Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
may avoid soil degradation as well as improve soil and water quality. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effects of different perennial vegetative management systems and soil depth (10- cm depth increments from the surface to the 40...
Flower production and effect of flower harvest on berry yields within six American elderberry genotypes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Cultivation of American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is increasing in North America for its use in dietary supplements. While the flowers of European elderberry (S. nigra) are commonly consumed as an anti-viral in ...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
and landscape position, intact soil core samples (76 by 76 mm) were taken from the 0- to 10-, 10- to 20-, and 20- to 30-cm soil depths. For objective 2, soil profile samples were taken at 18 to 19 locations from each of two close-by fields and PAW capacity...
Utilization and limitations of soil health metrics in Missouri corn production decisions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Soil health benefits are widely acknowledged but empirically-vetted connections to agronomic outcomes remain absent. Therefore, recommendations for on-farm soil health assessments and interpretation remain ambiguous. ...
Phosphorus nutrition in tall fescue : from stockpiling to seed production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is the most important forage for beef production in the Midwest. Stockpiling tall fescue allows producers to extend the grazing season and reduce winter-feeding costs. In Missouri, forages ...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Water and soil are two key elements for life on this planet, and improving and preserving their quality are of prime importance. Various human actions including use of intensive chemicals in agriculture have accelerated ...
The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Composition of soybean seeds is important to manufacturers of tofu and natto food products. The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars was measured in Missouri in 2004 and 2005. The ...
Recommended chemical soil test procedures for the north central region (2011)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2011)
Mineralocorticoid receptor involvement in vascular dysfunction associated with vascular injury
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) signaling has recently been implicated in cardiovascular dysfunction associated vascular injury. Specifically, MR blockade has been shown to treat coronary microvascular dysfunction in obesity ...
Determining the efficacy of a biosensor to detect calpastatin, a meat tenderness indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An instrumental tenderness detection system used at the time of grading to sort beef carcasses on their predicted tenderness would be valuable for the beef industry. A biosensor to accurately predict calpastatin, the ...
Genetic basis of isoflavone accumulation during soybean seed development : special focus on water-deficit conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.) seed isoflavones have long been considered a desirable trait to target in selection programs for their contribution to human health and plant defense systems. The plant synthesizes isoflavones ...
Roost site selection by Indiana bats (Myotis sodalis) and comparison of foraging habitat selection by morphologically similar bat species in bottomland hardwood ecosystems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] While bottomland hardwoods used to encompass a large portion of the south-central United States, due to clear cutting for agriculture and other purposes, ...
Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The identification of complementary species combinations will accelerate the expansion of temperate agroforestry. Since the mid-19th century, European timber plantations have taken advantage of the late-leafing habit of ...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The midcontinent of the U.S. is karstified and contains well developed subsurface drainage systems covered by beds of coarse-grained, poorly sorted sediments, resembling those in upland surface streams. Within Tumbling ...
