Understanding Host Resistance and Pathogen Biology in the Wheat-Fusarium graminearum Pathosystem
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major challenge in global wheat production. In the United States, the disease is predominantly caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum. Utilization of FHB-resistant wheat cultivars integrated ... -
Comparison of Two Single Curtain and Two Double Curtain Trellis Systems with Marquette and Petite Pearl Wine Grapes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)A field study was conducted to evaluate the influence of a trellis system, Genova double curtain (GDC), Scott Henry (SH), mid-wire that was vertical shoot positioned (VSP), and high wire cordon (HW), on fruit ripening and ... -
High tunnels extend the growing season in warm season crops tomato, cucumber and bell pepper
(North Dakota State University, 2020)High tunnels are used to modify the crop environment by trapping solar energy, providing protection from unfavorable weather events, and extending the growing season in temperate regions. This project assessed yield and ... -
Combining Cover Crops, Strip Tillage, and Novel Mulches to Manage Weeds in Vegetable Cropping Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Vegetable producers may benefit from integrating living mulches into their operations to manage weeds and improve soil quality. Living mulches, however, can reduce vegetable yield through competition. Here we investigate ... -
Relative Maturity and Row Spacing Effect on Establishment of Interseeded Cover Crops into Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Low adoption to cover crops in the northern Plains is due to limited soil water for stand establishment, short growing season, and few adapted winter-hardy species. Studies were conducted to evaluate the impact of interseeded ... -
Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) Control in No-Till Soybean Systems on a Coarse Textured Soil
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis) is a competitive winter or summer annual broadleaf weed. When uncontrolled, horseweed can reduce soybean (Glycine max) yields by 93%. Research was conducted to advance our knowledge on ... -
Homoeologous Recombination-Based Chromosome Engineering for Physical Mapping and Introgression in Wheat and Its Relatives Aegilops speltoides and Thinopyrum elongatum
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Wheat (genome AABBDD) is one of the essential crops, offering approximate 20% of human calorie consumption worldwide. Allopolyploidization of three diploid ancestors led to hexaploid wheat with narrowed genetic variation. ... -
Factors Affecting Establishment and Growth of Cover Crops in a Corn-Soybean Rotation
(North Dakota State University, 2020)In the Midwest, it can be beneficial to interseed cover crops into corn (Zea mays L.) since there is a limited time for them to establish and grow after corn harvest. Research conducted in four environments in North Dakota ... -
Optimizing Winter Camelina Production as a Cover Crop In North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Winter camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] has gained particular interested from producers and researchers in the northern Great Plains and local production information is critical. Without a correct sowing date plant ... -
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 ... -
Relay-Sowing Soybean Into Established Winter Annual Cover Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Cover crop acreage continues to increase as soil, grazing, and ecosystem benefits become better known. The profit aspect of sustainability could be improved by producing intersown cover crops with an added commodity value. ... -
Vacuum Steam Pasteurization of Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Vacuum steam pasteurization (VSP) is a promising technology for pasteurization of low moisture foods. Recent outbreaks traced to wheat flour, a low moisture food, have created demand in the milling industry for a process ... -
Pre-Harvest Glyphosate Use During Wheat Cultivation: Effects on Wheat Chemistry and Human Gut Microbiota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world which is sometimes utilized as a pre-harvest desiccant during wheat cultivation. It inhibits the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase enzyme in the shikimic ... -
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 ... -
Differentiating PVY Infection from Nitrogen Deficiency in Potato Using Spectral Reflectance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Potato Virus Y (PVY) infection and nitrogen (N) deficiency cause similar symptoms (chlorosis and stunting) on potato foliage. While conventional methods, including ELISA and petiole testing, require destructive sampling ... -
The Physical Properties and Cookie-Making Performance of Oleogel Made with Refined and Crude Oils
(North Dakota State University, 2019)In this study, oleogels were prepared with crude plant oils using varying oleogelators. The role of oleogel was compared with refined oil oleogels as well as commercial shortening in the cookie making process. The plant ... -
Screening for Forage Sorghum Genotypes with Chilling Tolerance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Forage sorghum (FS) [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a warm-season biomass crop with the potential to become a bioenergy feedstock. The objective of this study was to screen potential FS genotypes for increased chilling ... -
