Identifying nutrient deficiency and toxicity in red raspberry
No full textThe Pacific Northwest leads the United States in red raspberry
production. Many factors affect yield, including nutrition,
weather, pests, and water. Most nutritional problems can be
quickly solved once you know the specific problem, but an
accurate diagnosis is difficult.
Foliar nutrient symptoms can be helpful, if you recognize
specific nutritional disorders and if you're aware of the
limitations involved in basing a diagnosis solely on these
symptoms.
Different nutritional disorders can produce symptoms that
are very similar to each other. Some diseases and pests also
produce symptoms that mimic nutritional disorders. Other
nutritional problems only produce symptoms when the
problem is so severe that corrective measures may be too late.
Nutrients typically found to be deficient in Pacific Northwest
red raspberries are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,
sulfur, magnesium, copper, boron, and zinc.
Manganese is the nutrient most likely to be present in toxic
quantities because levels increase under the acid conditions
that commonly occur. Boron toxicity can result from
overfertilization. Other toxicities are rare in the Pacific
Northwest.
This publication is intended to help you diagnose nutritional
problems. What follows is a brief summary of the roles
each element has in plant growth or development and each
element's normal level in red raspberries.
Also included are summaries (in percentages) from the
Oregon State University Plant Analysis Laboratory for nearly
500 Pacific Northwest red raspberry samples analyzed in the
last 15 years.
These summaries are included to give you an idea of how
common or rare specific deficiencies or toxicities are in
Oregon and neighboring states. Photographs and descriptions
of common foliar symptoms are also presented.

No full textThe degree of wildfire risk depends on both the probability of an ignition and the potential for damage or harm (such as loss of trees, homes, or even lives). Recognizing that you may have a high wildfire risk is the first step in doing something about it. Whether you own a few acres or thousands, this publication will help you reduce the potential for wildfire damage on your property while improving overall forest health and wildlife habitat. Although these actions won’t prevent a wildfire from coming onto your property, they can make it more fire resistant. By following the guidelines in this publication you can reduce a fire’s severity so that most trees survive and firefighters are better able to attack and extinguish the blaze

How to reduce bee poisoning from pesticides [2006]
No full textPublished December 2006. A more recent revision exists. Facts and recommendations in this publication may no longer be valid. Please look for up-to-date information in the OSU Extension Catalog: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalogCommercially managed honey bees pollinate a variety of crops in the Pacific Northwest, including tree fruits, berries, cucurbits, and crops grown for seed. This activity is economically significant. In 2004, the value of bee-pollinated crops in the region was approximately 14.6 billion. While honey bees are our most economically
important pollinators, other managed bees, such as the alfalfa leaf cutting bee and the alkali bee, are important as well. Native wild bees, including numerous species of bumble bee and orchard mason bees, are also prolific pollinators. The estimated annual value of crops pollinated by wild, native bees in the U.S. is $3 billion. Hundreds of species of bees are native to the Pacific Northwest. The full value of their pollination services is unknown. The sensitivity of native bees to pesticides generally has not been studied
