Field pennycress management in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Field pennycress has the potential to serve as a cover and oilseed crop. A seed oil content of 25 to 36 percent has created interest in pennycress domestication. This research evaluated management strategies for growing ...
Comparing mosquito communities of various patch-matrix landscape combinations in central Missouri, with implications for developing models to forecast abundances of important mosquito taxa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Disease vector population densities, combined with their relationship to landscape characters, will clearly affect the proliferation of arboviruses to humans present in these landscapes. Advanced mapping techniques (e.g., ...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...
Nested association mapping and accuracy of predicting genomic breeding value for agronomic and seed composition traits in three interspecific soybean populations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
increment between 300 and 390 individuals (1%). Marker density had little impact on the prediction accuracy across traits, with a significant increment in prediction accuracy up to 1423 markers (18.5%). The training population design Across all families had...
Efficacy of organic herbicides in agronomic crops and improvement of soil biota with organic production practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
-directed, organic herbicides may provide a viable alternative to continued tillage for weed management in soybean. CHAPTER IV. Response of Soil Biota to Long-term Organic Weed Control Practices. Abstract: Current weed management practices in organic systems...
Factors that influence the movement of Cauliflower mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Since the first description of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), it has been the subject of many research papers, both as a model system for plant ...
Development and improvement of artificial diets for larvae of Diabrotica species using multidimensional design space techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
. This formulation was also compatible for use with all current Bt proteins targeting western corn rootworm larvae. However, this formulation contains corn root powder, which is not available for purchase, limiting the practical use of the diets. We demonstrated...
