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.)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Viruses are destructive plant pathogens, which cause significant yield loss and reduced grain quality. Pea Seed-borne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV) is an economically important viral disease in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and recently ... -
Marker Assisted Selection Increases the Efficiency of Breeding for Potato Virus Y Resistance in Potato
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Potato Virus Y (PVY) is an important virus of potato due to the non-persistent mode of transmission by aphids causing yield losses. Genetic resistance is the recommended control since insecticides cannot adequately control ... -
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Biodegradable Wheat Bran, Maize Bran, and Dried Distillers Grain Arabinoxylan Films
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Arabinoxylans are non-starch polysaccharides in the cell walls of cereal crops including maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Arabinoxylans are produced when maize bran, dried distillers grain, and wheat ... -
