An analysis of livestock marketing patterns in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1960)
"Missouri is fortunate in its strategic location near the heart of the grain belt east of the Great plains cattle producing areas and on the western fringe of concentrated centers of population. A combination of favorable factors have contributed...
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...

(2014-09-30)
coordinates of that area are: North 14.403, West 10.815, East 24.219, and South 7.328. Agricultural productivity country summary data for Chad was obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. Other data sets, including...
Visit motivations and perceived benefits of farms, private forests and state/national parks in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
This study explored the variability in visit motivations and perceived benefits of Missouri households from three natural settings: (1) Farms; (2) Private Forests; and (3) State/National Parks. Specific goals of this study were: (1) To describe...
Development of implementation methods of water quality trading policy : using the Hydrological simulation program-Fortran (HSPF)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
-fortran (HSPF) was used to estimate the hydrology and sediment loading throughout the Brush Creek, MO watershed for future land use development scenarios between upstream and downstream locations. Brush Creek does not have a proper monitoring station...
Elephant in the room : a study of the impact of emotional experiences on burnout among Chinese reporters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
and reporters' experience of engaging in surface acting magnify their levels of job burnout. Meanwhile, the use of problem-focused coping strategies can reduce reporters' job burnout caused by emotional labor engagement. Findings in this study fill the gap...
Dissipation and carryover of imidazolinone herbicides in imidazolinone-resistant rice (Oryza sativa)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The development of Imidazolinone (IMI) Resistant (IR) rice now allows rice producers to selectively control red rice (Oryza sativa, O. rufipogon, and O.nivara), weedy relatives of commercial rice (O. sativa). Imazethapyr ...

Effects of essential oils on the performance, health, and feeding behavior of growing cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
. Essential oils are reported to alter ruminal fermentation (Hart et al., 2008) and animal performance (Calsamiglia et al., 2007). There is also evidence to suggest that EOs may manipulate feeding behavior in cattle (Tager and Krause, 2011). An experiment...
Evaluation of soy hulls as the principal ingredient in a beef cattle receiving ration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Adjusting cattle to grain based diets from predominately forage diets remains one of the production problems facing beef cattle producers. When cattle are introduced to grain based diets they have a tendency to experience health problems...
The effect of age and condition on the mineral composition of the ash of the bovine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
and in most cases incomplete. Furthermore, a great deal of the data as presented by various investigators cannot be compared because of lack of uniformity in reporting results as well as in the selection of samples for analysis. Forbes in his bulletin on "The...
An assessment of the light and nutrient regimes constraining phytoplankton dynamics in Missouri reservoirs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Worldwide, nutrient pollution, or eutrophication, is one of the most pervasive environmental issues threatening water quality. Anthropogenic influences, primarily urbanization and agriculture, have drastically increased inputs of bioavailable...

Quantifying suspended sediment loading in a mid-Missouri urban watershed using laser particle diffraction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
/water-quality stations were installed in a nested-scale watershed study design to capture differing land-use type influences on SSC. Mean SSCs were estimated to be 66.0, 70.0, and 86.0 [mu]l/l for the headwater (agricultural), suburban (mixed land-use), and urban sub...
