Prediction Strategies For Leveraging Information Of Associated Traits Under Single- And Multi-Trait Approaches In Soybeans, Reyna Persa, Arthur Bernardeli, Diego Jarquin
Prediction Strategies For Leveraging Information Of Associated Traits Under Single- And Multi-Trait Approaches In Soybeans, Reyna Persa, Arthur Bernardeli, Diego Jarquin
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
The availability of molecular markers has revolutionized conventional ways to improve genotypes in plant and animal breeding through genome-based predictions. Several models and methods have been developed to leverage the genomic information in the prediction context to allow more efficient ways to screen and select superior genotypes. In plant breeding, usually, grain yield (yield) is the main trait to drive the selection of superior genotypes; however, in many cases, the information of associated traits is also routinely collected and it can potentially be used to enhance the selection. In this research, we considered different prediction strategies to leverage the information …
G91-1025 Two Crops In One Year: Doublecropping, Russell Moomaw, Gary Lesoing, Charles A. Francis
G91-1025 Two Crops In One Year: Doublecropping, Russell Moomaw, Gary Lesoing, Charles A. Francis
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Choice of crops, weed control, and other cultural practices for successful doublecropping are discussed here. Multiple cropping refers to growing two crops on the same field during the same year. One method of multiple cropping is doublecropping, which is when one crop is grown after the first crop is harvested. Prime USA regions for doublecropping are the eastern cornbelt, and southeastern and south central states where relatively long growing seasons and abundant rainfall occur. By contrast, shorter growing seasons and less frequent rainfall limit the potential for doublecropping in Nebraska. Irrigation is essential for successful doublecropping in Nebraska. Without irrigation, …
G91-1024 Two Crops In One Year: Relay Intercropping, Gary Lesoing, Russell Moomaw, Charles A. Francis
G91-1024 Two Crops In One Year: Relay Intercropping, Gary Lesoing, Russell Moomaw, Charles A. Francis
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication covers crop variety selection, weed control, and other cultural practices for relay intercropping a crop like soybeans into growing winter wheat or oats. Multiple cropping refers to growing two crops on the same field during the same year. One method of multiple cropping is doublecropping, which is the growing of a second crop after harvest of the first crop. In Nebraska, where opportunities for doublecropping are limited, relay intercropping is a possible alternative. In relay intercropping, two crops are in the field at the same time during part of the season. A small grain is usually relay intercropped …
Soybean Chlorosis Studies On High Ph Bottomland Soils, E. J. Penas, R. A. Wiese, R. W. Elmore, G. W. Hergert, R. S. Moomaw
Soybean Chlorosis Studies On High Ph Bottomland Soils, E. J. Penas, R. A. Wiese, R. W. Elmore, G. W. Hergert, R. S. Moomaw
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Soybean varieties are different in tolerance to lime-induced chlorosis. Field trials were conducted to evaluate variety performance on soils where chlorosis in soybeans was a known problem. Thirty-six varieties out of 177 were identified as tolerant to soil conditions that cause chlorosis. Eleven varieties of these 36 were found to have the most consistent yield performance on high pH soils. Tolerant varieties must be planted at adequate densities for best performance. A seeding rate of 13.5 seeds per foot of row, the highest seeding rate employed, did not appear to maximize yield on soils where chlorosis was severe. On some …
Yields In Different Cropping Systems And Fertilizer Tests Under Stubble Mulching And Plowing In Eastern Nebraska, F. L. Duley
Yields In Different Cropping Systems And Fertilizer Tests Under Stubble Mulching And Plowing In Eastern Nebraska, F. L. Duley
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The material in this report will be confined chiefly to studies on crop production with stubble-mulching compared with plowing. Major cash crops have been studied in different rotations including legumes and non-legume crops. In all tests, plowing has been compared with subsurface tillage. Different types of equipment have been devised and tested for the various operations during the course of these studies.
Fusarium Blight Of The Soy Bean And The Relation Of Various Factors To Infection, Richard O. Cromwell
Fusarium Blight Of The Soy Bean And The Relation Of Various Factors To Infection, Richard O. Cromwell
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
An investigation was outlined (1) to determine the parasitism of Fusarium on soy bean, (2) to establish its relationship to Fusaria of the section Elegans in so far as a comparison of the cultural characters permitted, and (3) by means of cross- inoculations and field studies to determine the relationship of this disease of soy beans to the wilt disease of cowpeas (Vigna sinensis Hassk.) caused by Fusarium tracheiphilum Smith. The results of these investigations up to the close of the summer of 1916 have been reported. The studies were continued at the North Carolina Experiment Station until the …
