- Abstract:
- ... Many types of drags and spike tooth harrows have been used in pasture work. Most are not suitable for small plot work with bermudagrass because of lack of uniformity resulting from the dragging operation, fouling and clogging of the teeth with plant parts, and their cumbersome operation. This note describes a small unit which drags a plot uniformly, exhibits essentially no fouling or clogging of t ...

- Abstract:
- ... The productivity and stability of northeastern Atlantic tidal salt marshes depend largely upon the growth and persistence of the tall and short ecophenes of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora Loisel.). While the annual energy balance upon which perennial grass persistence depends has been studied in the tall form, no such information is available for the short form. The seasonal energy relati ...

- Abstract:
- ... Flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) produced in a close-grown system may offer an alternative to use of synthetic smoking materials. In order to develop optimum production and handling practices for this system, information is needed on the chemical and physical contents of the harvested material. Tobacco (‘Sp C-28’) was produced in a close-grown system with varying plant populations (45,448 ...

- Abstract:
- ... Analyses of multispectral measurements from satellites offer the potential to monitor and inventory crop production. The crop canopy is a dynamic entity influenced by many cultural and environmental factors. In order to quantify and understand some of these potential sources of variation in spectral measurements of crops, an experiment was conducted on a Williams loam (fine−loamy, mixed Typic Argi ...

- Abstract:
- ... Seed yields of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) vary capriciously in time and space. This variation seems mainly caused by the delicate interplay between plant factors monitored by soil moisture availability and the obligate tripping requirement of alfalfa flowers by pollinators. The object of this study was to quantify the main effects and interactions between water application to the alfalfa field a ...

Additional research is also required to identify the best in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) technique for prediction of in vivo digestibility of whole-plant corn (Zea mays L.) forage. We designed experiments to compare methods of NDF and IVDMD determination for predicting in vivo intake and digestib ...

- Abstract:
- ... Grass tetany, a conditioned Mg deficiency, is a serious nutritional disease in cattle in various parts of the United States. While year to year variability is high, disease incidence is notably higher in some areas than others, indicating that soils, species of grasses, and temperature may be contributing factors. The Mg concentrations in grasses were determined to identify regional patterns and f ...

Remotely sensed reflectance data provide an indication of the amount of plant growth. In this investigation, we followed the seasonal changes in reflectance of three cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as related to their physiological development. Reflectances over t ...

In a study conducted in 1975, sterility in rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars grown on Crowley silt loam soil (Typic Albaqualf) amended with monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA) increased as cultivar susceptibility to straight-head increased. A midseason drain and dry treatment was found to decrease MSMA induced sterility. This study was a continuation of the experiment initiated in 1975 to evaluate th ...

- ... The response of a grain crop to yield variables such as salinity, soil fertility and irrigation often depends upon the integrated and simultaneous effects of these factors. A greenhouse study was therefore conducted to investigate the interactive effects of water salinity, N and P fertilization, and irrigation scheduling on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Three water salinity levels, four N fertiliza ...

- ... Sulfur deficiencies are widespread in California annual grasslands and in other areas of the world where subclover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) is an important legume. Intensive grazing is often practiced where subclover is grown. Therefore, to determine the need for S fertilization it is important to know how defoliation and plant age influence the diagnostic tissue tests used to assay subclover S ...

- Abstract:
- ... Periodic, non−destructive data on the number of leaves, tillers, and emerged rhizomes are basic to the determination of turfgrass response to stress. Although the leaf area of turfgrasses is also markedly affected by stress, it is difficult and time−consuming to obtain without injury to the herbage. To determine if the leaf measurements of a specific leaf of each plant is correlated to the same le ...

- Abstract:

Under such conditions leaves act as an infinite sink for NH₃. More recent controlled chamber studies, however, have shown NH₃ evolving from leaves when concentrations were nearer to those of the atmosphere. ...

The evolved system for growing cotton includes planting on raised beds with N applied preplant into or under the bed. Maturity delays and associated yield reductions in recent years may have been related to this system. A study was initiated in 1975 to compare four genotypes grown ...

In 1976, plots of each cultivar were clipped and allowed to regrow from 1 July, 29 July, and 26 August. S ...
