The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Composition of soybean seeds is important to manufacturers of tofu and natto food products. The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars was measured in Missouri in 2004 and 2005. The environment was altered...
Top-soil root architecture characteristics of obsolete and modern soybean cultivars and shoot and seed nutrient contents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soybean (Glycine max Merr.) is one of the most important cash crops worldwide. It is widely used to produce oil and protein for food and animal feed. Soybean grain...
Recommendations for tree establishment in tall fescue-based silvopasture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Silvopasture offers Midwest landowners the opportunity to plant trees in their pastures without significant loss of forage production. However, much of the pasture in the Midwest is dominated by tall fescue (Schedonorus ...
Comparing the diversity, geographic distribution, and intraspecific variation of subterranean termites (Reticulitermes: Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) occuring in woodlands and urban environments of Missouri using morphology and 16s mtDNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In urban environments they feed upon dead wood, and therefore infest and destroy man-made wooden structures. Missouri is considered to have a moderate risk for termite infestations when compared with the states of the southeast part of the country. Despite...
Comparing mosquito communities of various patch-matrix landscape combinations in central Missouri, with implications for developing models to forecast abundances of important mosquito taxa
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
-matrix landscape combinations common in five central Missouri counties; 2) evaluate the temporal occurrence of these mosquito taxa; 3) assess relationships between regional weather factors and the occurrence and abundance of the mosquito fauna; and 4) categorize...
Glyphosate resistance : pollen movement within a common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) population and herbicide release from common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis sauer) plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Common ragweed and Common waterhemp are native, summer annual weeds distributed widely throughout the United States. Both weed species have developed resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Research was ...
Prairie stream ecology : temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
due to disturbance events. This research focused on expanding the current knowledge of temporal and spatial variation in the macroinvertebrate communities of Missouri prairie streams. Intra-seasonal variation in the macroinvertebrate community of one...
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...
Investigations of the forage nutritive value of common weeds encountered in Missouri pastures and their relationships with soil fertility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
During the 2015, 2016, and 2017 growing seasons, a survey of 63 pastures in Missouri was conducted to determine the effects of selected soil and forage parameters on the density of common annual, biennial, and perennial weed species. Permanent...
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...
Partial characterization of Bt resistance and the bacteriome of western corn rootworm
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) and northern corn rootworm (Diabrotica barberi (Smith and Lawrence)) are major pests of maize in the USA. These pests have been managed with a variety of tactics ...
Influence of herbicide applications and common pasture weeds on total forage yield and nutritive values in tall fescue pastures and hayfields in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
these species are not consumed by cattle and continue to be a problem in Missouri tall fescue pastures and hayfields....
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...
