Managing scientific change in agricultural policies: soil productivity, resource conservation and the legitimation of agrobiology
… conditions presiding over conceptual changes in soil sciences in Québec since 1960, and the legitimation of research in agrobiology. At the beginning of the seventies, researchers in soil sciences opted for a physico-chemical interpretation of soil fertility phenomena and for a scientific …

Factors Affecting Within-plant Variation of Cotton Fiber Quality and Yield
Cotton is sold by weight, but a bale’s lint price per pound is determined by its fiber quality profile. Cotton quality is defined by a set of standardized properties (length, strength, elongation, uniformity, color, trash, and micronaire) collected on every United States bale. Each cotton fiber is …

Grazing impacts on sediment production and runoff from single and mixed species grazing
… effect of animal activity by monitoring selected soil characteristics/properties; and to characterize the soil properties that could be affecting water erosion and P movement in runoff water. The main hypothesis was that the single species grazing system would generate higher environmental impact …

Developing Hybrid Cotton (Gossypium spp.) Using Honey Bees as Pollinators and Roundup Ready® Gene as Selection Trait
Cotton (Gossypium spp.), the most important textile fiber crop in the United States (US), is cultivated in 17 states across the southern US. and a very important agricultural commodity for several states. The use of hybrids in the US has been limited due to seed cost production. The objective of …

Control of two perennial grasses in southern turfgrasses
Knotgrass (Paspalum distichum L.) and torpedograss (Panicum repens L.) are perennial grasses that are extremely difficult to remove in established turfgrass. Studies were conducted to determine the potential for controlling these troublesome perennial weeds. Pot studies were conducted for two years …

Phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of sweetpotatoes [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]
The influence of numerous factors on sweetpotato phenolic content and antioxidant activity was determined. Simplified, robust, and rapid methodologies were developed to quantify total phenolics and individual phenolic acids in sweetpotatoes. Quantification of total phenolic content using …

Quantitative trait loci mapping for agronomic and fiber quality traits in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) using molecular markers
The breeding of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars that combine high yield and fiber quality is a major challenge to the breeder. The understanding of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) contributing to agronomic and fiber quality traits offers an excellent route to solve this problem. A …

Sugarcane growth, sucrose content, and yield response to the ripeners glyphosate and trinexapac-ethyl
Under Louisiana climatic conditions, production of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is limited to a maximum growth period of nine months. To increase sucrose concentration in the crop, ripener is applied prior to harvest. The chemical ripeners, glyphosate and trinexapac-ethyl were applied to the …
