Evaluation of 1:5 Soil to Water Extract Electrical Conductivity Methods and Comparison to Electrical Conductivity of Saturated Paste Extract
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Conducting a 1 :5 soil:water extract to measure electrical conductivity (EC) is an approach
to assess salinity and is the preferred method used in Australia. However, the influence of
salinity on plant growth is predominantly ...
Impact of Ragl Aphid Resistant Soybeans on Binodoxys communis (Gahan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a Parasitoid of Soybean Aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae )
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
After its discovery in North America during the summer of 2000, the soybean
aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae) became a major pest of the
soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., in most soybean growing regions ...
The Suitability of Warm Mix Asphalt for Use in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Compared to hot mix asphalt (HMA), warm mix asphalt (WMA) offers several potential
benefits, including reduced fossil fuel use and increased workability. The research
presented in this paper examined the suitability of ...
Potential for Industrial Vehicle Electrical Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Synthetic metals are a branch of material science that deals with conducting organic molecules.
The quantum mechanics of these materials show that doping can fundamentally
change the conduction method and significantly ...
"Building a Class Library": Emphasizing Summary in Teaching Source Use
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The study presented here is a qualitative study evaluating four objectives for teaching
source use, ones I emphasized in my Spring 2011 classes with an assignment called the
"Building a Class Library Assignment." I relied ...
Detection of Qol Fungicide Resistance and Genomic Analysis for Identification of Polyketide Synthases and Methyltransferases in Ascochyta rabiei
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Ascochyta blight is the most important disease of chickpeas in North America since the
fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei was introduced to this region in 1986. Ascochyta blight epidemics
can cause yield and economic losses ...
Subsurface Drainage in Clay Soils in a Northern Climate and its Effects on Various Soybean Cultivars and Soil Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The Red River Valley of the North in North Dakota and Minnesota is a region with
unique clay soils. Since 1993, the region has seen increased annual rainfall that has caused
seasonal soil waterlogging, inhibiting crop ...
Assessment of Bacterial Blight Pathogens Prevalent on Dry Bean and Identification of Sources of Resistance to Rhizoctonia Root Rot in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Bacterial blights and root rots are two major diseases affecting dry edible bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in North Dakota and Minnesota (Venette and Lamey
1998). Bacterial blights of dry bean are commonly caused ...
Efficacy and Soil Residual of Herbicides Developed For Optimum GAT (Glyphosate Acetolactate Synthase Tolerant) Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Field experiments were conducted at five Northern Midwest locations to evaluate
one and two pass herbicide programs developed for weed control in Optimum GAT
(Glyphosate Acetolactate Synthase Tolerant) corn (Zea mays ...
Evaluating the Effects of Rail Preemption Strategies on Highway Safety and Operations
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Previous research related to signal preemption near highway-rail grade crossings
has emphasized safety considerations, which are paramount due to the severity of potential
train-vehicle collisions. The purpose of this ...
