Corylus avellana L. is a global commodity and a valuable crop for the U.S. Pacific Northwest. A tremendous amount of work has been put into the development of healthy disease free, high yielding and tasty hazelnuts for the in-shell and confectionary markets. Clonal propagation is required to provide nursery trees...
This study evaluates Beufil's Diagnosis and
Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) on hazelnuts.
Although sufficiency ranges are currently the main
approach for fertilizer recommendations in Oregon, DRIS
enhanced nutritional interpretations, and might alter
recommendations. Reference values (DRIS norms) were
developed using 15 years of published and unpublished
field data. DRIS indices...
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...
This publication lists the components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy and provides nutrition guidelines for mature and new hazelnut orchards.
Hazelnut is one of the most important nuts in worldwide production and the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the most economically important of the 11 recognized hazelnut species. Development of new cultivars is continuous, with emphasis on better nut quality, high yield and disease resistance. Hazelnuts are highly heterozygous,...
Commercial hog diets in the United States commonly contain lipid sources high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, most notably linoleic acid (18:2). This may result in greater deposits of linoleic acid in pork adipose tissue, contributing to an increased potential for lipid oxidation, high n-6/n-3 fatty acid ratio and increased fat...
