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 ...
Fatty acid variation between forage species and within populations and fatty acid content of beef finished on pasture with different forage species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
We describe two experiments; the first experiment was conducted in a greenhouse where four forage species - orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), tall fescue [Lollium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbysh = Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort...
Viability, vigor, and field performance of a low phytic acid, high phytase activity soybean line, CAPPA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
study measured the vegetative and reproductive dry mass gain for each entry from the R5-R8 stages. Laboratory vigor experiments involving standard germination, accelerated aging, cold test, electrical conductivity, and tetrazolium testing were conducted...
Efficacy of oriental mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern.) seed meal for weed and disease control in turf
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
to 81% and 10 to 99% for all weed and turfgrass species tested in both field and greenhouse experiments, respectively. Rates of MSM [less than] 840 kg/ha reduced dollar spot counts from 50 to 74% compared to the untreated control and also increased...
