(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
termite colonies survive fungal invasions. This research focused on founding pairs of primary reproductives when colonies are smallest and there are only two termites. Because most termite colonies invading newer homes in Missouri are started...
Soil characteristics and subsequent corn development following partial corn residue removal in a no-till, corn-soybean rotation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
treatment increased soil ammonium-N concentration, soil water content at R1, minimum and average soil temperature at corn emergence (VE). Early, median and late emerging corn plants of each residue and cover crop treatment were also tracked throughout...
Cotton and maize primary root growth responses to water deficit : comparative physiological and metabolic analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important economic crops that can suffer significant yield loss under drought. Cotton and maize root systems have fundamentally different architectures, in addition ...
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...
