| Abstract/Contents: | "Oregon has continued as a major producer of cool-season forage and turf grass seed over the past 20 years. However, seed production technologies have not remained static. Indeed, several significant challenges have confronted Oregon seed growers, as well as new opportunities. Clearly, the most daunting affront to growers' traditional production system was legislation to reduce reliance on open-field burning of post-harvest crop residues. In the absence of burning, straw marketing opportunities emerged, but not without concern for anti-quality alkaloids present in endophyte-infected turfgrasses. In addition, an appreciation for the nutrient value of grass straw left on the fields challenged other producers to manage the full straw load in their cropping system. In the late 1990s, a new generation of plant growth regulators (PGRs) became available. These foliar-applied chemicals reduce growth through a reduction in plant level of gibberellins, and have become widely used on several species for providing lodging control and increased seed yield. Other production inputs, such as nitrogen, weed, disease and insect management have been 'fine-tuned' to avoid environmental risks and to maintain profitability for growers. Although the Willamette Valley is by far the most important area of grass seed production in the state, the Umatilla / Morrow county area (in the lower Columbia Basin of north central OR) has significantly expanded production of cool-season grasses in the last 20 years, and currently has more acreage than Union county (northeast OR) and Jefferson county (central OR) areas combined. Collectively, Oregon's Willamette Valley produces almost two-thirds of the total production of cool-season grasses in the United States of America (USA)." |
