Selection of Hard Red Winter Wheat Lines with Diverse Resistance to Leaf Spot Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Tan spot and Septoria nodorum blotch cause serious yield losses in winter wheat in North Dakota as the majority of commercially grown cultivars are susceptible. This study aimed to identify lines with improved resistance ... -
Sensory and Quality Attributes of Deodorized Pea Flour Used in Gluten-Free Food Products
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Yellow pea (Pisum sativum L.) flour was deodorized using high-pressure solvent extraction (HPSE) with ethanol and water as solvent. These flours were evaluated in gluten-free (GF) baked goods. Sensory evaluation, volatile ... -
Serviceberry: Potential North Dakota Accessions for the Nursery Industry
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Saskatoon serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) is an ornamental Rosaceous shrub producing delicate white flowers that yield fruit similar in appearance and nutrition to blueberry (Vaccinium spp.). Most serviceberry ... -
Simulated Glyphosate Drift Effects on 'Red Norland' Commercial and Seed Potato Industries
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Field, greenhouse, and laboratory experiments were conducted in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate effects of glyphosate drift on ‘Red Norland’ potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) grown for commercial and seed industries. Glyphosate drift ... -
Simulated Hail Damage on Spring Canola (Brassica napus L.): Non-Uniform Stand Reduction and Stem Cut-Off
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Hail damage in canola has been characterized with symptoms such as randomly broken stems and loss of plants. The effect on stand reduction and stem cut-off in canola has yet to be addressed. Two separate experiments, stand ... -
Single-seed Descent, Single-pod Descent, and Bulk Methods in Soybean
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] breeders need to use the most efficient and inexpensive method to advance populations during the inbreeding process. Most breeders in the soybean industry prefer the bulk method because ... -
Soil Chemical Properties of Sand-based C,olf Putting Green at Different Depths
(North Dakota State University, 2010)USGA-specified golf putting green rootzone is a highly managed. sand dominated turf system. As putting greens age. organic matter accumulation in the form or thatch and mat in the upper rootzone profile causes temporal and ... -
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 ... -
