Item A report of sugar beet research in southeast Missouri, 1969(University of Missouri--Columbia. Agricultural Experiment Station., 1970) Roth, James A. (James Alouis); Kerr, Harold D.; Keaster, Armon J."Sugar beet research was conducted by the University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station at the Delta Center near Portageville in 1969. Experiments included varieties, weed control, soil fertility, fungicides for control of cercospora leaf spot, row spacing, water infiltration, irrigation, fumigants, insecticides, and rhizoctonia control. Selection in breeding stock was made in the field for resistance to the root knot nematode, after which it was screened in the greenhouse. Sugar be et experiments were conducted on three of the major soil types of southeast Missouri."--Page 1.Item Missouri crop performance, 2015 : soybean(University of Missouri. Agriculture Experiment Station, 2015) Wiebold, William J.; Mason, Howard; Knerr, Delbert R.; Schwab, David; Schelp, William; Caldwell, Ben"Each year, the best seed companies and organizations select several of their best varieties for evaluation by the MU Variety Testing Program. We use the latest scientific principles and procedures to provide farmers and others with an interest in soybean variety performance with accurate and unbiased information."--From Preface.Item Missouri crop performance, 2015 : corn(University of Missouri.

Agriculture Experiment Station, 2011) Wiebold, William J.; Mason, Howard L.; Knerr, Delbert R.; Hasty, Richard W.; Schwab, David M.; Angotti, Jeremy; Schelp, William"The large number of commercial hybrids available makes selection of a superior hybrid difficult. To select intelligently, producers need a reliable, unbiased, up-to-date source of information that will permit valid comparisons among available hybrids. The objective of the MU Variety Testing Program is to provide this information. The tests are conducted under the most nearly uniform conditions possible. Small plots are used to reduce the chance of soil and climatic variations occurring between one hybrid plot and another. Results obtained should aid the individual grower in judging the relative merits of many of the commercial corn hybrids currently available in Missouri."--Page 3.Item Missouri crop performance, 2010 : soybean(University of Missouri. Agriculture Experiment Station, 2010) Wiebold, William J.; Mason, Howard L.; Knerr, Delbert R.; Hasty, Richard W.; Schwab, David M.; Angotti, Jeremy; Schelp, William"The large number of varieties available makes selection of a superior variety difficult. To select intelligently, producers need a reliable, unbiased, up-to-date source of information that will permit valid comparisons among available varieties. The objective of the MU Variety Testing Program is to provide this information. Tests are conducted under as close to uniform conditions as possible. Small plots are used to reduce the chance of soil and other variations occurring among variety plots. Results obtained should aid the individual grower in judging the relative merits of many of the commercial varieties available in Missouri."--Page 3.
