Integrated Pest Management of Canada Thistle (Cirsium Arvense L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Canada thistle is a clone forming perennial weed that spreads aggressively and is difficult to control. One approach to managing invasive weeds is integrating numerous tactics instead of relying on a single tactic. Therefore, ... -
Juneberry (Amelanchier Alnifolia) Micropropagation and Cultivar Evaluation in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)A growth chamber experiment was carried out for ten weeks to reduce post-rooting dormancy in juneberry micropropagation. An RCBD with a split plot arrangement and three replicates were used. Plantlets subjected to 750 mg/L ... -
Nitrogen Uptake and Biomass and Ethanol Yield of Biomass Crops as Feedstock for Biofuel
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Nitrogen fertilizers are extensively used to enhance the growth of biomass crops. This study was conducted to determine the effect of N rates on the biomass yield and quality, and N uptake of several crops. The experiment ... -
Evaluation of Hard Red and White Spring Wheat Genotypes for Tolerance to Pre-Harvest Sprouting
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Each genotype was exposed to controlled PHS conditions for evaluation of susceptibility or tolerance to sprouting, falling number, kernel color, test weight, and yield. The 24 genotypes were grown in replicated trials at ... -
Genetics and Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Septoria Tritici Blotch Resistance, Agronomic, and Quality Traits in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Most breeding programs aim at developing superior germplasm and better cultivars that combine high yield, disease and pest resistance, and end-use quality to satisfy the requirements of the growers as well as industry. A ... -
Inheritance of Partial Resistance to White Mold in Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causes white mold and severe yield losses of pea. 484 accessions from the Pisum core collection were screened for resistance using a mini-agar plug technique. 49, 41, and 13 accessions were identified ...
