Droplet Size Effect on Herbicide Used in Cereals to Control Dicotyledonous Weeds
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of droplet size on the efficacy of translocated and non-translocated herbicides. Translocated and non-translocated herbicides provided similar control when comparing droplet ...
Phytoremediation of Soils Contaminated by Oil and Gas Drilling and Production Operations Using Grass Species
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Soil contaminated by crude oil or drill cuttings poses a threat to ecosystem. The objective of this study was to test tolerance levels of grass species to drill cuttings and crude oil in seed germination and at the 5-leaf ...
Propagation of American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch.)
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
American Hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch) is an underutilized ornamental landscape tree with limited species improvement partially as a result of a lack of a clonal propagation protocol and its slower growth ...
Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Interaction Analysis: A Critical Step for Wheat Germplasm Enhancement
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses the largest set of available alloplasmic lines in either the plant or animal kingdom. These alloplasmic lines consist of novel combinations of wheat cultivar nuclei and cytoplasm, derived ...
Raised Beds, Tile Drainage, and Nitrogen Fertilizer Management on Corn Yield in Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Surface drainage, tillage, and different nitrogen fertilizer rates and management practices can influence corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of subsurface drainage, ...
Marker Assisted Selection Increases the Efficiency of Breeding for Potato Virus Y Resistance in Potato
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an important virus of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission by aphids causing yield losses. Genetic resistance is the recommended control since insecticides cannot adequately control ...
Genetic Dissection and Molecular Approaches of Root Morphology of Canola
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The inheritance of root vigor and days to flowering were studied in the F2 populations derived from winter- and spring-type crosses and their reciprocal crosses. Root vigor was found to be controlled by three genes whereas, ...
Micropropagation of the Relict Genus Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllaceae)
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Focusing on various aspects of micropropagation with respect to well represented genotypes within Cercidiphyllum, this study is an attempt to broaden the experimental knowledge of the genus. The Tertiary relict Cercidiphyllum ...
