Winter squash is an important late winter vegetable crop for local and regional markets; however, farmers in western Oregon report that this crop is marginally profitable due to losses in storage and relatively low yields for the high culinary value kabocha and buttercup types. In order to increase the sales...
Predicting agronomic rates is important to derive optimum economic and environmental benefits from biosolids fertilizer applications. We conducted this research to 1) evaluate dryland wheat response to biosolids applications over a range of climate zones in the Pacific Northwest and 2) compare agronomic application rates predicted from yield curves with...

The use of management units for soil testing and nutrient application is an
effective strategy to increase accuracy in monitoring and managing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and other nutrients. A management unit can be a group of fields, a single field, or an area within a field. To measure changes...

Extensive areas of eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Idaho are well suited to dryland production of small grains and legumes. Commonly, over this area, winter wheat is planted in rotation with either annual legumes or summer fallow.

The fertilizer value of anaerobically-digested, dewatered biosolids in dryland cereal cropping systems was evaluated at six locations in central and eastern Washington (25 to 35 cm annual precipitation zone). Biosolids were applied at rates of 3 to 20 Mg/ha (approximately 150 to 900 kg N/ha). We measured increases in soil...
