Yield and Quality Prediction Using Satellite Passive Imagery and Ground-Based Active Optical Sensors in Sugar Beet, Spring Wheat, Corn, and Sunflower
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Remote sensing is one possible approach for improving crop nitrogen use efficiency to save fertilizer costs, reduce environmental pollution, and improve crop yield and quality. Feasibility and potential of using remote ...
Transferability of Regional and Wetland Specific Assessment Methods for a Statewide Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The transferability and expansion of current wetland assessment methods to other wetland classes and ecoregions throughout the state of North Dakota is the primary goal of this research. During the growing season of 2011, ...
Pest Management of Wheat Stem Sawfly, Cephus Cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton, is regarded as a major pest of dryland wheat in the Upper Great Plains. For peak emergence of wheat stem sawfly, the most accurate base was 0 C using air temperature, and then ...
Exploring Effects of Weed Management in Agroecosystems: Arthropods, Soil Properties and Soybean Production
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Soil-dwelling arthropods contribute to agroecosystems, but it’s unclear how specific taxa respond to weed management practices. Objectives were to explore 1) response of Collembola to weed management in a glyphosate-tolerant ...
Wetland Restoration Techniques and Associated Costs in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Degraded wetlands are a common occurrence throughout the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States. Many restoration attempts have been conducted to restore these unique ecosystems to their previous conditions. However, ...
Density and Movement of Soybean Aphid, Aphis Glycines (Hemiptra: Aphididae) in Response to Temperature and Resistant Soybean Plants
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Movement is one way herbivores respond to their host plant, yet the movement of relatively immobile insects has received little attention. We studied how the movement and density of apterous soybean aphids responds to a ...
Crop Price and Land Use Change: Forecasting Response of Major Crops Acreage to Price and Economic Variables in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The objective of this study is to examine land use change for cropping systems in North Dakota. Using Seemingly Unrelated Regression with full information maximum likelihood estimation method, acreage forecasting models ...
Influence of Amendments on Chemical and Biological Properties of Sodic Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Improving productivity of sodic soils has become a concern in North Dakota because of the desire for more land for producing crops. Field and incubation studies were conducted to determine the impacts of different amendments ...
Effects of Sediment Removal on Vegetation Communities in Prairie Pothole Wetlands in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The goal of this study was to assess effects of sediment removal on vegetation communities in Prairie Pothole wetlands in North Dakota to determine if this management technique is providing desired results to create ...
Brine-Contaminated Soils in Western North Dakota: Site Assessment Methodology and a New In-Situ Remediation Method
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Anthropogenic soil salinity caused by produced water (i.e., brine) contamination is an issue in all oil and gas producing regions. The objectives of this research are to develop soil electrical conductivity (EC) conversion ...
