Hop Establishment Impacted by Mulch Type and Nitrogen Source
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Agronomic research is lacking for hops (Humulus lupulus), especially in North Dakota (ND) and the northern Great Plains, where demand has risen. This research was done to evaluate factors influencing hops establishment in ...
The Relationship Between Appearance Comparisons and Disordered Eating Behaviors: A Proposed Model and a Test of an Intervention
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
One sociocultural factor that has been implicated as a risk factor in the development of eating disorders is a tendency to compare one’s appearance to others’ (appearance-related comparisons). The aims of the current study ...
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Biodegradable Wheat Bran, Maize Bran, and Dried Distillers Grain Arabinoxylan Films
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Arabinoxylans are non-starch polysaccharides in the cell walls of cereal crops including maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Arabinoxylans are produced when maize bran, dried distillers grain, and wheat ...
Developing Methodology to Predict and Increase Grain Protein Content in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A challenge for hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell.) producers is to obtain both high yields and market-required grain protein content (GPC). The ability to accurately predict HRSW yield with ...
Agronomic Studies of Forage Brassicas as Full-Season and Cover Crops for Grazing in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Annual forages represent a good feed resource to extend the grazing season into fall and winter, providing a good quality forage for the livestock, allowing more efficient use of rangeland, and at the same time improving ...
Strategies for Weed Management in Organic Production Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Two field studies were conducted in North Dakota to explore methods to facilitate weed management in organic production systems. No-till farming is gaining popularity in conventional systems; however, organic producers ...
Identification and Introgression of Novel Genes for Stem Rust Ug99 Resistance from Relative Species of Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Wheat stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis Pers.: Pers f. sp. tritici Eriks. & E. Henn. (Pgt), is a destructive disease that can cause severe yield losses in wheat. A new Pgt race Ug99 (TTKSK), which was first identified ...
Marker Assisted Backcross Selection for Virus Resistance in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Viruses are destructive plant pathogens, which cause significant yield loss and reduced grain quality. Pea Seed-borne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV) is an economically important viral disease in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and recently ...
Quantification of Disease Expression Conferred by Three Host Gene-Necrotrophic Effector Interactions in the Wheat-Parastagonospora Nodorum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Septoria nodorum blotch is a wheat foliar and glume disease caused by Parastagonospora nodorum, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen. Snn1-SnTox1, Snn3-B1-SnTox3, and Tsn1-SnToxA are three important interactions between wheat ...
Response of Russet Burbank Seed Tubers Containing Glyphosate and Dicamba Residues
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The introduction of dicamba-tolerant soybean will increase the risk of potato injury to dicamba. The objective was to determine the effects of ‘Russet Burbank’ potato seed tuber emergence and yield that were exposed to ...
