- Abstract:
- ... ‘Biloxi’ tetraploid southern highbush blueberry is a new cultivar developed and released by the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture breeding programs in Beltsville, MD, and Poplarville MS. Plants of “Biloxi’ are upright, vigorous and productive. The fruit ripens early, has medium size, with good color, firmness, stem scar, and flavor. Although ‘Biloxi’ is predominan ...

- Abstract:
- ... The Agricultural Research Service, USDA, has developed and released five dark-leaf crape myrtles: âEbony Fireâ, âEbony Flameâ, Ebony Embersâ, âEbony & Ivoryâ, and âEbony Glowâ. The cultivars are predominantly Lagerstroemia indica in heritage. As with most hardy crapemyrtle cultivars, selections are generally top hardy in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 and root hardy to Zone 6 if properly ...

- Abstract:
- ... Fertility of cryopreserved spermatozoa is significantly reduced compared with that of their fresh counterparts, which is certainly due to the inflicted sublethal damage to spermatozoa that is observed at various molecular and cellular levels. The identification and characterisation of this damage will help us better understand sperm cryobiology and therefore develop suitable media and procedures t ...

The implication is that the hatchling was infected during development in the egg, which is substantiated by other studies to be reported by us in the future. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the bacterium (GenBank accession number: HM746599) showed the greatest similarity to ...

BACKGROUND: Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse), the Asian tiger mosquito, is an introduced invasive species in the United States that is responsible for a significant proportion of service requests to local mosquito control programs. This container-utilizing mosquito is refractory to standard mosquito abatement measures in the United States. This study is part of a USDA-ARS project to develop an ...

- Abstract:
- ... Daily evapotranspiration (ETd) plays a key role in irrigation water management and is particularly important in drought-stricken areas, such as California and high-value crops. Remote sensing allows for the cost-effective estimation of spatial evapotranspiration (ET), and the advent of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) technology has made it possible to estimate instantaneous high-resolution ET ...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the largest data gaps in water management due to the limited availability of measured evapotranspiration data, and because ET spatial variability is difficult to characterize at various scales. Satellite-based ET estimation has been shown to have great potential for water resource planning and for estimating agricultural water use at field, watershed, and regional ...

- Abstract:
- ... Due to recurring agricultural water shortages, many farmers are looking for crops such as pomegranate that have both some degree of drought resistance and a higher economic value. To manage limited water effectively, it is necessary to know how pomegranate trees respond to varying levels of applied water and the type of irrigation system used. This study was conducted in experimental orchards loca ...

- Abstract:
- ... When the USA passed the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) of 2007 into law, it mandated that, by the year 2022, 36 billion gallons of biofuels be produced annually in the USA to displace petroleum. This targeted quota, which required that at least half of domestic transportation fuel be “advanced biofuels” either produced from lignocellulosic feedstocks or be a sustainable liquid fuel other than corn ...

- Abstract:
- ... 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 ...

- Abstract:
- ... Russian wheat aphid [RWA; Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko)] is a worldwide insect pest of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), causing crop losses each year. Previously identified resistant barley lines do not show variable reactions to the eight United States RWA biotypes identified by wheat reactions. However, additional RWA isolates have been identified outside the United States. The objective of this resea ...

- Abstract:

Reseeding with appropriate plant materials that are adapted to the site and competitive enough to replace existing undesirable vegetation is often the most plausible way to reclaim such sites. Unfortunately, many ...

- Abstract:
- ... An 8-yr study was conducted to better understand factors influencing year-to-year variability in field-scale herbicide volatilization and surface runoff losses. The 21-ha research site is located at the USDA–ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, MD. Site location, herbicide formulations, and agricultural management practices remained unchanged throughout the duration of the st ...

- Abstract:
- ... Infrared thermometers (IRTs) can measure canopy temperature, which is useful for irrigation and crop management. Center pivot and lateral move irrigation systems are suitable platforms to transport IRTs across cropped fields at regular intervals. IRTs aboard center pivots, when used in conjunction with irrigation scheduling algorithms, have resulted in crop yield and crop water productivity that i ...

- Abstract:
- ... Soil textural variability diminishes the effectiveness of conventional irrigation management. Variable rate irrigation (VRI) can address soil variability; however, users need guidance to prepare prescriptions for optimal water application. A study was conducted at Portageville, MO, USA, in 2016 and 2017 with the objective to compare yield and irrigation water use efficiency among three water-manag ...

- Abstract:
- ... 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:
- ... Between 2002 and 2015, a comprehensive survey of sunflower fields across seven Midwestern U.S. states was conducted 12 times and continues to be conducted every other year. The surveyors collected data on yield, agronomic management factors, disease, insect, weed, and bird damage. All surveyors were volunteers and came from universities (extension and research staff), USDA-ARS, and seed and chemic ...

- Abstract:
- ... The increased global demand for milk and other dairy products over the past decades is a cause for concern due to the potential for environmental impact. Ammonia produced by housed dairy cows can contribute to the formation of particulate matter and nitrous oxide which both contribute to the greenhouse effect. The methane produced by these cows also contributes to the greenhouse effect. Scientists ...

Two cultivars of fresh market tomato [Oregon Spring (OS) and Red Sun (RS)] were each grown in two high tunnels at Beltsville, MD covered with a contrasting material of similar thickness (0.152 mm) and durability (4-year polyethylene). One covering material (Tyco Tufflite IV) transmitted ambient solar UV radiation from 290 to 400 nm (designated+UV) while the other material (Dura-Film Super 4) block ...

- Abstract:
- ... No-tillage (NT) crop production practices have been continuously maintained at four sites in Ohio for more than 25 yr. The original experiments involving NT were designed to determine how much tillage was required to produce crops with satisfactory yields and how tillage and rotation interact to effect crop yields, especially corn (Zen mays L.). Long-term effects of NT on crop yields and soil prop ...
