Understanding the Relationship Between Weather Variables, Dry Matter Intake, and Average Daily Gain of Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The current National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) dry matter intake (DMI) prediction models are inadequate for DMI prediction of beef cattle in the Northern Great Plains. Four studies were conducted ...
Transfer of FHB Resistance Genes into Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious foliar disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Disease resistance was identified as major component in disease management. First objective of this study is to transfer ...

Four studies were conducted to investigate plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) of corn and soybean in ND. The first study investigated the incidence and abundance of vermiform PPN in ND corn fields in 2015 and 2016. Samples ...
Characterization of Genetic Resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Epidemiology of the Disease in Brassica napus L.
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
This dissertation contains three research chapters conducted on Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) of canola (Brassica napus L.). This disease is caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and is considered endemic in ...
Altering Grapevine Crop-load and Canopy Architecture Through Cultural and Genetic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
North Dakota's extremely short growing season leads to premature harvest of unripe, high acid grapes with atypical fruit chemistry. To combat the short growing season, grape growers utilize labor intensive grapevine canopy ...
Pre-Breeding to Improve Yield and Disease Resistance of Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Challenges to growing winter wheat in North Dakota include winter temperature and disease pressure. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that necessitates breeding for resistance. In the NDSU breeding program ...
Fitness and Management of Site-specific Fungicide Resistant Cercospora beticola Isolates from Sugar Beet
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Cercospora leaf spot (CLS), caused by the fungal pathogen Cercospora beticola, is one of the most destructive foliar diseases on sugar beet. It severely affects productivity and profitability of the sugar beet industry. ...
