  1. Impacts of Spring-interseeded Cover Crops on Late-emerging Weed Suppression and Ground Cover in Corn (Zea mays L.) Production Systems

    <p>Any alternative crop management strategy will only be adopted by growers if yield is not negatively impacted, fits within a current management practice, is easily implementable with minimal cost, or provides other beneficial features such as weed control or suppression. Corn production that …

  2. Use of an Optical Sorter to Select for Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Kernel Color

    … cultivars are needed for new end-use markets, and selection tools are necessary to help wheat breeders differentiate and efficiently separate white and red colored kernels within segregating populations to develop new white-kernel colored wheat cultivars. This study evaluated the effectiveness …

  3. Combining and mapping QTL for fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat

    … one of the most damaging wheat diseases in humid and semi-humid regions around the world. Single gene resistance to FHB in wheat provides only partial resistance and also the disease severity is highly influenced by environment. Consequently multiple genes are required for effective resistance. …

  4. Effects of Soybean Cultivars and Planting Dates on Biomass Production

    … (L.) Merr.] is a valuable source of edible food and organic nitrogen. Soybean cultivar development and cultural practices have been directed toward seed production rather than forage or green manure production. Recent environmental concerns have resulted in renewed interest in the use of organic …

  5. Oats as a Companion Crop for Alfalfa: Establishment Methods

    Companion crops are commomly seeded with alfalfa in the spring as an establishment method. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the performance of seedling Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in terms of yield when grown with spring oats (Avena sativa) as a companion crop and to evaluate the …

  8. Evaluation of the Persistence of Grazing Alfalfa Varieties

    … Alfalfa is the most widely planted legume, and is one of the most nutritional forage crops available. It is proposed that alfalfa was cultivated 4000 to 5000 years ago and produces the most protein per acre of any forage crop. Live weight gains for beef cattle grazing alfalfa average 230 to …

  9. Efficacy of Sucker Control Method and Effect of Topping Height on Axillary Bud Growth in Dark Fire-Cured Tobacco

    The removal of terminal buds (topping) and sucker control are two practices that have an impact on yield and quality of dark tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Topping breaks apical dominance and encourages the growth of axillary buds (suckers). Following topping, growth regulator chemicals known as …
