Part 1: Bean mold project: What is an effective alternative to Ronilan for control of gray and white mold in snap beans when mold pressure is severe? When can we use a less expensive single fungicide application without putting the bean crop at significant risk?
Part 2: 12 Spot Beetle...
The VegNet regional pest monitoring program sponsored by the Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission has been fruitful.The program has, on occasion,saved growers money by providing
growers and agricultural professionals with early warnings
of insect pest outbreaks. The combination of regional pest
monitoring plus field scouting has allowed growers, in some cases,...
VegNet is a regional pest monitoring and reporting network serving the Oregon processed vegetable industry, managed by the OSU Extension Service, and funded by the Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission. In the early spring of 2007, a variety of insect traps were placed on cooperating farms in vegetable production areas around...

Weed management is a continual challenge to Oregon table beet growers. Research over the last several years has documented that s-metolachlor (Dual Magnum) will substantially improve weed control and crop yields when applied alone or in concert with other registered herbicides such as Roneet and Pyramin, with the potential to...
The objectives of this project were to evaluate the efficacy of common row crop herbicides for control of puncturevine, and determine the effect of post harvest weed management strategies on hairy nightshade seed development.
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (causal agent of white mold) can cause serious economic losses in snap bean production as well as many other crops. Spores are produced in apothecia (mushroom-like structures) that develop from over-wintering sclerotia in the soil. Sclerotia are long-lived, durable hyphal survival structures produced by the fungus and they...
The objective of this research was to determine best use patterns for Upbeet herbicide considering factors of preemergence herbicide and cultivation, and how these affect optimum timing for Upbeet applied with or without Spin-Aid for control of weeds such as nightshade and lambsquarters.
Nitrogen use varies dramatically among crops. Short season crops with relatively small
biomass accumulation will not need as much nitrogen for growth as long season corn varieties
that develop a large canopy. The recent introduction of sweet corn hybrids that tolerate root rot
may reduce N fertilizer need. Hybrids such...
