Comparison of three tall fescue-based stocker systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
and DISTILLERS (P = 0.51), but greater than CONTROL (P = 0.01). The ADG for steers in the spring set was 0.79, 0.81, and 0.62 kg for DISTILLERS, SILAGE, and CONTROL, respectively. For the fall set, ADG for all three treatments was different (P = 0.02). The fall...
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 ...
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 ...
Associations between Wolbachia, maize and Diabrotica virgifera virgifera
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Diabrotica virgifera virgifera which is infected with Wolbachia, is the most significant and widespread pest to maize in North America and Europe. Wolbachia are obligate intracellular bacteria which seem to be limited to ...
Cover crop and rotation intensity effects on soil health and yield in corn-soybean cropping systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In the Midwest, corn-soybean [Glycine max (L). Merrill] is the dominant biennial cropping system, which covers approximately 75% of the arable land surface (Hatfield et al., 2007; Plourde et al., 2013). The growing demand ...
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] ...
Cotton and maize primary root growth responses to water deficit : comparative physiological and metabolic analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important economic crops that can suffer significant yield loss under drought. Cotton and maize root systems have fundamentally different architectures, in addition ...
Extracellular ATP, apyrase and nodulation of non-legumes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
could elicit a cellular response, the actual production of extacellular ATP by plants had not been documented. Extracellular ATP (eATP) on the surface of legume roots was visualized through the use of a novel reporter protein consisting of a cellulose...
Research to advance our understanding of off-target dicamba movement in United States agriculture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The commercialization of dicamba-resistant (DR) crops and subsequent increase in post-emergent applications of dicamba has contributed to millions of acres of dicamba injury to sensitive plant species since 2016. The ...
Prairie stream ecology : temporal and spatial patterns of macroinvertebrates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Tallgrass prairie streams and their fauna are understudied, due in part to their rarity. The composition of prairie stream communities differs geographically due to regionally and locally determined environmental characteristics ...
The influence of fusarium species on sweet potato plant performance, root yield and quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is a global important food crop, that has recorded an increase in the consumption, and demand for especially ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Plant-parasitic cyst nematodes establish intimate parasitic relationships with their hosts by penetrating the root as motile juveniles and migrating ...
Response of beef cattle selected for tolerance to tall fescue toxicosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.) infected with the endophytic fungus, Epichlooجا coenophiala [(Morgan-Jones & W. Gams) C.W. Bacon & Schardl, comb. nov.] produces ergot alkaloids that result in a ...
The biology and ecology of tuber aestivum mycorrhizae establishment in the greenhouse and the field
