Solvent Retention Capacity and Quality Parameters of Whole Wheat Flour from Hard Red Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2016)A relatively new method, solvent retention capacity (SRC), is used to determine flour end-product quality. SRC was designed for soft wheat, which is used for baking cookies. The use of SRC to evaluate Hard Red Spring (HRS) ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Soybean Productivity as Affected by Raised Seedbeds and Subsurface Drainage
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Soils of the Red River of the North Valley (RRNV) are susceptible to waterlogging upon excessive rainfall events. Raised seedbeds and subsurface drainage are methods to reduce waterlogging in soils. The objectives of ... -
Soybean Response to Nitrogen and Sulfur Fertilization
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill.] yields in North Dakota have not yet reached their genetic potential. Applying fertilizers may increase yields. This study was conducted to understand the impact of nitrogen (N) and sulfur ... -
Soybean Seeding Rate and Row Spacing Effects on Plant Establishment and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)North Dakota soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] management varies across the state, resulting in yield differences. Eight soybean seeding rates (starting at 197600 and increasing by 49400 live seed ha-1 increments) and row ... -
Stochastic Budgeting and Input Breakeven Analysis in North Dakota Potato Production
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Enterprise budgets were developed for non-irrigated red and irrigated russet potato production, based on North Dakota model farms. Costs and revenues vary among producers, thus budgets are intended to serve as a template ... -
Stone Milling of Hard Red Spring Wheat: Effect of Settings on Flour, Dough and Bread Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Stone milling is an ancient method for grinding without separation of the wheat constituents to produce flour. This study evaluated the effect of three different stone gaps (setting wide, medium, and narrow) and 200 and ... -
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, ... -
Strategies for Weed Management in Organic Production Systems in the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Two field studies were conducted in North Dakota to explore methods to facilitate weed management in organic production systems. No-till farming is gaining popularity in conventional systems; however, organic producers ... -
Study of Freezing Tolerance After Cold Acclimation Followed by Deacclimation in Winter and Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Winter canola/rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) produced 20 to 30% greater yield over spring canola. It overwinters to flower in spring. The winter type shows increased freezing tolerance after cold acclimation, which is crucial ... -
Subsurface Drainage in Clay Soils in a Northern Climate and its Effects on Various Soybean Cultivars and Soil Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The Red River Valley of the North in North Dakota and Minnesota is a region with unique clay soils. Since 1993, the region has seen increased annual rainfall that has caused seasonal soil waterlogging, inhibiting crop ... -
Subsurface Drainage in Clay Soils in a Northern Climate and its Effects on Various Soybean Cultivars and Soil Properties.
(North Dakota State University, 2011)The Red River Valley of the North in North Dakota and Minnesota is a region with unique clay soils. Since 1993, the region has seen increased annual rainfall that has caused seasonal soil waterlogging, inhibiting crop ... -
Susceptible Crop Response to Soil Residues and Foliar Exposure of Dicamba
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Dry bean, soybean, sugarbeet, and sunflower were tested for tolerance to dicamba residue in soil. Visible injury was seen on dry bean and soybean depending on location, but yield differences were not present. Increasing ... -
Symmetric Protoplast Fusion in Interserial Syringa (Oleaceae) Hybridization
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Few other woody plants embody the preeminence of temperate woody plants in garden cultivation like the lilacs. In spite of their relationship, the trees lack the diversity of cultivated floral forms observed within the ... -
Tile Drainage, Beds, and Fe-EDDHA Application Effect on Soybean Production
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Eastern North Dakota has received excessive rainfall events since 1995, and soils are prone to waterlogging. This research evaluated the effects of subsurface tile drainage, raised beds, and iron-chelate (Fe-EDDHA) ... -
Total Yellow Pigment Content and Oxidative Stress Level during Kernel Development
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The focus of this research was to determine the effects of cultivar and environment on levels of total yellow pigment content and oxidative stress during grain development and in semolina and pasta. Lipoxygenase activity ... -
Transfer of FHB Resistance Genes into Hard Red Winter Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a serious foliar disease of hard red winter wheat (HRWW) in North Dakota. Disease resistance was identified as major component in disease management. First objective of this study is to transfer ... -
Triallate Efficacy to Suspected Herbicide Resistant Wild Oat (Avena fatua L.) in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Herbicide-resistant weed populations have increased because of continuous use of the same grass herbicides. Several collections of wild oat with resistance to ACCase and ALS herbicides have been documented in North Dakota, ... -
