Relation of lime and magnesium to plant growth in Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1906)
The relation of lime and magnesium to each other in plant growth is a problem over which the Agronomist and Plant Physiologist have stumbled for some time, and before its solution is finally reached, will likely involve the consideration of several...
Apple orchards of Missouri : soils and varieties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the apple soils of Missouri; telling why some are better than others for growing fruit, giving their locations, and also discussing the varieties best suited to these sections. In ...
The amount of edible meat in the various cuts from animals of known life histories
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This series of experiments was undertaken with the thought of studying the composition of the different cuts of meat from the housekeeper's standpoint, to determine what cut of meat will furnish the most edible meat for a given amount of money....
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
. It has been supposed that the peas are beneficial to a companion crop as, for example, corn. Some have expressed the belief that cowpeas are capable of producing a loosening effect upon the soil. Still others claim that the continuous cropping land...
Anthropogenic effects on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
and microclimate as a result of clearcutting. However, reductions in available phosphorous and acid phosphomonoesteratase activity present a potential scenario of concern for the long-term prognosis for phosphorus cycling in the area with repeated forest harvest...
A study of emergency management policy regarding the use of tornado sirens during severe weather in the state of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
-tornadic weather events. This occurs because many counties use their tornado sirens for reasons other than to alert citizens specifically of the immediate threat of tornadoes. Using a survey and archival research to gather information such as the jurisdiction...
Use of green manures & cover crops for the south
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
. The original fertility of a soil is dependent upon two things, viz: its natural strength and its physical condition. The first of these - the natural strength, is determined by the readiness with which the insoluble plant food in a soil becomes available...
Methods for high-resolution soil-landscape modeling in midwest upland landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
units. This work proposes a strategy combining sensors and empirical functions of profile properties to develop high resolution 3-D models of soil landscapes. The strategy proceeds in three steps as follows: 1) estimate soil profile properties at high...
Control of the humus supply of certain important Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
the crop yields are rapidly decreasing as a result of this, while in other localities it is not as yet evidenced in the crop yields to a perceptible degree, but in either case it demands attention, for it is much easier to maintain a natural humus supply...
Effects of a consortia probiotic inoculant on soil microorganisms and impacts on autoinducers employed in quorum sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
. Another promising tool in disease control is disrupting quorum sensing (QS)-controlled pathogenicity expression. In this work, efficacies of a consortia probiotic soil amendment (CP) were evaluated: (1) impact on soil microbial diversity; (2) capacity...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
defined nature. Utilizing a Digital Elevation Model of present-day surface and a model of pre-occupation surface generated with soil profile data, it was possible to calculate the differences between the two surfaces and determine a volume of soil removed...
Utilization and limitations of soil health metrics in Missouri corn production decisions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
derive from a dataset collected over three seasons (2018-2020) including 446 sample locations collected from 101 Mid-Missouri commercial row crop systems. Current P and K fertilizer recommendations accurately identified where fertilizer improved yield...
Greenhouse gas emissions and soil microbial activity for selected land use systems in floodplains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
) to determine the effect of land management practices on soil enzyme activity in three selected land management systems agroforestry [pecan (Carya illinoinensis) orchard/ hay (AF)], a riparian forest area (RF), and row-crop agriculture {corn [Zea mays L...
Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in four representative...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Prescribed fire is commonly applied to meet a variety of forest management objectives, including the restoration and maintenance of Oak (Quercus spp.) woodlands. In the Ozark Highlands, private landowners, conservation organizations, and government...
