Comparison and Standardization of Wheat Pre-Harvest Sprouting Screening Methods, Preliminary Screening of Genomic Panel Lines
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Preharvest sprouting (PHS) in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.) is a significant problem in the United States, with many ways to evaluate it. When unharvested wheat begins to sprout, the grain begins to germinate reducing ... -
Soybean Iron Deficiency Chlorosis and Amaranthus Suppression by an Oat Companion Crop
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Iron Deficiency Chlorosis (IDC) and weedy Amaranthus species are two production challenges affecting soybean production in North Dakota. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of an oat companion crop on ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
X-Ray Induced Mutagenesis in Sunflower Pollen
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The identification of new sunflower hybrids that have desirable traits depends on the availability of adequate genetic resources. A critical part of sunflower breeding is to find and recombine genetic variability into ... -
Understanding the Mode of Action of Essential Oil Nanoemulsions to Inhibit Fusarium Growth and Mycotoxin Production in Cereal
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a commonly occurred mycotoxin in cereal-based food, which is mainly produced by Fusarium spp. in the field. It is unfeasible to entirely avoid DON contamination in cereal grains with good agricultural ... -
Influence of Soil Type, Fertilizer, and Mulch Amendment in Containerized Polyculture
(North Dakota State University, 2022)There are many avenues to address global food supply and global food production increasing food security for individuals and communities. Though corporate agriculture provides the largest percentage of global sustenance ... -
Characterizing Late Blight Resistance of Parental Genotypes Used in the North Dakota State University Potato Breeding Program
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The potato is an important food crop, and late blight is a potato disease costing growers millions of dollars. Utilizing cultivars with late blight resistance is the longest-term option to manage the disease. This two-part ... -
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 ... -
Pre-Breeding to Combine Diverse Disease Resistance and Agrotype Genes in Hard Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2022)The NDSU hard winter wheat (HWW) breeding program aims to develop improved varieties that are better equipped to cope with the environmental and disease challenges of the northern prairies. To achieve this, it is necessary ... -
Corn Hybrid Response to Skip-Row Planting Configurations and Plant Population in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Management practices are needed for stable com (Zea mays L.) production in drought prone regions of western North Dakota. Analysis of weather data suggests areas like those near Mandan and Hettinger suffer severe drought ... -
Cold Hardiness and Survival of Interspecific Vitis Hybrids
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Cold hardiness and survival of wine grapes in two locations in North Dakota was determined using differential thermal analysis for five cultivars in 2020 and six cultivars from 2020-2021. Phenological data was collected ... -
Biomass Yield and Nutritive Value of Annual Forage Mixes Compared With Monocrops
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Forage mixes could serve as a cover crop mix to protect the soil during the winter, for prevented planting areas or as a high nutritious feed for grazing livestock. The objective of this study was to determine the nutritive ... -
Herbicide Screening in Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Production
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Lack of labeled herbicides for industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) production in the U.S. accentuates urgency to identify herbicides for weed control. Weed competition reduced seed yield by 25 to 32%. Pre- and post-emergence ... -
Productive and Economic Analysis of Silage Maize and Alfalfa Intercropping
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is not a commonpractice because alfalfa generally reduces maize grain and biomass yield. The objective of thisresearch was to evaluate the productivity ... -
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 ... -
Nitrogen and Spacing Requirments for Advanced Chipping Selections ND7799C-1 and ND7519-1
(North Dakota State University, 2021)To understand the best agronomic practices, including nitrogen fertilization rate and within-row spacing for two potential cultivar releases of NDSU, a study was carried out in 2018 and 2019 for the advanced chipping ... -
Potassium Fertilization and Its Impact on Yield, Nutritive Value, Root Reserves, and Winter Hardiness of Alfalfa
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Potassium (K) is an important nutrient for winter hardiness in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). This study determined the effect of K rate and application timing, fall dormancy, and harvest stress on forage yield, nutritive ... -
Improved Viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG During Storage and Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion by Encapsulation
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Probiotics are “live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host”. However, the current techniques are still struggling with delivering enough live probiotics into the ... -
