Weed Science

A weed management field trial was established on transitional land at Blue Mountain Community College (BMCC) in collaboration with their undergraduate agriculture program. Seeding rate, plant density and green manure species will be manipulated to determine the effects on weed densities in organic wheat production. BMCC students established the trial and will be participating in data collection. Students may put together a website for the trial where data and pictures would be posted.

The small farms website is an outreach component of the Oregon State University Extension Small Farms Program. On their website you can find links to important Extension fact sheets, subscribe to their newsletter, download the organic fertilizer and cover crop calculator, and read their technical reports.
