Nitrogen Effects on Low-Protein and Semidwarf Genotypes for Malting Barley Production in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Producing barley that meets the quality specifications set by the malting and brewing industry can be difficult in western North Dakota growing conditions. Semidwarf and low protein genotypes may help producers of malting ... -
Nitrogen Fertilizer Timing, Rate, and Source Effects on Corn and Wheat Production in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Experiments were conducted in 2015-2016 to determine if yield and protein concentration in corn (Zea mays L.) and hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) could be enhanced through different nitrogen (N) fertilizer ... -
Nitrogen Fertilizer Types and Application Timing on Hard Red Spring Wheat Productivity and Grain Protein
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The balance of improving hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell) yield while maintaining grain protein concentration continues to be a challenge in agriculture. The objective of the field research was to ... -
Nitrogen Management in Dry Bean and Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Legume crops, dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), can form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nitrogen (N) fertilizer may be necessary for optimal yields. Three ... -
Nitrogen Sources and Their Management on Wheat Yield and Protein
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Nitrogen (N) fertilizer management in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can impact grain yield and protein. Develping strategies that improve N efficiency are needed to optimize wheat production in North Dakota. Field experiments ... -
Nitrogen Uptake and Biomass and Ethanol Yield of Biomass Crops as Feedstock for Biofuel
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Nitrogen fertilizers are extensively used to enhance the growth of biomass crops. This study was conducted to determine the effect of N rates on the biomass yield and quality, and N uptake of several crops. The experiment ... -
Nitrogen Uptake Effects on Potato Yield and Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Nitrogen (N) is one of the vital elements for potato production. As well as common synthetic fertilizers, turkey manure compost (TMC) is more commonly used as a source of N for potato production in Minnesota. The aim of ... -
Non-Chemical Weed Management in Annual and Perennial Organic Cropping Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Weedy pests, especially perennial weeds, are among the most challenging barriers to organic crop production. Improving non-chemical weed management tactics for established organic productions systems, like cool-season ... -
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 ... -
Nuclear-Cytoplasmic Interaction Analysis: A Critical Step for Wheat Germplasm Enhancement
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Wheat (Triticum aestivum) possesses the largest set of available alloplasmic lines in either the plant or animal kingdom. These alloplasmic lines consist of novel combinations of wheat cultivar nuclei and cytoplasm, derived ... -
Oil-Based Food Extracts from Distillers Dried Grains
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The goal of this project was to examine benefits of developing a DDGS-based extract for human food consumption. The antioxidant activity of extracts derived from corn and distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was ... -
Optimal Seeding Rates for New Hard Red Spring Wheat Cultivars in Diverse Environments
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Seeding rate in hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) production impacts input cost and grain yield. Predicting the optimal seeding rate (OSR) for HRSW cultivars can aid growers and eliminate the need for ... -
Optimizing Glufosinate for Weed Control in Agricultural Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Weed management is an essential component of production agriculture. While many weed management methods exist today, chemical practices have proven to be the most efficient and are the most widely adopted methods. The ... -
