Native shrublands and their associated grasses and forbs have been disappearing from the
Great Basin as a result of grazing practices, exotic weed invasions, altered fire regimes, climate change
and other human impacts. Native forb seed is needed...

The effects of irrigation frequencies and rates and time of
nitrogen fertilizer application on the yields, grades and N status of
Russet Burbank potatoes were determined on a sandy soil near
Hermiston, Oregon.
Increasing the frequency of...

Recent advances in computer technology have made possible the
development of expert systems. Expert systems are computer programs that
perform at the level of a human expert. Expert systems can help integrate and

In this work, we first introduce a novel approach to the long term irrigation scheduling
using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We explore the effectiveness of GAs in the context of
optimizing nonlinear crop models and describe application requirements...

Effects of amount of applied water and frequency of irrigation
on head rot and yield of three broccoli cultivars were evaluated in
1987 and 1988. Two irrigation frequencies were established with a
line-source sprinkler system for 5.5 weeks during...

During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied
at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and
density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development
at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon...

Soil moisture in a crop's root zone must be regularly
monitored to accurately predict crop water requirements.
Most irrigation scheduling services currently
use the neutron probe to monitor soil moisture. Unfortunately,
there is a degree of...

This publication focuses on using water analyses to choose appropriate water treatment
and water management practices for irrigated agriculture. It will help determine:
• What tests are needed to characterize water quality
• How to collect water...

In the late 1980s, the U.S. Pacific Northwest potato industry faced a crisis. Potato tuber quality was inadequate to meet the needs of potato processing companies due to a condition called “sugar ends” or “dark ends” in fried tuber
slices. This...

When water is plentiful, growers usually schedule irrigation practices around
other farming activities. For example, most growers change furrow irrigation
sets at 12- or 24-hour intervals because this timing is convenient and
uses labor...

More than 4.5 million acres in the Pacific
Northwest are irrigated with electric-powered
sprinkler systems. Center pivots are used on about
1.25 million acres. Irrigation runoff can be a problem
on many of these sprinkler-irrigated fields.
