Assessment of stockpiling methods to increase late summer and early fall forage biomass
… designed to assess different aspects of summer stockpiling. Experiment 1 evaluated the effects of summer stockpiling endophyte infected Kentucky 31 tall fescue on biomass and nutritive value of tall fescue forage. Treatments included four whole plot treatments (two nitrogen (N) application …

Management and nutritional quality of tall fescue and alfalfa grown in combination, compared to tall fescue fertilized with nitrogen
… Effects of grazing and timing of initiation of stockpiling forages were investigated during autumn of 1992. Rate and extent of release of Ca, Mg, P, S, Cu, and Fe from stockpiled forages were determined in a dacron bag study in 1992-93. In 1991-92, stockpiled N-fertilized fescue improved steer …

Essays on consumer behavior in retail stores
… resulting from a sale is in large part due to stockpiling motives. For example, using field experiment data, the estimated increase in consumption (net of stockpiling) is close to zero for the product categories mouthwash, diapers, and chocolate. I also identify a selection bias when one uses …

Optimal inventory model for managing demand-supply mismatches for perishables with stochastic supply
… goods are perishable, which implies that merely stockpiling inventory of either item, without paying attention to potential inventory losses, cannot be an optimal strategy. In developing countries, the supplier base for perishables like milk, fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc. mostly comprise of …

Impact of grazing stockpiled tall fescue of lactating beef cows
… is maximized. Additionally, if used for winter stockpiling, renovation of endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures for fall-calving operations is unneeded in most cases.
