The study was conducted in an organic trailing blackberry (Rubus L. subgenus Rubus, Watson) planting established at the North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora, OR on 26 May 2010. Three weed management systems were compared for 'Marion' and 'Black Diamond': 1) non-weeded; 2) hand-hoed two to three times...
There is limited information available on production of trailing blackberry, particularly certified organic plantings, which are of interest to growers as there is increased consumer demand and a price premium over conventionally-produced fruit. Various production strategies were evaluated for their effect on yield, biomass production, carbon (C), and nutrient concentrations...
Blackberry (Rubus sp.) fruit are a good source of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins, and are consumed in fresh and processed forms. Though organic products become more popular, limited information is available about how different organic production methods affect the post-harvest quality of blackberry fruit. The objective of this project was...
Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus, formerly Rubus discolor and Rubus procerus) is a European shrub that was introduced in the United States as a crop in the late 19th century. It escaped cultivation and has since invaded a variety of sites, including low-elevation streamside areas throughout the Pacific Northwest. Listed as...
Himalayan blackberry, also known as Armenian blackberry, is a widespread invasive species in western Oregon and also grows in some eastern Oregon riparian zones. Commonly found in riparian areas, it also grows along roadsides and fence corridors and in open woodlands, logged areas, and other disturbed sites. It grows best...
Himalaya blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is a widespread, exotic, invasive plant now common over much of western Oregon and Washington. An observational experiment revealed that disturbance to a monoculture of Himalaya blackberry allows the soil seed bank to be expressed and return the inhabited area to an earlier successional stage. This...
Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were conducted with
the following objectives: (a) to study the effects of N-1-naphthylphthalamic
acid (naptalam) on shoot and tuber production, rhizome transformation,
and growth of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants;
(b) to study the effects of N-phosphonomethyl glycine (glyphosate) on
nutsedge plants at different...
