Inheritance of Partial Resistance to White Mold in Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes white mold and severe yield losses of pea. 484 accessions from the Pisum core collection were screened for resistance using a mini-agar plug technique. 49, 41, and 13 accessions were identified ... -
An Initiative to Clean Label: Can We Replace Dough Strengtheners in Bread Formulations
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Dough strengtheners are the most common and largest group of chemicals used in bread formulations. This study evaluated the capability of hard red spring (HRS) wheat flour to replace commercial dough strengtheners in bread ... -
Integrated Pest Management of Canada Thistle (Cirsium Arvense L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Canada thistle is a clone forming perennial weed that spreads aggressively and is difficult to control. One approach to managing invasive weeds is integrating numerous tactics instead of relying on a single tactic. Therefore, ... -
Integrating Faba Bean (Vicia faba Roth) into Cropping Systems as a Cover Crop, Intercrop, and Late-Season Forage Compared with Other Legume Cover Crops in the Upper Midwest
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Faba bean (Vicia faba Roth) is grown worldwide as a protein source for food, used for animal feed, and is a common cover crop in Europe, but is underutilized in Midwest farming systems. Faba bean, field pea (Pisum sativum ... -
Interseeding Cereal Rye and Winter Camelina into Corn in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Limited photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) can reduce interseeded cover crop growth in corn (Zea mays L.). Two experiments in North Dakota evaluated the effect that hybrid relative maturity (RM), row width, and cover ... -
Intersowing Cover Crops Into Standing Soybean in the Upper Midwest
(North Dakota State University, 2019)In order to reduce nutrient losses and soil erosion in the United States Upper Midwest following soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], cover crops can be intersown into standing soybean. The objective of this study was to ... -
Investigation of a Novel Foliar Disease on Maackia amurensis in North Dakota and Its Subsequent Survey
(North Dakota State University, 2023)A new, undescribed pathogen was observed on Maackia amurensis (Amur maackia or Chinese yellow wood) trees in Fargo, North Dakota, over the course of four growing seasons from 2016 to 2020. Affected trees showed visual signs ... -
Juneberry (Amelanchier Alnifolia) Micropropagation and Cultivar Evaluation in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)A growth chamber experiment was carried out for ten weeks to reduce post-rooting dormancy in juneberry micropropagation. An RCBD with a split plot arrangement and three replicates were used. Plantlets subjected to 750 mg/L ... -
Kentucky Bluegrass Establishment Under Saline, Waterlogging, and Saline-Waterlogging Conditions
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) (KBG) is commonly used for golf fairways, however, it is sensitive to salinity and waterlogging. The objectives of this research were to determine (1) KBG growth response to saline, ... -
Kentucky Bluegrass Growth and Performance As Affected by Salinity and Salt Composition
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Turfgrass growth, development, and functionality are adversely affected by high soil salinity. Most of the previous salinity tolerance research involved NaCl-induced saline conditions. However, there are regions such as ... -
Kernel and Milling Characteristics of Durum Genotypes Grown in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Two sets of durum samples were used to determine kernel characteristics and milling properties of durum genotypes grown in North Dakota, USA. Kernels were characterized for kernel size (length, width, and thickness), germ ... -
Malting Conditions for Evaluation of Rye Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Malting of rye and use of rye malts presents several challenges to maltsters and brewers, like the lack of a hull and dense packing in steep. While, empirical evidence shows that rye genotypes differ in malting and brewing ... -
Management Practices for Improved Winter Survival of Winter Wheat in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Hard red winter wheat (winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L.) production has been historically low in ND due to cold winter temperatures resulting in winter injury and stand loss. The objective of this research was to determine ... -
Management Strategies for the Cultivation of Hop, a Specialty Crop for North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Field experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 at the NDSU Horticulture Research Farm near Absaraka, ND to evaluate the growth and yield characteristics of twelve commercial hop cultivars in response to varied training ... -
Managing Soybean Cyst Nematode by Utilizing Cover Crops and Resistant Sources from Early Maturing Soybean Accessions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Greenhouse and microplot studies were conducted for understanding the effects of cover crop species/cultivars for hosts and population reduction of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) from the fields of North ... -
Manufacturing Optimization of Non-Traditional Pasta Products
(North Dakota State University, 2015)A study was conducted to determine the effect of including non-traditional ingredients on the flow and agglomeration properties of flour formulations, the rheological behavior of pasta dough, and the physical and cooked ... -
Mapping the Ur-5 Gene Conferring Resistance to Common Bean Rust
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Bean rust (Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers) Unger), is a highly virulent pathogen that negatively affects bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seed yield. Over time, bean rust has the capacity to generate new races that overcome the ... -
Marker Assisted Backcross Selection for Virus Resistance in Pea (Pisum Sativum L.)
