Interactions between cover crops, herbicides and weeds in soybean production systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
. An identical field experiment was conducted in 2016 in Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin and repeated in Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi and Missouri in 2017 to evaluate the most effective herbicide treatments for spring termination of regionally...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...
Field pennycress management in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
increased yield in this one-year experiment. Residue and tillage management will be important in future field pennycress research. This research has identified potential seeding date, pre- and postemergence herbicide safety to field pennycress as well...
Grasshopper and bee communities on Missouri prairies : comparing reconstructions and remnants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Tallgrass prairies once occupied a large swath of central North America, but now face the combined challenges of habitat loss and fragmentation. In Missouri, where less than 1% the historical prairie remains, prairies are being reconstructed from...
Resource extraction, resistance, and religion in Nicaragua
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
mining, especially related to economic threats and grievances tied to environmental and agricultural concerns, it will likely continue its resistance movement until it sees policy changes that halt or overturn mining concessions in the community. However...
The influence of fusarium species on sweet potato plant performance, root yield and quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a global important food crop, that has recorded an increase in the consumption, and demand for especially organically produced...
Evaluating and improving corn nitrogen fertilizer recommendation tools across the U.S. Midwest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Determining which corn (Zea mays L.) nitrogen (N) recommendation tools best predict the economically optimal N rate (EONR) would be valuable for maximizing profits and minimizing environmental consequences. The objectives ...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
termite colonies survive fungal invasions. This research focused on founding pairs of primary reproductives when colonies are smallest and there are only two termites. Because most termite colonies invading newer homes in Missouri are started...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
