Three essays on the economics of pesticide use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, the adoption of organic pesticides in lawns and gardens is examined. A multinomial logit model is applied to analyze factors affecting adoption versus being in distinct non-adopter categories using a dataset from a survey of 661 residents in Missouri...
Behavioral responses of drosophila suzukii (diptera: drosophilidae) to olfactory and visual cues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Selected fruit and leaf volatiles were assessed to determine their attractiveness to Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae). Two- and four-choice assays were...
Efficacy of oriental mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern.) seed meal for weed and disease control in turf
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Pest management in turf involves the use of fumigants such as methyl bromide, as well as selective pesticides. However, the loss of methyl bromide and development of disease resistance to fungicides suggests that more integrated practices are needed...
Planting depth within-field soil variability effects on corn stand establishment and yield
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Seedbed conditions during corn (Zea Mays L.) planting can have substantial impact on corn stand establishment and final yield. Optimal stand establishment is associated...
Intelligent orchestration of computation and networking for drone swarm applications

in a Drone Swarm Localizing, Computation Offloading, Control and Networking framework viz., "DroneCOCoNet" to validate the integration benefits in drone-aided applications such as disaster response management and smart farming. Evaluation shows that our...
Genetic mapping of soybean cyst nematode resistance and evaluation of resistant germplasm in soybean and pennycress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
accession, PI 90763. With recent reports demonstrating the significance of PI 90763 in managing SCN through resistance rotation with PI 88788 (rhg1-b), unraveling the genetics governing SCN resistance in PI 90763 is essential. To decode the genetic...
