Investigation upon the nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content of three beef animals, with special study upon the forms of sulfur
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
This thesis explores the chemical composition of beef cattle, with special attention given to nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and ash content. A review of previous research is provided as well as a description of an experiment carried out...
Horse flesh and its digestibility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The use of horse flesh as a human food is a custom as old as that of using the flesh of any other food producing animal. Proof of its use by the cave men has been unearthed in Northern Europe by archaeologists. Judging ...
Winter rations for dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
"Comparatively little experimental data are as yet available concerning these problems of raising heifers. The purpose of the author in conducting the experiments reported in this thesis was to add to the data now available regarding the wintering...
Reflectance sensors to predict mid-season nitrogen need of cotton
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for cotton production; consequently there is a tendency to over-apply nitrogen. High N causes excessive vegetative growth and delayed crop maturity, which result in increased cost in ...
Highway impacts on Ozark incomes and employment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1970)
Introduction and problem review: Confronted by depressed economic and social conditions of extensive regions within the United States, the Federal Government through its various agencies is waging "war on poverty." Many ...
Study of the chemical composition of a full-term bovine foetus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
Attention has been frequently directed to the prenatal development of various animals, as well as of man. This embryonic development of the bovine foetus is to be the subject of special investigation by the Agricultural College of the University...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Use of green manures & cover crops for the south
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The problem of restoring the fertility to the worn soils and of maintaining that of the new or fresh soils is perhaps the most serious one with which the farmers of the cotton states are confronted. It is indeed unfortunate ...
Media performance and democratic rule in East Africa : agenda setting and agenda building influences on public attitudes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
attitudes could be undermined by regional variations in political experiences with the central government; and that public opinion could be shaped by regional alignment, ethnicity, political identity, and level of education. A total of 1,395 respondents from...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Plateau of south-central Missouri, and Bear Cave Hollow (BCH), one of TCC's surface drainage streams, bed load entrainment and transport dynamics of mainly siliciclastic material, was evaluated using hydrological measurements and 670 painted tracer...
What is the impact of livelihood strategies on farmers' climate risk perceptions in the Bolivian highlands?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The Andean Highland region in Bolivia possesses a harsh climate environment that is highly variable. This study combines risk perception literature and livelihood strategy literature to examine climate risk perceptions. ...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
are understudied relative to agronomic systems with respect to soil health. The primary objective of this study was to enhance the understanding of forest soil health in the Missouri Ozarks via three research objectives: (1) quantification of the effects...
Factors influencing upland oak advance reproduction in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
in the Missouri Ozarks, we used regression models for estimating the advance reproduction density of red oaks, white oaks, and non-oaks. The abundance of red oak advance reproduction was smaller on northeast-facing slopes and inversely related to soil plant...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
Effects of amending a gravel based growing medium with calcined clay on medium physical properties and growth of Gymnocladus dioicus seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...
The portfolio problem in agricultural cooperatives: an integrated framework
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
