The effect of liming an acid soil on the growth of certain legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
the air by symbiotic fixation. A minor experiment was added to determine the effect of quantities of organic matter on the location of nodules. In working on these problems it was found possible to obtain information of other points of interest...
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....
Control of the humus supply of certain important Missouri soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
treatments upon the humus content of Missouri soils two lines of experiment were carried out. First, a study of the effect of crop rotation and manures upon the humus and nitrogen content of soils as evidenced in the rotation plats of the Missouri Experiment...
Influence of characters of ear and kernel upon the germination of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
of the ear and kernel which have a marked influence upon the yield. This is so universal that we have score cards which set forth the ideal type of ear and give certain values to the different characters. In general, the score cards are alike and all agree...
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 ...
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...
Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
sorption and column leaching experiments were performed using soils collected from cropland (crop), grass vegetative buffer strips (VBS), and riparian VBS. Single-point, solid-to-solution partition coefficients (Kd) were determined by reacting soil...
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...
I. Studies with red clover seed as related to color. II. Studies with the impurities found in red clover and alfalfa seed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1908)
to the number and character of the weeds disbursed in this way in Missouri, samples of clover seed were secured from farmers throughout the State and from retail and wholesale seed merchants who supply more or less foreign seed to Missouri farmers....
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 ...
