STEEP III Funded Projects: 1996-1999

Approximately $1.8 million has been allocated to fund the following research and technology transfer projects.

  1. Development of conservation farming systems for protecting soil and water quality in downy brome infested dry land farming systems.
  2. Integrated conservation spring cropping systems for the arid and semiarid wheat-fallow region of the PNW.
  3. Residue production and retention in small grain cereal and legume rotations with different tillage practices.
  4. Modified wheat-potato rotations to reduce wind erosion.
  5. PNW STEEP III integrated cropping systems technology transfer.
  6. Disease management for annual crops in low-rainfall regions.
  7. Alternative crop rotations using no-till in low-rainfall dry land areas.
  8. Developing flex-cropping options for wheat-fallow rotations.
  9. On-farm evaluation of Cephalosporium stripe severity and yield for wheat cultivars and cultivar mixtures grown in conservation tillage systems.
  10. Impact of long-term no till on soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties.
  11. Rotation designs for direct seed cropping systems.
  12. Modern application of historic crop rotation data.
  13. Developing optimal seeding rates and planting practices to enhance yellow mustard production with low chemical inputs in conservation farming systems.
  14. Continuation of PNW STEEP III integrated cropping systems technology transfer project.
  15. Assessing the economic viability of no-till and related conservation systems for various agro-climatic zones in the Pacific Northwest.
  16. Managing the economic transitions to no-till farming in the Pacific Northwest.
  17. Impact of direct seeding on crop water use efficiency, soil physical and microbial properties, and quality of soil organic matter.
  18. Improved methods for evaluation of resistance to Cephalosporium stripe of wheat.
  19. Integrated management system for sustained seed yield of Kentucky bluegrass without burning.
  20. Enhancing the success of direct-seed systems through the use of case studies to facilitate farmer-to-farmer learning in the Pacific Northwest.
  21. Northwest coalition on direct-seed cropping systems research.
  22. Agronomic and economic evaluation of new cropping systems and their components.
  23. Develop suitable cultivars and agronomic practices for direct drilling winter canola into cereal stubble.
  24. Evaluation of wheat and pea varieties under direct and conventional seeding in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
  25. Direct Seed Cropping Systems Conference.
