Soybean Leaf Chlorophyll Estimation and Iron Deficiency Field Rating Determination at Plot and Field Scales Through Image Processing and Machine Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is the most common reason for chlorosis in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) and causes an average yield loss of 120 million dollars per year across 1.8 million ha in the North Central US ...
Technical and Economic Assessments of Storage Techniques for Long-term Retention of Industrial-beet Sugar for Non-food Industrial Fermentations
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Industrial beets may compete against corn grain as an important source of sugars for non-food industrial fermentations. However, dependable and energy-efficient systems for beet sugar storage and processing are necessary ...
Advanced Evapotranspiration Measurement for Crop Water Management in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
As the main component of terrestrial energy and water balance, evapotranspiration (ET) moves a large amount of water and energy in the form of latent heat flux from bare soil and vegetated surfaces into the atmosphere. ...
Pilot Scale Production, Characterization, and Optimization of Epoxidized Vegetable Oil-Based Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Novel epoxidized sucrose soyate (ESS) resins perform much better than other vegetable
oil-based resins; thus, they are of current interest for commercial scale production and for a wide
range of applications in coatings ...
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 ...
Effects of Calcium Based Surface Amendments on Hydraulic Conductivity and Selected Physical Properties of Subsurface Drained Sodic Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Managing excess soil water in agricultural fields in the Northern Great Plains through subsurface drainage increases the risk of sodification in high-risk soils. Leaching sodic soils with low electrical conductivity (EC) ...
Optimization of Methane Yield in Solid-State Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Dairy Manure and Corn Stover
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Sole dependence on fossil fuel and the concomitant environmental concerns could be minimized through the optimization of green energy generation from the growing volume of onfarm organic wastes. In this mesophilic study, ...
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 ...
Vegetative Filter Strip: A Best Management Practice (Bmp) for Feedlot Runoff Pollution Control in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Runoff from animal feeding operations is a major source of water pollution. Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are effective ways to reduce nonpoint source pollution. In this study, vegetative filter strips with different ...
