To evaluate the effects of municipal wastewater effluent (WWE) and Missouri River water (MOR) as irrigation sources on soil chemistry, seed banks, and microorganisms, a field study was conducted in conjunction with a set of greenhouse studies...

. In this study, an optical rainfall imaging system was used to determine the drop-size distributions (DSDs) of natural rain in Missouri. These observations have been compared to those from an indoor gravity rainfall simulator. This thesis reports the results...

Development of improved management practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) within agricultural fields is needed to improve crop production and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Field studies planted to maize were conducted in 2005 and 2006...

The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...

. These methods were tested in the upland landscapes of northern Missouri. Sensors, especially DRS, successfully estimated profile clay and organic carbon. Peak functions were valuable for modeling profile clay content and covariates of clay. Coherent depth...

of stockpiled tall fescue. Others have predicted that liming will increase P and decrease aluminum (Al) availability to plants in the types of soils used in this study. Study sites were located at the University of Missouri's Southwest Center (SWC) and Bradford...

The research was conducted to examine the impact of GR soybean treated with glyphosate on rhizobacterial activities involved in IAA production and soil C and N mineralization in different soil management systems; to determine ...

Models (DEM's) to produce Digital Terrain Models (DTM's) in the Missouri Ozarks. Terrain models produced from several DEM sources were evaluated for their accuracy in predicting slope, aspect and landforms on a 3691 ha area. The DEM's created from USGS...
