The effect of different nutritive planes upon the economy of gain and the rate of growth of young cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1909)
This investigation was undertaken in order that something might be learned concerning: (a) the cost of maintenance of live weight in ungrown cattle; (b) the effect of a maintenance ration upon the condition of ungrown ...
A study of the physical and chemical properties of the soil as influenced by cowpea culture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1913)
In the past twenty-five years much experimental work has been done with cowpeas, in relation to cultural methods, fertilization, and variety tests, but practically nothing has been written with regard to the direct effect ...
Impacts of municipal wastewater effluent on seed banks, chemistry, and microorganisms of soils excavated from wetland impoundments designated for wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set of greenhouse studies...
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...
The effect of soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply upon the root development of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
After summarizing previous experiments pertaining to soil texture, water supply, and nutrient supply on various plants, specifically grains, he details his own experiments on these effects on the root development of maize. The best growth of plant...
Analysis of twenty-five years of heavy rainfall events in the Texas Hill Country
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
climate stations in the region; the period examined for this study was 1982-2006. Days with measurable precipitation were treated as a gamma distribution in order to determine the top 2%, 1%, and 0.5% to define events as unusual, rare, and extreme...
Playa wetland plant and soil response to predicted climate and land use change in the southern Great Plains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
, and microbial community and structure; (2) compare ecosystem response to changing climatic conditions between Northern (Nebraska) and Southern (Texas) playa soils; and (3) assess effectsof increased agricultural nitrogen inputs on playa plant communities...
Effects of a consortia probiotic inoculant on soil microorganisms and impacts on autoinducers employed in quorum sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Disease control in plant agriculture is largely achieved through application of various antimicrobials. Manipulation of indigenous soil microbial communities received attention as it promises improved pathogen control and enhanced plant outputs...
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 ...
