Reference Evapotranspiration and Actual Evapotranspiration Measurements in Southeastern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Subsurface drainage (SSD) has been used to remove excess water from fields in the United States upper Midwest for more than a century, but only since the last decade in the Red River Basin of the North in North Dakota (ND). ...
Application of SWAT for Impact Analysis of Subsurface Drainage on Streamflows in a Snow Dominated Watershed
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The wet weather pattern since the early 1990's has created two problems for the people living in the Red River Valley (RRV): (1) wet field conditions for farmers and (2) more frequent major spring floods in the Red River ...
Non-Destructive Analysis of Single Plant Canola (Brassica Napus) Seed Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used for quantitative analysis of oilseeds in a non-destructive manner. Canola (Brassica napus) is a popular oilseed crop that is used for food and biofuel markets. Due to limited ...
Process Benefits of Using Biomass Pellets in a Biorefinery
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pelleted biomass can help simplify biomass supply systems and reduce downstream processing costs that are vital for the development of commercial biorefineries. This study is based on comparison of process benefits and ...
Use of Digital Imagery to Evaluate the Relationship Between NDVI and Crop Production Field Data at Stutsman County, North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Remote sensing techniques using near infrared band and experimental field data has been already applied on experimental field conditions. However, actual field conditions can be different than experimental plots. This study ...
Evaluating Standard Wet Chemistry Techniques and NIR Spectroscopic Models for Determining Composition and Potential Ethanol Yields of Multi-Species Herbaceous Bioenergy Crops
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Herbaceous perennials represent a considerable portion of potential biomass feedstocks available for the growing bioenergy industry. Their chemical composition and biomass yields, which are important in determining ethanol ...
Extracting Carotenoids from Corn Industry Coproducts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Two experiments were completed to develop methods for extracting xanthophylls from corn industry co-products, post fermentation (PF) corn oil and corn gluten meal (CGM). A solid phase extraction (SPE) method was used to ...
Efficacy and Recovery of Cellulases Immobilized on Polymer Brushes Grafted on Silica Nanoparticles
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cellulosic biofuels can be more economical if cellulases are recovered and reused.
Cellulase and β-glucosidase were immobilized on poly(acrylic acid) brush particles. Impact of brush enzyme density on efficacy and recovery ...
Effect of Water Table Level on Soybean Water Use, Growth and Yield Parameters
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Responses of soybean (Glycine max) water uptake and crop growth to four constant water table depths (30, 50, 70, and 90 cm) were studied under a controlled environment using lysimeters. Additionally, control lysimeters ...
Anaerobic Co-digestion of Dairy Manure with Canola Meal
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
There has been an increase of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)
generating large amounts of manure. When this manure is not handled properly, it
generates greenhouse gases (GHGs), odors and water pollution. ...
