Snowmelt Water Infiltration into Frozen Soil in Red River of the North Basin
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Infiltration into frozen soils is an important process in the hydrological cycle. Though infiltration occurs at the soil surface, it is affected by many factors, e.g. soil water content, temperature, and hydraulic conductivity. ...
Quality Evaluation of Coated Extra-Large Hulled Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Kernels for Precision Planting
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Domestic and export demand for extra-large (XL) in-shell confectionary sunflower seeds (Helianthus Annuus) growing; however, a significant proportion of the hybrid seed for planting goes to the snack food market because ...
Sugarbeet Model Development for Soil and Water Quality Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris) is considered as one of the most viable alternatives to corn for biofuel production as it may be qualified as “advanced” biofuel feedstocks under the ‘EISA 2007’. Production of deep rooted sugarbeet ...
Identification of Weed Species and Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds Using High Resolution UAS Images
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Adoption of a Site-Specific Weed Management System (SSWMS) can contribute to sustainable agriculture. Weed mapping is a crucial step in SSWMS, leads to saving herbicides and protecting environment by preventing repeated ...
Hull Fiber from DDGS and Corn Grain as Alternative Fillers in Polymer Composites with High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The steady increase in corn based ethanol production has resulted in a dramatic rise in the supply of its co-product known as distillers’ dried grain with solubles (DDGS). Currently, the main outlet for DDGS is the animal ...
Application of Nanoparticles in Livestock Manure for Understanding Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mechanism
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The agricultural sector is one of the sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, especially methane (CH4), and contributing approximately 250 million metric ton carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emission per year. Almost ...
