Ec27-811 Harvesting Wheat In Nebraska With The Combined Harvester Thresher 1926, Arthur G. George
Ec27-811 Harvesting Wheat In Nebraska With The Combined Harvester Thresher 1926, Arthur G. George
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Frequent inquiry from wheat growers in Nebraska and others as to the relative merits of the combined harvester-thresher as an efficienct and economical harvesting machine led the Nebraska Agricultural College to make a study of this problem in the summer of 1926. The work was carried on by the Departments of Rural Economics and Agricultural Engineering, cooperating with the United States Department of Agriculture which was conducting a similar survey in different parts of the United States. Perkins county, Nebraska, was the area selected for study as it is more or less typical of those parts of the state where …
The Differential Reaction Of Strains Within A Variety Of Wheat To Physiologic Forms Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici, T. A. Kiesselbach, George L. Peltier
The Differential Reaction Of Strains Within A Variety Of Wheat To Physiologic Forms Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici, T. A. Kiesselbach, George L. Peltier
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
Black stem rust of wheat (Puccinia graminis tritici (Pers.) Erikss. & Henn.), which occurs in Nebraska and thruout most of the wheat producing regions of the world, is of a composite nature, in that it consists of a number of physiologic forms which can be determined by their action on different varieties of Triticum species, as shown by Stakman and Levine. The ordinary commercial variety of wheat may likewise be regarded as a mixture, in that it consists of numerous strains, which differ in some more or less important characteristics, as has been frequently indicated in the literature concerning …
Ec129 Profitable Wheat Production, P. H. Stewart, D. L. Gross
Ec129 Profitable Wheat Production, P. H. Stewart, D. L. Gross
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
More profitable wheat production, rather that greater total production in Nebraska, is the object of this Extension circular 129. the grower who has the largest acreage of wheat does not necessarily make the greatest profit. High yields per acre usually mean a lower cost and a great profit per bushel. Wheat of high quality brings additional profits. High yield and quality are usually the combines result of good seed, disease prevention, crop rotations, a well-prepared seed bed, the proper time of seeding, and reasonable care in harvesting, threshing and storing.

A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. Iv. Overwintering Of Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici. V. The Period Of Initial Infection Of Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici On Wheat. Vi. Influence Of Light On Infection And Subsequent Development Of Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici On Wheat, George L. Peltier
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
IV. In order to ascertain whether the urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici (Pers.) Erikss. and Henn. overwinter under the environmental conditions prevailing at Lincoln, Nebraska, a series of experiments was carried out extending over a period of 5 years. The results of this investigation are briefly presented. V. By the period of initial infection is meant the time required by a pathogen after it reaches a susceptible plant part to enter the tissues. To determine what the period of initial infection of urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici might be, experiments were undertaken during the season of 1923-24 using urediniospores of …
A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. Iii. Further Studies Of The Viability Of Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici, George L. Peltier
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
1. The influence of relative humidity and temperature on the viability of the urediniospores of two Physiologic Forms of Puccinia graminis tritici has been determined. 2. The same general relation between the viability of the urediniospores and the relative humidity and temperature was found, namely, that the lower the temperature the longer the spores retained their viability at all relative humidities, while at any stated temperature the spores were viable the longest at the medium humidities. 3. Urediniospores of Physiologic Form XXI held at 49.0 per cent relative humidity and maintained at a temperature of 5° C. when tested for …
A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. Ii. Infection Studies With Puccinia Graminis Tritici Form Iii And Form Ix, George L. Peltier
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
Stakman and Levine have shown that Puccinia graminis tritici (Pers.) Erikss. and Henn. consists of a number of biologic forms, which can be determined by their action on different varieties of Triticum species. To date 37 such biologic forms have been identified by them through the parasitic action on 12 differential hosts chosen from a large number of varieties of Triticum species. To determine whether these biologic forms remain constant in their behavior under various environmental conditions, a detailed study of the host-parasite relation was undertaken with 2 of these forms. At the same time an opportunity was afforded to …
The Plains False Wireworm And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
The Plains False Wireworm And Its Control, M. H. Swenk
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The last three crops of winter wheat, and especially the crop of 1922-23, have been seriously injured in southwestern Nebraska and especially on the dry land farms of Cheyenne, Kimball, Banner, Morrill, Garden, Deuel , Keith, Perkins, and Hitchcock Counties, by an abundance of hard-bodied, cylindrical, shining waxy yellow, soil-infesting larvae. These greatly resemble wireworms and are often mistaken for them, but they differ conspicuously in being more active and having well-developed, club-shaped antennae, long and stout front legs, and a less flattened body with a distinctly upturned tip. These larvae destroy the planted seed in the fall and eat …
Ec23-120 Wheat In Nebraska, W.W. Burr, P.H. Stewart
Ec23-120 Wheat In Nebraska, W.W. Burr, P.H. Stewart
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Wheat is one of the most important crops of the world. In total world tonnage it ranks third, being surpassed only by corn and potatoes. In th United States the tonnage is second only to corn, but wheat is far more important than corn as a human food.
Wheat is more important as a human food than any other rain crop. It is in itself almost a balanced food, and from earliest times has played an important part in the development of civilization. With the development of modern machinery wheat can now be produced without almost no hand work. On …
A Study Of The Environmental Conditions Influencing The Development Of Stem Rust In The Absence Of An Alternate Host. I. The Viability Of The Urediniospores Of Puccinia Graminis Tritici Form Iii, George L. Peltier
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
No exact data are at hand regarding the influence of temperature and relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of stem rust under controlled conditions. 1. The influence of relative humidity on the viability of the urediniospores of Puccinia graminis tritici Form III is very pronounced and closely associated with temperature. 2. At high relative humidities, depending somewhat on the temperature, the percentage of germination is low and the period over which the spores are viable is very short. 3. The same relation exists at the low relative humidities except that it is not so pronounced and is more …
Studies Concerning The Elimination Of Experimental Error In Comparative Crop Tests, T. A. Kiesselbach
Studies Concerning The Elimination Of Experimental Error In Comparative Crop Tests, T. A. Kiesselbach
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
It is apparent that many sources of error have unconsciously entered into comparative crop yield tests. The very important matter of overcoming variation in soil conditions as a source of experimental error has been quite extensively studied and reported by various investigators during the past decade. The means suggested for reducing such error have been (1) repetition of plats and (2) correction of yields according to check plats planted to a uniform variety or treatment at stated intervals. Both methods have proved of value and a combination of both may often be used advantageously. Some danger always exists of error …
Relation Of Size Of Seed And Sprout Value To The Yield Of Small Grain Crops, T. A. Kiesselbach, C. A. Helm
Relation Of Size Of Seed And Sprout Value To The Yield Of Small Grain Crops, T. A. Kiesselbach, C. A. Helm
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins
A superior yielding power has frequently been attributed to the extra large seed. Since the seeds of any given crop commonly differ markedly in size, it is of importance from the standpoint of crop production to know the extent to which this difference in size may affect the yield of the crop produced. The following experiments have been conducted for the purpose of contributing further to the information upon this subject.
