Development and Characterization of Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stem Rust UG99 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
World wheat production is currently threated by stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) Ug99 race (TTKSK). The ongoing global effort to combat Ug99 is focusing on the identification and deployment of ...
Weed Management and Soil Quality Outcomes of Non-Chemical Weed Control Tactics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In the Northern Great Plains (NGP), weed management within organic systems remains a challenge. Experiments were conducted at two distinct sites in North Dakota to investigate effects of deep mulch no-till (NT) on soil ...
Genotype-by-Environment Interaction in Sunflowers for the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Genotype by environment interaction (GxE) is the tendency of the phenotypic performance of two or more plant genotypes in one environment to not be predictive of their relative performance in another environment. To discover ...
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 ...
Frontenac' Response to Leaf Removal and Training Systems and a Microvinification and Deacidification Bioassay of Interspecific Hybrids (Vitis SPP.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Vineyard production and acid reduction microvinification experiments were conducted on interspecific hybrid grape cultivars in North Dakota. Training system and leaf removal effects on yield and quality for ‘Frontenac’ ...
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 ...
Development of a Molecular Marker to Track APA G40199 Introgression in Common Bean for Bruchid Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the main seed storage pests are the bruchid beetles. Damage done to the seed by the larvae has a large impact on seed quality and yield. Arcelin (ARC), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), and ...
Efficacy of Current Maize BT Traits Against Corn Rootworms in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Field experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of current Bt traits in maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids and soil-applied insecticide for corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) management. Experiments were conducted as a ...
Characterization of Surfactant Quality and Validation of Standard Water Conditioning Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adjuvants are products added to pesticide applications to increase pest control. There are many different types of adjuvants designed to solve certain problems. Surfactants are a major class of agricultural adjuvant used ...
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 ...
