G97-1324 Beef Cattle Implant Update, Dicky D. Griffin, Terry L. Mader
G97-1324 Beef Cattle Implant Update, Dicky D. Griffin, Terry L. Mader
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the mechanism of action and use strategies for growth promoting implants, including expected responses and cost analysis.
Introduction
Growth promoting implants have been used extensively in beef production for over 30 years. Significant changes in implants and implanting strategies have occurred. Prior to 1987, available implants were estrogenic agents which metabolically enhanced nutrient use to enhance growth. These products improved feed efficiency 5-10 percent and daily gains from 5-15 percent. In 1987, the androgenic (tissue building) agent, trenbolone acetate, was approved for use in growth promoting implants. This compound had an additive effect with existing estrogenic implants. …

Irrigation takes some risk out of crop production by providing a reliable source of water that allows the producer to manage soil water. Monitoring soil water is fundamental to determining how much irrigation water should be applied, and when the soil is able to store the amount of water to be applied.
This publication describes how to use soil mositure blocks to schedule irrigations in fine textured soils.
G85-753 Irrigation Scheduling Using Crop Water Use Data, C. Dean Yonts, Norman L. Klocke
G85-753 Irrigation Scheduling Using Crop Water Use Data, C. Dean Yonts, Norman L. Klocke
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes using the "checkbook" method to schedule irrigations based on crop water use data.
Irrigation scheduling determines when and how much water to apply to meet crop demand. Soil water status and current crop water use are key factors for scheduling irrigations. Field observations and crop growth stage are important, but scheduled irrigations result in better rainfall use while avoiding crop water stress or excessive irrigation.

G77-340 Scheduling Irrigation By Electrical Resistance Blocks, Paul E. Fischbach
G77-340 Scheduling Irrigation By Electrical Resistance Blocks, Paul E. Fischbach
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Delay of irrigation for a few days during a critical part of the growing season can be expensive. A week's delay in supplying irrigation water to corn or grain sorghum can reduce potential yield more than 30 bushels per acre.
Several methods are available to help you schedule the right amount of water at the right time. One of these methods uses electrical resistance blocks discussed in this NebGuide.
