage consists of annual and perennial grasses and...
The objectives of the experiment were to: 1) determine the relationship
between overstory canopy cover and ungulate herbivory on understory production
composition and diversity and 2) determine the effects of timber harvest, ungulate
herbivory and season of use on botanical composition and nutritional quality of
beef cattle diets. Three randomly...
Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of forest fuels reduction on the diet quality, botanical composition, relative preference, and foraging efficiency of beef cattle grazing at different stocking rates. A split plot factorial design was used, with the whole plots (3 ha) being fuel reduced or no treatment...
