Encouraging beneficial insects in your garden

Most insects are not pests. Only those that feed on desirable plants or transmit disease cause problems for gardeners. Many insects are very useful. Some are pollinators of fruits, flowers, and vegetables, while others help control insect pests. There are three types of beneficial insects: predators, pollinators, and parasitoids

Taking care of streams in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska : a recreationist's guide to riparian areas

A s a recreationist, you have a unique opportunity to help maintain or improve the health of streams and riparian areas. A riparian area is the land adjacent to a stream, lake, or wetland. Healthy riparian areas often have moist, fertile soils that support many types of plants. These plants provide food and shelter to numerous fish and wildlife. The Pacific Northwest’s growing population adds to the numbers of people accessing our waterways. Recreational uses include fishing, kayaking, bird watching, camping, biking, hunting, jet skiing, and more. Although designated access points are provided throughout the Northwest, many people access the water from public or private properties that lack proper access facilities. In these places, proper care of the riparian area will ensure a more pleasant experience for all users, as well as better conditions for fish and wildlife. Healthy riparian areas: • Reduce the chance of damaging floods • Improve water quality • Store and release water, moderating stream flow • Provide habitat for fish and wildlifePublished October 2002.

PacTrans Researchers Develop New Techniques to Assess Rock Slopes Endangering Highways

Over the past six years, the Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans) has funded a group of four researchers from three partner universities to explore innovative methods for rockfall and landslide risk assessment. The four phases of this work resulted in numerous real-world implementations. Assessing rockfall and landslide risk poses significant challenges to transportation departments (DOTs). Classical slope assessment methods are laborious, unsafe, and costly. Two key factors limiting slope assessment are inadequate data, and modern observation systems. Without baseline data and monitoring systems, analysis of changing factors affecting transportation infrastructure is not feasible

Root-lesion nematodes : biology and management in Pacific Northwest wheat cropping systems

Nematodes are tiny but complex unsegmented roundworms that are anatomically differentiated for feeding, digestion, locomotion, and reproduction. These small animals make important contributions to organic matter decomposition and to the food chain. Some species, however, are parasitic to plants or animals. This publication provides a description and information on biology, symptoms, yield reduction, crop management, sampling, and identification related to root-lesion nematodes in Pacific Northwest wheat cropping systems.Published March 2010. A more recent revision exists.
