Seeding Date, Maturity Rating, and Location Influence on Soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr.)) Performance and Phenology in Eastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
In North Dakota, soybean is typically planted in mid to late May; however, a late spring frost or flooding event may cause a grower to plant late, or replant their crop. The objective of this research was to determine the ...
Nitrogen Fertilizer Types and Application Timing on Hard Red Spring Wheat Productivity and Grain Protein
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The balance of improving hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell) yield while maintaining grain protein concentration continues to be a challenge in agriculture. The objective of the field research was to ...
Molecular and Histological Study of Sphaerulina musiva-Populus spp. Interaction
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Sphaerulina musiva, the causal agent of leaf spot and stem canker, is responsible for critical yield loss of hybrid poplar in agroforestry. This research examined quantification of S. musiva in host tissue, and infection ...
Identification of Brassica Napus L. Sources of Resistance Against Blackleg (Leptosphaeria Maculans)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Blackleg, caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et de Not. [anamorph = Phoma lingam (Tode: Fr.) Desm.] has become the most important disease affecting canola around the world. A study was conducted to ...
Nitrogen Fertilizer Timing, Rate, and Source Effects on Corn and Wheat Production in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Experiments were conducted in 2015-2016 to determine if yield and protein concentration in corn (Zea mays L.) and hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) could be enhanced through different nitrogen (N) fertilizer ...
Parasitic Fitness of SDHI-Sensitive and -Resistant Isolates of Alternaria Solani
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Early blight of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is caused by Alternaria solani Sorauer. The single-site mode of action chemistries of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) and quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) have ...
Genetic Mapping of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Streak in Triticale
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu), is an important disease of wheat worldwide. The best way to control this disease in the field is the use of resistant cultivars. Although ...
