Influence of herbicides application on weed and tall fescue management and grazing distribution in Missouri pastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
One weed that is of concern in Missouri pastures that can be detrimental is Northern dewberry (Rubus flagellaris Willd.). This weed can be detrimental due its production of spines which can injure grazing animals and also humans. Results from our...
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...
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...
Allelopathic effects and removal of overseeded ryegrass on bermudagrass
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
is essential for bermudagrass recovery or decline of bermudagrass is inevitable. However, underlying reasons for this decline is unknown. Objectives of this research were to assess allelopathic effects of ryegrasses on bermudagrass and determine best management...
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...
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...
Novel approaches in macroinvertebrate biomonitoring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
are influenced by seasonal variability. Two separate studies are presented to address aspects of biological monitoring that are seldom studied. The first study focused on evaluation of Grass Riparian Filter Strip effectiveness in north central Missouri. Streams...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Semiaquatic heteropterans (Gerromorpha) were collected from mountain streams and waterfalls and lowland ponds adjacent to the mountains were collected from 2002 to 2006. One hundred fifty-eight species representing 31 ...
