Scientists have developed a new approach to modeling potentially drought-prone soils in Pacific Northwest forests, which could aid natural resource managers to prepare forested landscapes for a changing climate.
This publication describes factors to consider when deciding to plant a hazelnut orchard and includes a table of native productivity ratings for soil series types in the Willamette Valley.
In 2022, Shayan Ghajar planted randomized blocks of annual forages and evaluated them for yield and nutritive value and also set out to determine the best sowing dates and growing conditions.
The plants in the field trials were chosen by an advisory group of nursery growers and landscape designers and were evaluated on growth, visual appeal, timing of flowering, density of flowers, physiology and heat tolerance.
This publication lists the components of a comprehensive nutrient management strategy and provides nutrition guidelines for mature and new hazelnut orchards.
This publication outlines hazelnut orchard design considerations, including density and yield, spacing and arrangement of permanent trees, and loading zones. It also includes a brief description of procedures for establishing a new orchard.
