- Abstract:
- ... The MyPyramid Equivalents Database (MPED) provides amounts of food groups and subgroups in foods consumed in nationwide food consumption surveys. The most recent MPED issued by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) was Version 2.0, created for use with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-04. Several of the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion's (CNPP) projects ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aerial electrostatic spraying system patented by the USDA-ARS is a unique aerial application system which inductively charges spray particles for the purpose of increasing deposition and efficacy. While this system has many potential benefits, very little is known about how changes in airspeed or nozzle orifice size affect the spray droplet spectrum of charged spray. This study quantified thes ...

- Abstract:
- ... Improving understanding of chemical transport in the subsurface commonly employs evolving groundwater monitoring networks. The objective of this work was to apply the information theory to propose an objective algorithm for augmenting a subsurface monitoring network (SMN) with the purpose of discrimination of conceptually different subsurface flow and transport models. This method determines new m ...

- Abstract:
- ... Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) drying is an essential task preceding the grading process. Kernel moisture is one of five parameters used to establish the grade for a specific lot of peanuts, and it is imperative that peanuts be dried to a kernel moisture content <10.5% wet basis for grading and storage purposes. Today's peanut drying processes utilize decision support software based on modeling and ...

Plum producers world-wide are facing multiple challenges including climate change, reductions in available labor, the need for reduced chemical inputs, the spread of native and exotic pests and pathogens, and consumer demands for improved fruit quality and health benefits. Meeting these challenges will require innovation in many areas of science and technology and especially in plum breeding. In a ...

Using topcross families involving germplasm from eight U.S. public cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) breeding programs, we evaluated the breeding potential of recently developed, elite Pee Dee germplasm. Based on pare ...

- Abstract:
- ... The renewed interest in wild Saccharum species germplasm across sugarcane breeding programs has been necessitated by the need to widen the genetic base of breeding populations. Modern sugarcane cultivars were derived from inter-specific hybridization between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. Very few genotypes were used in the initial hybridization event in 1900s resulting in narrow genetic divers ...

The development of an eco-friendly anti-felting treatment based on a calcium hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide (Ca(ClO)₂ + H₂O₂) system, the so-called MEFT (Mori Eco-friendly Treatment) process, is reported in this paper. This treatment is not new in the processing of wool; however, controlling the temperature and time gives rise to further effectiveness of the system, resulting in excellent anti ...

- Abstract:
- ... Rhizomania in the field and fungal root rot in storage can both lead to significant sucrose losses in sugar beet roots. In an effort to reduce these losses, sugarbeet germplasm developed by the USDA-ARS Kimberly sugarbeet program was evaluated for resistance to both these disease problems. Nine sugarbeet lines and four check cultivars were arranged in a randomized complete block design with six re ...

In order to combine flavour with other desirable fruit traits in improved cultivars, it is important to determine how much variability exists in the crucial compounds that contribute most to flavour. The objective of ...

BNYVV can also reduce the storability of roots. To identify germplasm with resistance to these problems, 18 sugarbeet germplasm lines developed by the USDA-ARS Ft. Collins sugarbeet program and four check cultivars were screened in a field ...
