Heritability And Genetic Gain Of Seed Protein, Oil, And Yield Among Ril Of Soybean, Benjamin T. Wiggins
Heritability And Genetic Gain Of Seed Protein, Oil, And Yield Among Ril Of Soybean, Benjamin T. Wiggins
Masters Theses
Soybean is a remarkable crop that is used in many aspects of our everyday lives. The seed protein is used primarily for livestock feed, though it is becoming more available as a meat substitute for human consumption. Soybean oil is used in many products such as plastics, foods, and industrial products. Seed yield is the major trait that is selected for in a breeding program. A population of 239 F4 derived RIL from the cross of USG 5601T × U99-310255 was used to calculate heritability estimates by parent offspring regression and on an entry mean basis. This population was …

Two Studies Evaluating Input Use In Soybean And Cotton Production, Nathanael Mark Thompson
Two Studies Evaluating Input Use In Soybean And Cotton Production, Nathanael Mark Thompson
Masters Theses
Farmers are price takers for both inputs and outputs. Therefore, when the prices of inputs rise, as they have with many inputs used in agricultural production, optimal production practices may change. Two separate studies of the impacts of agricultural technology on input use in crop production were undertaken in this thesis. The first study evaluated economically optimal plant population considering seeding rate, maturity group, row spacing, and input-output prices in soybean production in the rolling uplands region of the upper Midsouthern United States. Data from field experiments at the University of Tennessee Research and Education Center at Milan, Tennessee during …
