The dryland cereal producer in the lower Columbia Basin makes many critical soil and crop management decisions each season. These decisions are made more difficult because of the highly variable climatic conditions that exist in the region. A particularly difficult crop management decision facing the cereal grower is the determination...
There is growing concern among producers regarding the sustainability of current dryland winter wheat cropping practices. This study looks at the economic viability of three wheat rotations currently being studied at the Columbia Basin Research Center in Pendleton, Oregon, including W IF and two alternative rotations, W/B/F and C/W/F. The...

In a series of 30 winter wheat fertilizer experiments conducted in the Willamette Valley between 1963 and 1969, optimum rates of nitrogen fertilization varied from 75 to 150 pounds per acre. Fertilization with N, particularly at the-higher rates, increased the protein content of the grain.
Spring-applied N gave greater yield...

Proper nitrogen (N) management and variety selection are important for profitable hard red winter (HRW) wheat production in the dryland growing regions of northeastern Oregon. In these dryland systems, N management for grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) is challenging due to climatic and year-to-year variation in production environments....
‘Skiles’ is a common soft white winter wheat developed by Oregon State University in cooperation with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. This publication describes the variety, its agronomic characteristics, development, and seed availability.
The successful production of hard wheat with acceptable protein is based, in part, on an effective nitrogen (N) management plan. This fact sheet discusses the principles of managing N
for hard wheat production and explains how to calculate an N application rate. The information contained in this fact
sheet is...
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...
