Influence of characters of ear and kernel upon the germination of maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1912)
of the ear and kernel which have a marked influence upon the yield. This is so universal that we have score cards which set forth the ideal type of ear and give certain values to the different characters. In general, the score cards are alike and all agree...

The minimum protein requirement for growing dairy heifers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
with such large farm animals as dairy heifers. Consequently the results cannot be entirely satisfactory from a scientific standpoint. Yet if such experiments are properly controlled they should give results of value both scientifically and practically."...
An environmental assessment of sensor-based variable-rate nitrogen management in corn
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
to account for spatial variability of N within agricultural fields. One approach to account for this variability and thereby reduce nitrate pollution is in-season site-specific N application according to economic optimal N rate (EONR). Recently, active...
