Rotating Cross-Arm and Winter Row Covers for Floricane Blackberry (Rubus Subgenus Rubus Watson) Production in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Blackberry (Rubus subgenus Rubus Watson) production has potential to expand into North
Dakota, but this will only occur with the evaluation of new cultivars and overwintering protection
methods. Ten cultivars under four ...
Agronomic Practices that Impact Grain Quality Factors of Durum Wheat (Triticum Turgidum L. Var. Durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Durum wheat is a type of wheat primarily used for pasta production. North Dakota is the leading producer of durum wheat in the US with average yields of 2700 kg ha-1. Durum wheat price discounts are common and occur due ...
Improving Efficacy of Metribuzin and Rimsulfuron in Potato Production
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Rimsulfuron and metribuzin are postemergence herbicides used to control broadleaf weeds in potato and are applied with adjuvants to improve efficacy. Postemergence weed control often coincides with fungicide treatments. ...
Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Grain Cadmium in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum Desf.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Durum wheat is capable of accumulating cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in the grain at levels that have been deemed unsafe. Previous studies have identified genetic variation in durum wheat that can be exploited to create ...
Glutograph 'E': A Simple Rheometer to Measure Quality of Cooked Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Glutograph ‘E’ was designed to determine the stretch and relaxation properties of wet gluten. Usage of this equipment to evaluate the cooked pasta texture has not been reported and thus is the goal of this research. ...
Simulated Glyphosate Drift Effects on 'Red Norland' Commercial and Seed Potato Industries
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Field, greenhouse, and laboratory experiments were conducted in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate effects of glyphosate drift on ‘Red Norland’ potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown for commercial and seed industries. Glyphosate drift ...
Aminocyclopyrachlor Efficacy on Native Forbs, and Soil Seedbank Change 15 Years Following Release of Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) Biological Control Agents
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Native prairie response to aminocyclopyrachlor (AMCP) was evaluated in the Northern Great Plains. AMCP altered plant communities and reduced foliar cover of introduced, high seral, and low seral forb species. After treatment, ...
Development of Management Tools for Sunflower Downy Mildew (Plasmopara Halstedii) and Rust (Puccinia Helianthi)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Downy mildew (Plasmopara halstedii) and rust (Puccinia helianthi) are two economically important diseases of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in North Dakota. Both diseases are capable of causing significant reductions in ...
A Novel Genetic Linkage Map of Chokecherry (Prunus Virginiana L.) and QTL Mapping for X-Disease (Candidatus Phytoplasma Pruni) Resistance
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
A novel chokecherry genetic linkage map was constructed using 565 molecular markers and a previously published mapping population (n=101). Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana L.) is a potential model for genetic research of ...
Selection of Hard Red Winter Wheat Lines with Diverse Resistance to Leaf Spot Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Tan spot and Septoria nodorum blotch cause serious yield losses in winter wheat in North Dakota as the majority of commercially grown cultivars are susceptible. This study aimed to identify lines with improved resistance ...
