Abstract
Nineteen Northwest bareroot nurseries were polled concerning the crop, site, and administrative records they keep and their methods of recordkeeping. Seventy-nine percent of those nurseries currently use computers in some of their recordkeeping, and 95% expect to be using computers within the next 5 years. Sample printouts from the D. L. Phipps Oregon State Forest Nursery highlight features of its computerized crop recordkeeping system. Though computers have numerous applications for bareroot nurseries, they are not a panacea for good recordkeeping. Each nursery must assess its own needs to determine whether computerization is appropriate.
