Corn-Alfalfa Intercropping with Different Row Spacings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a staple crop grown mainly by dairy and beef farmers in the Midwest. To determine if seeding alfalfa with corn (Zea mays L.) could increase alfalfa forage yield and nutritive value in the ... -
Cornus Mas L. Cultivar Selection Based on Hardiness and Propagation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Cornus mas (Cornelian cherry) is a deciduous shrub/small tree native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. It is unique among the Cornaceae (dogwood) family in that the fruit is used for human consumption and is highly ... -
Cover Crops Benefits, Nitrogen Credits, and Yield Effects in Maize and Sugarbeet in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Fall-seeded cover crops (CC) provide soil coverage that prevents soil erosion and reduces NO3-N leaching. It is believed N accumulated in CC biomass is available to the next crop. The main objective of this research is to ... -
Cover Crops Impact on Energy and Forage Crops Productivity in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Forage crops have gained interest as potential source of lignocellulosic feedstock to produce ethanol. More focus is needed on developing cropping systems to improve productivity. This study was conducted to identify the ... -
Cultivation to Supplement Residual Herbicides in Sugarbeet
(North Dakota State University, 2018)The migration of waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) into northern sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) growing regions has prompted sugarbeet producers to utilize inter-row cultivation in their weed management program as no currently ... -
Dark, Hard and Vitreous (DHV) HRS Wheat Kernel Content Effect on Flour and Baking Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Kernel vitreousness is an important grading characteristics of Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat in the U.S., as subclasses vary in the dark, hard and vitreous kernel (DHV) content. This research investigated different subclasses ... -
Debranning Affects Durum Wheat Milling Properties and Semolina Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Wheat can undergo debranning before milling. Debranning involves the removal of the outer bran layer from wheat kernels by friction and abrasion forces. This research was conducted to determine the effect of durum cultivar ... -
Delayed Harvest Affects Quality of Durum Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Harvest can be delayed for many reasons. This research was conducted to determine the effect of delayed harvest on grain and semolina quality of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husn.). Twelve durum ... -
Delineating Root System Architecture in Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica napus L.) through Molecular and Transcriptomic Approaches
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Root system architecture of plant plays a key role in water and nutrient uptake from the soil, provides anchorage and acts as a storage organ. In this current research, we have focused on the molecular and physiological ... -
Determining Optimum Seeding Rates for Diverse Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Seeding rate for maximum grain yield can differ for diverse hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and can be derived from a seeding rate response curve. Six groups of HRSW cultivars with combinations ... -
Developing a Blackleg Management Package for North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, inflicts greatest canola yield losses when plants are infected before reaching the six-leaf growth stage. Studies were conducted to model pseudothecia maturation and ascospore ... -
Developing a DNA Fingerprint for Midwest Six-rowed Malting Barley
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The requirements for brewing beer from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) malt are specific and unique for each brewer. Anheuser-Busch InBev and Miller Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors) are two major brewers in the United States ... -
Developing a New SNP Chip for Genomic Selection in the North Dakota State University Barley-Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2020)The use of Genomic Selection has become popular due to its wide success in private and public breeding programs. The current dissertation aims to derive information that will be used to produce a single nucleotide polymorphisms ... -
Developing Methodology to Predict and Increase Grain Protein Content in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)A challenge for hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L. emend Thell.) producers is to obtain both high yields and market-required grain protein content (GPC). The ability to accurately predict HRSW yield with ... -
Development and Characterization of Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stem Rust UG99 in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)World wheat production is currently threated by stem rust (caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) Ug99 race (TTKSK). The ongoing global effort to combat Ug99 is focusing on the identification and deployment of ... -
Development and Evaluation of a Greenhouse Testing Procedure for Cold-Hardiness in Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Experiments were conducted to develop a greenhouse test for comparing the cold tolerance of winter wheat genotypes. Winter-survival is a complex trait and in field trials it has low heritability, consequently, selection ... -
Development of a Diverse Base Population for Hard Red Winter Wheat Recurrent Mass Selection
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Limited germplasm is available for a newly established NDSU hard red winter wheat breeding program. Therefore, a diverse pre-breeding base population was produced to broaden genetic variability through recurrent mass ... -
