STEEP
Funded Projects: 1996-2001
Approximately
$2.8 million has been allocated to funded the following research
and technology transfer projects)
- Development
of conservation farming systems for protecting soil and water
quality in downy brome infested dry land farming systems.
- Integrated
conservation spring cropping systems for the arid and semiarid
wheat-fallow region of the PNW.
- Residue
production and retention in small grain cereal and legume rotations
with different tillage practices.
- Modified
wheat-potato rotations to reduce wind erosion.
- PNW STEEP
III integrated cropping systems technology transfer.
- Disease
management for annual crops in low-rainfall regions.
- Alternative
crop rotations using no-till in low-rainfall dry land areas.
- Developing
flex-cropping options for wheat-fallow rotations.
- On-farm
evaluation of Cephalosporium stripe severity and yield for wheat
cultivars and cultivar mixtures grown in conservation tillage
systems.
- Impact of
long-term no till on soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties.
- Rotation
designs for direct seed cropping systems.
- Modern application
of historic crop rotation data.
- Developing
optimal seeding rates and planting practices to enhance yellow
mustard production with low chemical inputs in conservation farming
systems.
- Continuation
of PNW STEEP III integrated cropping systems technology transfer
project.
- Assessing
the economic viability of no-till and related conservation systems
for various agro-climatic zones in the Pacific Northwest.
- Managing
the economic transitions to no-till farming in the Pacific Northwest.
- Impact of
direct seeding on crop water use efficiency, soil physical and
microbial properties, and quality of soil organic matter.
- Improved
methods for evaluation of resistance to Cephalsporium stripe of
wheat.
- Integrated
management system for sustained seed yield of Kentucky bluegrass
without burning.
- Enhancing
the success of direct-seed systems through the use of case studies
to facilitate farmer-to-farmer learning in the Pacific Northwest.
- Northwest
coalition on direct-seed cropping systems research.
- Agronomic
and economic evaluation of new cropping systems and their components.

suitable cultivars and agronomic practices for direct drilling
winter canola into cereal stubble.
- Evaluation
of wheat and pea varieties under direct and conventional seeding
in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.

access to PNW STEEP III cropping systems technology.
- Long-term
alternative crop rotations for the low rainfall dry land using
no-till: Years 4 through 6.
- Identifying
superior Brassica species and cultivars within species that are
suitable for direct-seeding throughout the Pacific Northwest region.
- New technologies
and strategies for managing weeds in conservation cropping systems
for dryland wheat.
- The influence
of polyacrylamide on the movement of soil-applied herbicides in
furrow-irrigated corn.
- Assessing
the impact of no-till and conventional-till on crop, variety,
soil, insect, and disease response.
- Seed Placed
Lime to Reduce the Acidifying Affects of nitrogen Fertilizer in
Long-Term Direct Seed systems
- Updating
Statistical Analysis Software for On-Farm Testing
- No-Till
Sowing into Standing Irrigated Stubble Instead of Burning
