Sugarbeet Yield and Quality Response to Nitrogen Fertilizer Rate and In-Season Prediction of Yield and Quality Using Active-Optical Sensor
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Nitrogen (N) management is one of the important factors in sugarbeet production. Under-application of N-fertilizer results in lower root yield while over-application of N-fertilizer can result in decreased sugar concentration ...
Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Response to Nitrogen (N) Loss Management and Sulfate-Based Soil Salinity
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The first study was conducted during 2014 growing season at Glyndon, MN to evaluate the effectiveness of nitrification inhibitor or both urease and nitrification i.e. double inhibitors on reducing N losses in a rainfed ...
Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Thermally and Chemically Disturbed Soil in Northwestern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Thermal desorption (TD) remediates hydrocarbon-contaminated soil by heating the soil (200 to 500 °C) to volatilize the hydrocarbons, effectively removing the contaminant from the soil. If the soil is then used for agricultural ...
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recalibration for Sunflower in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Sunflower is one of the most important annual crops grown for edible oil in the world and
is grown in North Dakota and the northern Great Plains more than any other region in the United
States. Sunflower production and ...
Understanding the Role of Soils in Decision Making: Urban Agriculture and Septic Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Rural and urban dwellers frequently face decisions relating to human health. Among these are issues pertaining to water quality, and the availability of safe and nutritious food. Rural septic systems treat household ...
Soil Biological Functioning and Recovery in Soils Disturbed From Bakken Oil and Gas Activities
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Oil and gas activity-related soil disturbances can alter soil properties and reduce microbial function, which is crucial for nutrient cycling and proper soil function. The goal of this research was to investigate effects ...
Evaluating Ornamental Grasses for the Challenging Rain Garden Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Four experiments were conducted to determine the growth and survival of seven species of perennial ornamental grasses, tufted hairgrass [Deschampsia cespitosa (L.) P. Beauv.], switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), big bluestem ...
Calcium Acetate: An Alternative to Gypsum for Brine Impacted Soils
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
With North Dakota being ranked as a leading producer of oil and natural gas in the United States, the possibility of accidental produced water (aka “brine” or “salt water”) spills is a continuous concern. Brine water poses ...
Proposed Nonparametric Tests for the Simple Tree Alternative for Location and Scale Testing in a Mixed Design
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Six nonparametric tests are proposed for the mixed design consisting of a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and a completely randomized design (CRD). The proposed tests are designed to test for differences in location ...
An Examination of Land Preparation Methods to Alleviate Common Issues Associated With Pipeline Reclamation
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Post-seeding land preparation methods can improve reclamation success; however, limited research is available for the Williston Basin. A field study evaluated four treatments: land imprinting, hydromulch, straw crimping, ...
