Agronomic and pest interactions in no-till corn and soybean wih fall versus spring herbicide applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
compared fall herbicide applications to early spring applications. Therefore, field experiments were conducted in both no-till corn and soybean fields from 2004 through 2006 in central, northwest, and northeast Missouri. Herbicide applications were made...
Grapevine trunk disease in Missouri vineyards : prevalence and causality of fungal species by cultivar
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
's Postulates were evaluated in a greenhouse by inoculating shoots of Vitis interspecific hybrid cultivar Vignoles, the most widely planted white grape cultivar in Missouri. Shoots were inoculated and placed in a greenhouse for ten days. All shoots inoculated...
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...
Vegetation management along roadside and railroad right-of-ways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
to restrict weed emergence. Field studies in central Illinois (three), Missouri (one), and Kansas (one) were established in 2015 and 2016 to compare fall single versus multiple application timings of residual herbicides from fall through the following summer...
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...
Allelopathic effects and removal of overseeded ryegrass on bermudagrass

The semiaquatic heteroptera (Gerromorpha) of Thailand : faunistics, biogeography and phylogeography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Semiaquatic heteropterans (Gerromorpha) were collected from mountain streams and waterfalls and lowland ponds adjacent to the mountains were collected from 2002 to 2006. One hundred fifty-eight species representing 31 ...
The sublethal effects of ecdysone agonists on the attractiveness, responsiveness, fertility and fecundity of oriental fruit moth, a comparative examination with codling moth on larval feeding damage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The ecdysone agonists methoxyfenozide and tebufenozide are designed to affect the larval stage of Lepidopteran pests. Recent studies have reported sublethal effects on the adults of several tortricid apple tree pests exposed ...
Novel approaches in macroinvertebrate biomonitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
are influenced by seasonal variability. Two separate studies are presented to address aspects of biological monitoring that are seldom studied. The first study focused on evaluation of Grass Riparian Filter Strip effectiveness in north central Missouri. Streams...
