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....
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...
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...
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...
Assessing impacts and targeting of agricultural conservation practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The U.S. Department of Agriculture initiated the Conservation Effects Assessment Project in 2003 to quantify water quality and wildlife benefits of conservation programs funded by the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act. This study examined...
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...
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...
Elemental concentration changes in soil and stockpiled tall fescue leaves after liming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of stockpiled tall fescue. Others have predicted that liming will increase P and decrease aluminum (Al) availability to plants in the types of soils used in this study. Study sites were located at the University of Missouri's Southwest Center (SWC) and Bradford...
