Resources

  • Digger Articles
    An ongoing series provided by Oregon State University in partnership with Oregon Association of Nurseries to share research, education and extension activities with the regional and national nursery growers. The series is published in the monthly edition of Digger magazine, the voice of the Northwest nursery industry for more than 50 years.
  • OSU Horticulture resources
    Current research and information about nursery, greenhouse and Christmas trees
  • AGRIMET - Pacific Northwest Cooperative Agricultural Weather Network
    AgriMet, a conjunction of the words "agricultural" and "meteorology", is a satellite-based network of automated agricultural weather stations operated and maintained by the Bureau of Reclamation. The stations are located in irrigated agricultural areas throughout the Pacific Northwest and are dedicated to regional crop water use modeling, agricultural research, frost monitoring, and integrated pest and fertility management. The Aurora (ARAO) station located at the NWREC was installed in 1998.
  • Sustainable Nursery Production
    Explanation of tools for growing sustainably by focusing on balancing greater efficiency of resource use with environmental stewardship. By using water and nutrients efficiently and by controlling their movement both onsite and offsite, nurseries can become sustainable operations and be part of a larger movement that stresses the importance of "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations."
  • OSU Nursery Extension, Research & Education on Facebook
    Stay up to date on current activities of the the OSU nursery crops program. The program includes scientists, extension agents, and educators that work with industry professionals and peers to help growers meet their ongoing needs while educating and training the future of the industry.
  • OSU Extension Nursery Publications
  • The NAL Catalog (AGRICOLA)
    Bibliographic database of citations to the agricultural literature created by the National Agricultural Library (NAL) and its cooperators.
  • SNA Research Conference Proceedings
    Review the SNA Research Conference Proceedings from 1992 to the present in HTML and PDF formats. Research is divided into the following major divisions: Container-Grown Plant Production; Field Production, Entomology, Pathology & Nematology, Economics & Marketing, Engineering, Structures & Innovations, Growth Regulators, Propagation, Weed Control, Landscape, Water Management, Plant Breeding & Evaluation, and Floriculture.
