Influence of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Seedling Grafting on Plant Growth, Fruit Yield and Quality, and Disease Tolerance
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Influence of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling grafting on the plant growth, fruit yield and quality, and disease tolerance were investigated using 3 cultivars (Big Beef, Celebrity, Cannonball) as scions and two ... -
Managing Soybean Cyst Nematode by Utilizing Cover Crops and Resistant Sources from Early Maturing Soybean Accessions
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Greenhouse and microplot studies were conducted for understanding the effects of cover crop species/cultivars for hosts and population reduction of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) from the fields of North ... -
Causes of Dull Brown Color in Durum and Traditional Semolina Pasta
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Bleaching of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husn.) was evaluated by determining the effect of grain moisture content, temperature, and wet/dry cycles with bulk water and with high relative humidity ... -
Kernel and Milling Characteristics of Durum Genotypes Grown in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Two sets of durum samples were used to determine kernel characteristics and milling properties of durum genotypes grown in North Dakota, USA. Kernels were characterized for kernel size (length, width, and thickness), germ ... -
Evaluation of Barley and Malt Quality in the Eastern Spring Barley Nursery
(North Dakota State University, 2019)In the northeastern United States, craft beer is on the rise. With local brewing increasing, the supply of local raw materials becoming an urgent problem in some northeastern states, like Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, ... -
Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in F1 Hybrid Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Due to scientific advancement, hybrid wheat may be the future of wheat breeding, but many questions about the hybrid system remain. How hybrids will perform in terms of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance is one of the ... -
Evaluation of High Tunnel and Field Produced Specialty Cut Flowers in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The demand for local sustainably grown produce and flowers has increased (Low et al., 2015), and stimulated a growing interest in high tunnel production. The goal of this research project was to evaluate the production of ... -
Flavor Modification of Pea Flour Using Ethanol-Based Deodorization
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Peas are rich in protein and dietary fiber and can be used to create specialty products; however, flavor issues are one of the primary concerns regarding utilization. Sensory evaluations indicated the optimal treatment ... -
Evaluation of Management Tools for Stripe Rust in Hard Red Spring Wheat and Assessment of Virulence Phenotypes and Aggressiveness in Puccinia striiformis Isolates
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is an economically important foliar disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). In the last decade, losses from stripe rust in North Dakota (ND) have increased, ... -
Using Mid-Season NDVI Data from Drones to Produce Variable Rate Fertilizer Maps in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Variable rate prescription maps can improve nitrogen use efficiency within a field by directing N applications where it is needed. If NDVI collected with a drone could be used to predict yield, it also could be used to ... -
Mother and Daughter Chipping Potato Cultivar Responses to Sublethal Rates of Glyphosate and Dicamba
(North Dakota State University, 2019)The effects of sublethal drift rates and carryover of glyphosate and dicamba into the next generation of seed potato cultivars Atlantic and Dakota Pearl are unknown. The objective of this research is to determine the impact ... -
