Effects of Pretreatments on Separating the Seed Coat from the Cotyledon of Black Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Separation of seed coat from the cotyledon could result in an additional black bean food ingredient. The objective of this study was to develop a standard milling procedure that can achieve optimum seed coat removal from ...
Yield-Limiting Factors in North Dakota Soybean Fields
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Average soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] yields in North Dakota remain below north central USA averages, and crop yield potentials. The effect of planting date (PD), cultivar relative maturity (RM), and seeding rate (SR), ...
Environmental Conditions, Variety, and Application Timing Influence on S-Metolachlor Sugarbeet Crop Safety
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Glyphosate-resistant weeds in North Dakota and Minnesota sugarbeet growing regions have necessitated research on S-metolachlor. S-metolachlor can be applied early-postemergence in sugarbeet but has not been labeled ...
Evaluation and Propagation of Carex Species for Use in Rain Gardens
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A study was conducted to evaluate cyclical flood and drought on the growth of seven sedge species. A second study was conducted to determine if perigynia removal would accelerate germination for four sedge species. Results ...
Distillers Byproduct Compared to Other Nitrogen Sources as a Fertilizer for Corn
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Corn (Zea mays L.) based ethanol and associated byproducts like wet (WDG) production has increased over the past decade. Research was conducted in five environments in North Dakota to determine the nitrogen (N) fertilization ...
Are You a Good Partner? Using the Situation Judgment Test Method to Identify and Measure Romantic Competence
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
We devised a measure seeking to assess competency within romantic relationships using a scenario-based paradigm that was informed by the situation judgment test (SJT) and emotional intelligence literatures. Pilot data ...
Genetics of Drought Tolerance in Hard Red Spring Wheat in the Northern United States of America
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Drought affects about 50% of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) globally and is a major threat for sustainable wheat production. This dissertation discusses three studies carried out to dissect drought tolerance in hard red ...
Soybean Response to Nitrogen and Sulfur Fertilization
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill.] yields in North Dakota have not yet reached their genetic potential. Applying fertilizers may increase yields. This study was conducted to understand the impact of nitrogen (N) and sulfur ...
Genetic Studies of Winter Hardiness in Pisum sativum L.
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is valued for its high protein content and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The use of pea as a green manure and cover crop in rotations has been increasing. Pea is grown as a winter crop but current ...
Characterization and Manipulation of the Wheat B Genome
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Common wheat originated from interspecific hybridization of three diploid ancestors followed by spontaneous chromosome doubling. Aegilops speltoides (genome SS) has been controversially considered a possible candidate for ...
