• (2022) The First Evaluation of the ‘WieSEL’ Integrated Plot Combine Grain Yield System A study of the WeiSEL, manufactured by Zurn Harvesting of Germany, shows that the new plot combine yield measurement system is a less expensive and reliable alternative to manual yield collection methods.
• (2022) OSU research results in glysophate alternatives for wheat farmers An Oregon State University-led research team responded to the problem of glyphosate-resistant Russian thistle – a weed that infests nearly 5 million acres in the Pacific Northwest, and through four years of fieldwork, developed practices involving residual herbicides that are effective in controlling the pest.
• (2020) Performance of Hard Red Winter Wheat in Late-Planted Fallow This publication describes results of field research on the performance of hard red winter wheat cultivars in a late-planted fallow system in the low-precipitation zone of Oregon and Washington.
• (2012) Phosphorus fertilization of late-planted winter wheat in no-till fallow This publication describes results of applied research on phosphorus fertilization of late-planted winter wheat in no-till fallow in the low-precipitation zone of Oregon and Washington.
• (2023) Winter Wheat in Continuous Cropping Systems (High Precipitation Zone) Fertilizer Guide Addresses nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Includes recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc.
• (2023) Winter Wheat and Spring Grains in Continuous Cropping Systems (Low Precipitation Zone) Fertilizer Guide Addresses nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Includes recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc.
• (2023) Winter Wheat in Summer-Fallow Systems (Low Precipitation Zone) Fertilizer Guide Addresses nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Includes recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc.
• (2023) Winter Wheat in Summer-Fallow Systems (Intermediate Precipitation Zone) Fertilizer Guide Addresses nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Includes recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc.
• (2023) Winter Wheat in Continuous Cropping Systems (Intermediate Precipitation Zone) Fertilizer Guide Addresses nutritional requirements of nonirrigated cereal crops in north-central and eastern Oregon. Includes recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, chloride, and zinc.
• (2007) Irrigated and Dryland Canola Nutrient Management Guide Provides nutrient application recommendations for nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, boron, and pH adjustment. Includes example fertilizer application rate calculations.
• (2006) Monitoring Soil Nutrients in Dryland Systems Using Management Units Focuses on how to design a soil nutrient monitoring strategy using management units or zones for soil testing and nutrient application. This approach is designed to provide better information to make nutrient management decisions at a reasonable cost. Using a management unit approach, a grower can vary the amount and type of nutrient applications within a field. Two examples of nutrient monitoring are provided to illustrate the process of deciding when, where, and how to sample, as well as how to interpret soil test results.
