Assessment of enhanced efficiency urea products on maize in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Urea is the most commonly used N fertilizer, but has been found to be easily lost to the environment through volatilization and leaching. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEF) have been developed to help prevent these ... -
Development of high-throughput phenotyping tools to enhance soybean yields
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Increasing yield is the primary objective of most crop breeding programs and yield is often the primary selection criterion. In drought-prone environments, ... -
Differences in seedling vigor among diverse cotton genotypes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Stand establishment and early vigor are critical to the successful production of cotton. However, there is a lack of information on the genetics and ... -
Effect of temperature on a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] mutant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean is influenced by temperature and light, and global warming has been shown to reduce soybean yields. In this study we tested the germination of ... -
Evaluation of pre-formulated micronutrients products and their interactions with glyphosate on corn growth and yield
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pre-formulated micronutrient fertilizer products are advertised to improve yields and may increase the nutritional content of Missouri's crops. The ... -
Increasing soybean yields through management and the role for nitrogen fixation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A high yield soybean experiment was conducted to compare the management intensive practices of recent soybean record holder, Kip Cullers, to conventional production practices in 2008 to 2010. Preplant fertilizer applications ... -
Influence of Manganese and other micronutrients on soybean yield and seed quality
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean (Gycine max [L.] Merr.) is the most popular oil seed crop in the United States and is the most widely planted row crop in the state of Missouri. ... -
Managing sweet sorghum for optimum ethanol yield in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Sweet sorghum has the potential in Missouri for production as a biofuel feedstock, but little is known of the crop's yields and appropriate nitrogen management for optimizing ethanol yields. This thesis is a collection of ... -
Multispectral canopy reflectance and digital imaging to determine maturity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Soybean breeders and producers may benefit from approaches that can quickly and quantitatively measure soybean developmental stages. To better predict developmental stages, seasonal dynamics of soybean canopies were ...
