Effect of irrigation on fertilizer nitrogen requirement, economic returns, and water availability in a corn-soybean rotation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
application. Two irrigation experiments were conducted at University of Missouri Greenley Research Center near Novelty, MO from 2015 to 2018. In each experiment, three irrigation treatments: sprinkler irrigation, subsurface drip irrigation, and no...
Research to advance our understanding of off-target dicamba movement in United States agriculture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
rainwater and dry deposition samples were collected from 12 regions of Missouri. The results of this research found that it is common for dicamba to accumulate in the atmosphere in Missouri and that regional adoption of DR crops is largely responsible...
Herbage accumulation, nutritive value and nitrogen dynamics of a tall fescue forage system with either nitrogen fertilization or intercropped sunn hemp
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Elevated temperatures and declining precipitation during the summer results in tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort., nom. Cons] forage systems limiting cattle...
Interactions between cover crops, herbicides and weeds in soybean production systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
. An identical field experiment was conducted in 2016 in Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin and repeated in Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi and Missouri in 2017 to evaluate the most effective herbicide treatments for spring termination of regionally...
Response of beef cattle selected for tolerance to tall fescue toxicosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.) infected with the endophytic fungus, Epichlooجا coenophiala [(Morgan-Jones & W. Gams) C.W. Bacon & Schardl, comb. nov.] produces ergot alkaloids that result in a ...
Reflectance sensors to predict mid-season nitrogen need of cotton
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for cotton production; consequently there is a tendency to over-apply nitrogen. High N causes excessive vegetative growth and delayed crop maturity, which result in increased cost in ...
Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max (L.) is currently grown throughout the world because it has been adapted to many environments and because of the high protein and oil content...
Detection of phythium spp. in gold course irrigation systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Many Pythium spp. are causal agents of disease on creeping bentgrass putting greens. Phytopathogenic Pythium spp. are known to disseminate through irrigation systems in agricultural settings, and this study provides evidence that Pythium spp. also...
Impact of aphids species and barley yellow dwarf virus on soft red winter wheat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Barley yellow dwarf virus is one of the most widespread viral diseases of wheat. Yield reductions up to 70% have resulted from barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) infection. Several aphid spp. transmit BYDV. In Missouri, the four common aphids...
The biology and ecology of tuber aestivum mycorrhizae establishment in the greenhouse and the field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
systems inoculated with Burgundy truffle (Tuber aestivum). I also report on the effects of two greenhouse seedling production systems on growth and colonization of oak seedlings. I found that book-type containers and a peat-based medium produced smaller...
The influence of fusarium species on sweet potato plant performance, root yield and quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a global important food crop, that has recorded an increase in the consumption, and demand for especially organically produced...
Horticultural crop response to synthetic auxins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Rising adoption of dicamba-tolerant soybeans increases the potential exposure of grapes to dicamba, where off-target injury may occur via particle or vapor drift. In 2017...
Identification and management of glyphosate-resistant annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
bluegrass (hereafter referred to as CCMO1) in Columbia, Missouri survived an application of glyphosate following more than 10 years of continuous applications. Research was conducted in vitro to identify the extent of glyphosate-resistance in CCMO1...
Impact of grazing stockpiled tall fescue of lactating beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Two experiments are described, in which fall-calving cow-calf pairs grazed stockpiled tall fescue at three different endophyte infection levels (20, 51, and 89%) and four forage allowances (2.25, 3.00, 3.75, and 4.50% of BW). A hay feeding treatment...
Vegetation management along roadside and railroad right-of-ways
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
to restrict weed emergence. Field studies in central Illinois (three), Missouri (one), and Kansas (one) were established in 2015 and 2016 to compare fall single versus multiple application timings of residual herbicides from fall through the following summer...
Environmental regulation of the larval diapause of the southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (Lepidoptera : pyralidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
most data have been obtained for species which evolved in temperate regions (Andrewartha, 1952; Lees, 1955; Danilevskii, 1961; Beck, 1968; Mansingh, 1971)- Such species are subjected to marked seasonal changes in photoperiod and temperature. Experiments...
