Postemergence Efficacy of Pyroxasulfone at Different Rates and Timings in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Pyroxasulfone is a VLCFA inhibitor labeled to control grasses and small-seeded broadleaf weeds. Little information is available regarding this herbicide being applied postemergence. Two field experiments were conducted ... -
Allelic Relationship of A. strigosa Crown Rust Resistance Factors and their Relationship to Pc38 Suppression
(North Dakota State University, 2018)An investigation of the suppression effect of Pc38 on Pc94 was conducted by developing F2 segregating populations from genotypes possessing Pc38 and Pc94, together with a population void of the Pc38. Segregating phenotypic ... -
Strategies for Optimizing Nitrogen Use in Corn with and without Subsurface Drainage
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Excessive soil moisture can impact planting date, plant establishment, and N availability, resulting in reduced yields and N use efficiency. Nitrogen management practices such as use of urease and nitrification inhibitors, ... -
Turfgrass Responses and Rootzone Media Characteristics as Affected by Salinity
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Utilization of salt-tolerant species or cultivars is one the most effective methods to address salinity problems in turfgrass management. The relative salt tolerance in 26 commercial creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) ... -
Analysis and Identification of QTL for Resistance to Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum in Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)White mold caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorumi s one of the most devastating diseases infecting field pea (Pisum sativum L.) which causes severe yield loss worldwide. Population 17 (Lifter/ PI240515), and Population 19 ... -
Predicting Potato Yield Loss Due to Metribuzin Sensitivity in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)A linear-log model to predict yield loss due to metribuzin injury was established by Love et. al. in 1993. Two experiments were conducted in 2016 and 2017 to evaluate and improve this model for application in North Dakota ... -
Weed Management and Soil Quality Outcomes of Non-Chemical Weed Control Tactics
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In the Northern Great Plains (NGP), weed management within organic systems remains a challenge. Experiments were conducted at two distinct sites in North Dakota to investigate effects of deep mulch no-till (NT) on soil ... -
Somatic Embryogenesis of Magnolia spp. and Cultivars
(North Dakota State University, 2018)This study focused on induction of somatic embryogenesis of Magnolia spp. and cultivars utilizing leaf and seed (immature and mature) tissues with attempted micropropagation experiments. In a preliminary experiment, direct ... -
Genotype-by-Environment Interaction in Sunflowers for the Northern Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Genotype by environment interaction (GxE) is the tendency of the phenotypic performance of two or more plant genotypes in one environment to not be predictive of their relative performance in another environment. To discover ... -
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 ... -
Predicting and Enhancing Spring Wheat Grain Protein Content through Sensing and In-Season Nitrogen Fertilization
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Grain protein content is an essential component to producing a profitable Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) crop in the northern Great Plains. Growers can increase grain protein content through in-season ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Timing in Oats and Final Oat Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Pre-harvest glyphosate is often applied to cereal crops, such as oats, to insure uniform grain ripeness at harvest. However, some buyers have claimed that this practice negatively affects oat end product quality. Oat samples ... -
Association Studies on Pre-Germination Flooding Tolerance and Cell Wall Components Related to Plant Architecture in Dry Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Dry bean breeding programs have made significant advances in combating both abiotic and biotic stresses as well as improving plant architectural traits via selective breeding. Flooding can cause complete crop loss in dry ... -
Effects of Pretreatments on Separating the Seed Coat from the Cotyledon of Black Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Separation of seed coat from the cotyledon could result in an additional black bean food ingredient. The objective of this study was to develop a standard milling procedure that can achieve optimum seed coat removal from ... -
Metribuzin Tolerance of Early-Maturing Soybean Genotypes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Metribuzin is an alternative herbicide to control glyphosate-resistant common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr). Metribuzin has potential to injure soybean. A screening technique to grow ... -
Biotic and Abiotic Factors Affecting the Survival of Listeria Monocytogenes in Prairie Pothole Soils and Sediments
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The diversity-invasion relationship states that more diverse communities are more resistant to invasion. Listeria monocytogenes – a gram-positive facultative anaerobe, soil saprotroph, and opportunistic human pathogen – ... -
Rust Resistance in the Guatemalan Climbing Bean Germplasm Collection
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Common bean is the main source of protein, fiber, and iron for Guatemalan's poorest households; however, bean rust can cause up to 100% yield losses. There is limited information about bean rust in Guatemala, especially ... -
