Cover crops (CC) in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations may prevent N loss and provide other ecosystem services but CC productivity in the western Corn Belt is limited by the short growing season. Our objective was to assess CC treatment and planting practice effects on CC biomass, spring soil nitrate concentrations, and soybean yield at two rainfed sites in eastern and one irrigated site in south-central Nebraska over 4 years. Cover crop treatments (cereal rye [Secale cereale L.] [RYE] and a mix of rye, legume, and brassica species [MIX]) were planted …
Transcriptional Reprogramming Of Legume Genomes: Perspective And Challenges Associated With Single-Cell And Single Cell-Type Approaches During Nodule Development, Marc Libault
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Transcriptomic approaches revealed thousands of genes differentially or specifically expressed during nodulation, a biological process resulting from the symbiosis between leguminous plant roots and rhizobia, atmospheric nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria. Ultimately, nodulation will lead to the development of a new root organ, the nodule. Through functional genomic studies, plant transcriptomes have been used by scientists to reveal plant genes potentially controlling nodulation. However, it is important to acknowledge that the physiology, transcriptomic programs, and biochemical properties of the plant cells involved in nodulation are continuously regulated. They also differ between the different cell-types composing the nodules. To generate a more accurate …

Nitrogen is one of the most essential plant nutrients and one of the major factors limiting crop productivity. Having the goal to perform a more sustainable agriculture, there is a need to maximize biological nitrogen fixation, a feature of legumes. To enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling the interaction between legumes and rhizobia, the symbiotic partner fixing and assimilating the atmospheric nitrogen for the plant, researchers took advantage of genetic and genomic resources developed across different legume models (e.g., Medicago truncatula, Lotus japonicus, Glycine max, and Phaseolus vulgaris) to identify key regulatory protein coding genes of the nodulation …
A Review Of Cover Crops For Eastern Nebraska, Tyler Williams
A Review Of Cover Crops For Eastern Nebraska, Tyler Williams
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
The focus of this project is two fold, first to provide a short literature review of cover crops (CC) and then discuss the results from a field experiment that was designed to evaluate the nitrogen contribution from cover crop mixes to the subsequent corn crop. The literature review will focus on the aspects of CC that are related to the field of study. Cover crops, as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) are crops that are agronomically sound and grown for the purpose of erosion control or other objectives related to conservation or soil improvement. Cover crops …
Dry Weight And Nitrogen Content Of Chickpea And Winter Wheat Grown In Pots For Three Rotations, James E. Bidlack, Charles T. Mackown, Srinivas C. Rao
Dry Weight And Nitrogen Content Of Chickpea And Winter Wheat Grown In Pots For Three Rotations, James E. Bidlack, Charles T. Mackown, Srinivas C. Rao
United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications
Chickpea [Cicer arietinum (L.)] cultivars ‘ICCV-2’ and ‘Sarah’ were studied along with a control, multistrain, TAL 1148, and TAL 480 Bradyrhizobium strains to determine the effect(s) of cultivar and inoculum on dry weight (DW) and nitrogen (N) content of the legume, as well as soil mineral N, DW, and N content of wheat [Triticum aestivum (L.) emend. Thell.] in a continuous wheat-legume rotation. Chickpeas were planted during the summer and harvested in the fall of 1992, 1993, and 1994. Vegetative growth from chickpeas was incorporated into the soil prior to wheat planting, and soil cores were taken at …

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station has been working with partridge pea since 1944. Seed has been distributed for tests, and several farmers are now growing it. It is primarily a plant for soil conservation and soil improvement. Its value in comparison with other legumes have not been fully established.
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is the purpose of this circular to summarize the 1948-51 results of fertilizer applications upon subirrigated native meadows. It is upon these lands that the cattleman depends to a large extent for winter feed.
Microorganisms And Their Effects On Crops And Soils, T. M. Mccalla, T. H. Goodding
Microorganisms And Their Effects On Crops And Soils, T. M. Mccalla, T. H. Goodding
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Many of the cropping and tillage practices that a farmer uses are effective in crop productivity because of their influence on microbial activity.
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Hairy vetch is a winter annual legume. It may be planted either in the spring or fall. Hairy vetch often succeeds on soils where sweet clover and alfalfa fail. It is more tolerant to acid (lime-deficient) soils than most leguminous crops.
