- Abstract:
- ... Micrometeorological methods used to estimate emissions are advantageous because they are noninterfering and can integrate fluxes over large areas. They have not been routinely applied to beef cattle feedyards, where physical complexity and the possibility of disturbed air flow may be problematic. Our objective was to use the flux-gradient method to estimate NH3 emissions from beef cattle feedyard ...

- Abstract:

A detailed whole‐farm simulation model capable of simulating stochastic daily cash and futures prices was used to evaluate alternative marketing strategies for a Texas High Plains cotton farm over a ten‐year planning horizon. Stochastic dominance with respect to a function was used to rank the alternative marketing strategies for risk‐averse and risk‐neutral producers. Results indicated that risk‐ ...

In the High Plains, sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari Zehntner (Hemiptera: Aphididae), colonize grain sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench (Cyperales: Poaceae), when it is in reproductive stages and aphid populations increase rapidly. Sugarcane aphid management recommendations based on aphid densities have been implemented in southern United States, but have not been assessed in the High Plains. ...

- Abstract:
- ... In the Northern High Plains of Texas, irrigated crop production accounts for a major portion of groundwater withdrawals from the Ogallala aquifer. The concern is that diminishing groundwater supplies will severely reduce regional crop and animal production, which in turn would impact the regional economy. The objective of this study was to develop and calibrate a groundwater model for a 4-county a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Within the US Southern High Plains, it is known that the Ogallala Aquifer (OA) has been over pumped since large-scale agriculture began making use of the water in the 1950s. One option to address the decline is to find new water sources. The last 10–15 years have seen an increase in drilling large capacity, deeper wells in the co-located Dockum Aquifer in the Texas Panhandle. This lower aquifer is ...

At the High Plains location, under low humidity conditions, Palmer amaranth control decreased as weed size increased. Smellmelon control with lactofen in south Texas was influenced by weed length and surfactant. Adding a ...

Greater than 80% of the irrigated area in the Southern High Plains is served by center-pivot irrigation, but the area served by subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is increasing due to several factors including declining well yields and improved yields and crop water productivity (CWP), particularly for cotton. Not as well established is the degree to which the reduced soil water evaporation (E) in S ...

Recent studies have indicated that cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germination and seedling vigor are more closely related to seed density than to any other physical properties such as size or weight. This study was undertaken to determine the physical and chemical differences among seed of different densities within a cultivar and among seed of the same density between cultivars.

The Texas Southern High Plains is a semiarid region for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production that uses irrigation water from the Ogallala Aquifer, where depletion exceeds recharge, prompting limits to pump water.

- Abstract:
- ... The sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is an important pest of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and sugarcane, (Saccharum officinarum L.) in the southern United States and in many parts of the world. Recent invasion by this prolific pest has created demand for evaluation of insecticides that also are favorable for conservation of natural enemies. The objective of thi ...

- Abstract:
- ... A dynamic programming model that allocates irrigations among competing crops, while allowing for stochastic weather patterns and temporary or permanent abandonment of one crop in dry periods, is presented. Fifteen intraseasonal irrigations are allocated between corn and sorghum fields on the southern Texas High Plains. Broad rules of thumb implied by the results suggest irrigating the driest field ...

Playas are ephemeral, depressional wetlands that are the primary form of surface water in the Southern High Plains of North America, an area that has experienced extensive and relatively recent land-cover changes. Because the influences of these changes in landscape structure (composition, configuration, and connectivity of land-cover types) on playas have not been assessed over time, we used remo ...
