Soybean Leaf Chlorophyll Estimation and Iron Deficiency Field Rating Determination at Plot and Field Scales Through Image Processing and Machine Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is the most common reason for chlorosis in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and causes an average yield loss of 120 million dollars per year across 1.8 million ha in the North Central US ...
Increased Oil Recovery from Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles and Whole Stillage
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Finding a viable method to recover oil from the corn ethanol industry's co-products has considerable economic prospects for ethanol bio-refineries. This study examined the effects of enzymes and ethanol on oil recovery ...
Optimization of Methane Yield in Solid-State Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Dairy Manure and Corn Stover
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Sole dependence on fossil fuel and the concomitant environmental concerns could be minimized through the optimization of green energy generation from the growing volume of onfarm organic wastes. In this mesophilic study, ...
Characterization of Biochar from Different Feedstocks under Low and High Temperature and Their Effects on Greenhouse Gas Emission and Ammonia Volatilazation from Soil Incubation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Biochar is a potential soil amendment that likely to reduce GHG emissions from land application to soil, but their properties depend on biomass types and pyrolysis temperature. In this study, biochars were produced from ...
Income and Price Effect on Bilateral Trade and Consumption Through Expenditure Channel: A Case of Chickpea
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Income and price affect chickpea trade expenditure and consumption expenditure share respectively. An empirical model was estimated to examine the trade effect through the expenditure channel using Almost Ideal Demand ...
The Effects of Estrus on Dry Matter Intake and Feeding Behavior in Beef Heifers of Divergent Sizes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The biological process of estrus in cattle is known to initiate behavioral responses as a result of fluctuations in hormones, which may alter time budgeted for feeding. The current study aimed to quantify these variations ...
Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) Identification Using Hyperspectral Imaging Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Palmer amaranth is a troublesome weed in modern day agriculture. Timely identification, along with adoption of site-specific weed management practices, will enable farmers to reduce Palmer amaranth control costs and improve ...
Examining the Potential of the GALR2 Genotype as a Marker-Assisted Management Strategy to Improve Production Efficiencies and Carcass Characteristics in Crossbred Angus Finishing Steers
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The objective was to determine how the interaction of implant strategies with the galanin receptor 2 genotype would influence feeding behavior, production efficiencies, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in finishing ...
Impacts of Banamine Injection on Pain Responses of Either Rubber Ring Castrated and Tail Docked or Surgically Castrated and Docked Lambs
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Our hypothesis was that administering Flunixin Meglumine (FM) to lambs that were both rubber ring castrated and docked or surgically castrated and emasculator docked would decrease behavioral stress, serum cortisol, ...
Effects of Feeding 60% Dried Corn Distillers Grains Plus Solubles on Yearling Bull Reproduction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Thirty-six half-sibling Angus bulls were assigned one of three diets: 1) 60% corn-based (CON; S = 0.18%; n = 12); 2) 60% DDGS replacing corn (60DDGS; S = 0.55% DM; n = 12); 3) CON diet + equivalent sulfur of 60DDGS added ...
