Developing a New Powered Seed Delivery System with Constant Seed Release Speed Using Two Confronting Belts
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Seed delivery devices are aimed to carry seeds down to open furrow that might affect uniformity of plant stand and spacing. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a new seed delivery system utilizing a ...
Incorporation of Subsurface Drainage and Subirrigation Into the Checkbook Method
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The highly variable climate of the Red River Valley of the North brings both flood and drought conditions, leading to an interest in subsurface water management systems (WMS). These subsurface WMS can drain excess water ...
Investigation of the International Food-Grade Soybean Market
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
This study provides an overview of the international soybean market and takes a look at a case study of an exporter and their target markets, China, Japan, and South Korea. Then it estimates future soybean import demands ...
Sweet Corn Production with Different Mulches, Varieties, and Planting Dates in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Sweetcorn is a high value crop that can grow almost anywhere given the right temperature conditions. In North Dakota those conditions are not always met. Using mulch increases the soil temperature. Early planting will have ...
Impact of Federal Crop Insurance on North Dakota Agriculture Production Efficiency
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
This study examines the impact of three major policy shifts in federal crop insurance on North Dakota agriculture production efficiency. An empirical application of 53 counties in North Dakota from 1980 to 2014 indicates ...
Identification of Weed Species and Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds Using High Resolution UAS Images
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adoption of a Site-Specific Weed Management System (SSWMS) can contribute to sustainable agriculture. Weed mapping is a crucial step in SSWMS, leads to saving herbicides and protecting environment by preventing repeated ...
Infield Biomass Bales Aggregation Logistics and Equipment Track Impacted Area Evaluation
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Efficient bale stack location, infield bale logistics, and equipment track impacted area were conducted in three different studies using simulation in R. Even though the geometric median produced the best logistics, among ...
Remediation of Feedlot Nutrients Runoff by Hydroponic Treatment and Electrolysis Process
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Intensive livestock farming in feedlot producing large amounts of manure and wastewater. Hydroponic and electrolysis treatments were studied for the remediation of nutrients from feedlot runoff. Water hyacinth, water ...
Evaluation of Storage Techniques to Preserve Fermentable Sugars from Sugar Beets for Ethanol Production
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
New sugar beet varieties may qualify as an advanced biofuel feedstock in the U.S., but new alternatives to conventional pile storage are necessary to preserve fermentable sugars and allow yearlong beet ethanol production. ...
Reference Evapotranspiration and Actual Evapotranspiration Measurements in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Subsurface drainage (SSD) has been used to remove excess water from fields in the United States upper Midwest for more than a century, but only since the last decade in the Red River Basin of the North in North Dakota (ND). ...
