Geological Field Guide To The Cedar Point Biological Station, Keith County, Nebraska, Robert F. Diffendal Jr., Roger K. Pabian Feb 1993

Geological Field Guide To The Cedar Point Biological Station, Keith County, Nebraska, Robert F. Diffendal Jr., Roger K. Pabian

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

This field guide was produced by staff members of the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska originally in 1979 at the request of Dr. Brent Nickol, former Director of the Cedar Point Biological Station. It is an introduction to the geologic history and paleoecology of the Cedar Point area intended for students, staff, and other persons using the camp. This revision has been made some 15 years after the first version to reflect changes in ideas resulting from new data collected during that time.

Users of this guide should take care when studying the rock exposures described …

G93-1131 Clover Mites And Their Management, Shripat T. Kamble, David L. Keith, Robert W. Davis Jan 1993

G93-1131 Clover Mites And Their Management, Shripat T. Kamble, David L. Keith, Robert W. Davis

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This guide describes the life cycle of clover mites and offers strategies for controlling them.

Clover mites are common nuisance pests in Nebraska, often invading homes and other properties in enormous numbers. These tiny pests are most troublesome in early spring and again in fall, especially on the east and south sides of buildings. Also, they frequently appear on window sills during the winter months, on relatively warm, calm, sunny days. The clover mite is not an insect but is a relative of spiders and ticks. The full-grown clover mite is slightly smaller than a pin head and has a …


G93-1182 Best Management Practices For Agricultural Pesticides To Protect Water Resources, Robert J. Wright, J. F. Witkowski, Larry D. Schulze Jan 1993

G93-1182 Best Management Practices For Agricultural Pesticides To Protect Water Resources, Robert J. Wright, J. F. Witkowski, Larry D. Schulze

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses what happens to pesticides after application, factors affecting pesticide movement, and best management practices to minimize the potential for pesticide contamination of ground and surface water.

Users of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals must take appropriate precautions to reduce the risks of moving these materials into ground or surface water. The primary consideration should be whether the chemical is needed. If pesticides are needed, then the characteristics of the chemical, the sensitivity of the application site and the method of application should be considered.

Ec93-131 Alfalfa Analyst Jan 1993

Ec93-131 Alfalfa Analyst

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Alfalfa is a vigorous and productive crop. Like all farm crops, however, alfalfa is subject to stand injury and yield loss from disease, insect injury and nutrient deficiencies. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of a problem can allow early treatment to modify or correct the situation before yields are seriously affected or stands are lost.

The purpose of the Alfalfa Analyst is to provide an identification guide to alfalfa diseases, nutrient deficiency symptoms and problem insects. Please use it to help identify any alfalfa problems you may have. Then secure specific up-to-date control recommendations from your local, county or state agricultural …

G93-1169 Coalitions For Building Community Understanding (Revised April 1994), Georgia L. Stevens Jan 1993

G93-1169 Coalitions For Building Community Understanding (Revised April 1994), Georgia L. Stevens

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide identifies eight steps for coalitions involved in building community understanding and applies them to the issue of school-age child care.

The process of building community understanding is an important one, regardless of the area of concern. As more and more citizens recognize a particular problem, that problem moves from the private to the public domain and requires the involvement of a larger segment of the community. Though this NebGuide deals specifically with the example of school-age child care, the process of involving the whole community is relevant to any area of policy-making.

G93-1145 Management Of The Army Cutworm And Pale Western Cutworm, Gary L. Hein, John B. Campbell, Stephen D. Danielson, James A. Kalisch Jan 1993

G93-1145 Management Of The Army Cutworm And Pale Western Cutworm, Gary L. Hein, John B. Campbell, Stephen D. Danielson, James A. Kalisch

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide describes the life cycle of the army cutworm and pale western cutworm, and provides recommendations for management.

The army cutworm, Euxoa auxiliaris, and the pale western cutworm, Agrotis orthogonia, are sporadic pests that are distributed throughout the Great Plains. The army cutworm can be found throughout Nebraska, but is more common in the western half of the state. Because of the drier environment, the pale western cutworm is found only in the western third of Nebraska. Both cutworms can feed on a vast array of crops and weeds. Their major economic impact is limited to winter …


G93-1141 Dairy Cattle Insect Management, John B. Campbell Jan 1993

G93-1141 Dairy Cattle Insect Management, John B. Campbell

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Information on controlling flies, lice, grubs and mange mites on dairy cattle is found here.

House, stable and blow flies may be pests of dairy cattle kept on lots. These flies (filth flies) breed in spilled feed, bedding, decaying organic matter and manure mixed with moisture, dirt and organic matter. Sanitation is the first and most important step in control of filth flies.


G93-1158 Questions And Answers About Atrazine, Fred Roeth, S.D. Comfort Jan 1993

G93-1158 Questions And Answers About Atrazine, Fred Roeth, S.D. Comfort

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide addresses some of the current concerns about atrazine and water quality. Included are some questions and answers about atrazine regarding toxicity, EPA guidelines, presence in water supplies, weed resistance and best management practices. What is atrazine? Atrazine is a herbicide that selectively controls broadleaf (dicot) weeds, such as pigweed, cocklebur, velvetleaf and certain grass weeds in fields of corn and sorghum. Selective control means that the target weeds are controlled, with little or no injury to the crop. Atrazine is well tolerated by actively growing corn and sorghum, which absorb and metabolize the herbicide and thereby detoxify it.


G93-1150 Rinsing Pesticide Containers, Larry D. Schulze, Clyde Ogg Jan 1993

G93-1150 Rinsing Pesticide Containers, Larry D. Schulze, Clyde Ogg

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

It is estimated that every year one million plastic agricultural pesticide containers are used in Nebraska. Effective rinsing of these containers saves money, protects the environment and meets federal and state regulations on pesticide use.

Proper rinsing of pesticide containers is easy to do, saves money and helps protect people and the environment. It also helps prevent potential problems with unrinsed containers and storage of the rinse solution (rinsate). Even during a busy season, the few extra minutes it takes to properly rinse empty pesticide containers is time well spent.
