Responses of two grass species to plant growth regulators, fertilizer N, chelated Fe, salinity and water stress
… PGR properties were a commercial product called Roots (a cold-water extract of seaweed and peat humus fortified with "intermediate metabolites" and thiamine) and the systemic fungicide propiconazole, trade name: (Banner) and chemical name: [1- …

Influence of seaweed extract and other plant growth regulators on growth, persistence, and quality of tall fescue and their potential to alleviate tall fescue toxicity to livestock
… studies varied but indicated increased (P ≤ .05) root strength and decreased (P ≤ .01) pressure required to extract moisture from leaves due to treatment. Analysis from greenhouse and field studies indicated little effect on fiber components, nonstructural carbohydrates, and crude protein. In tall …

Tensile strength and elastic modulus of tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) grass roots
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2027-08-01

Understanding plant water relations and root biomechanics for hydro-mechanical reinforcement of slopes
… via both mechanical reinforcement (through root anchorage) and hydrologic reinforcement (through transpiration-induced soil matric suction). However, relatively little is known about the effectiveness of different plant species in stabilising soil slopes via the two reinforcing mechanisms, …

New methods for <i>in situ </i>measurement of mechanical root-reinforcement on slopes
… landsliding. The mechanical contribution of roots to the shear strength of the soil is however difficult to measure in situ. Existing methodologies are time-consuming and therefore not suitable to quantify spatial variability on the slope. Furthermore, some existing methods, for example large …

Statistical modeling of rare stochastic disturbance events at continental and global scales: post-fire debris flows and wildland fires
… due to increased runoff and/or decreases in root strength, resulting in smaller volumes and increased probability of failure, 2) fire increases the probability and frequency of debris flows, causing their distribution to shift toward smaller events due to limitations in sediment supply. …

Evaluation of additive and nonadditive genetic variation in elite maize germplasm for root, shoot, and ear characteristics
… use efficiency, disease resistance, stalk and root strength, as well as generally improved performance under a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. Ten proprietary and two public inbreds were evaluated with a generation means design emanating from the diallel cross of the 12 parents. Parental …
