Dryland Crops and Weed Research
Dryland Crops and Weed Research
Welcome to the Columbia Basin Agricultural Research Center Weed Science Research Project Web Page. We are involved in developing Integrated Weed Management Systems for Eastern Oregon Dryland Crops.
We are located at the Columbia Basin Agriculture Research Center (CBARC), 8 miles northeast of Pendleton, Oregon on Tubbs Ranch Road and Hwy 11 north.
2007 Eastern Oregon Weed Control Research Report
2007 NE Oregon Grass Seed Research Report
Project Objectives:
Investigate new herbicides to improve weed management and environmental
suitability for eastern Oregon dryland crops. Particular emphasis will be
placed on weed management in intensive dryland crop rotations using direct
seeding.
Characterize the impact of alternative, dryland rotation crops
on winter annual grass weed populations and develop crop rotation practices
that minimize crop losses due to weeds.
Develop improved
weed management practices for dryland fallow to optimize herbicide inputs and
reduce tillage.
Develop strategies for
restoration of degraded native grasslands.
