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 …

G93-1128 Understanding Groundwater, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, James W. Goeke
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides information on how groundwater exists, where it exists, and how it moves. Key definitions are highlighted. Water is the life blood of every living creature on earth. Approximately 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water. Through the wonders of nature, water can take on many different forms, from the water we drink, to the ice we use to chill a glass of lemonade, to the water vapor used to steam clean equipment. It is easy to understand the significance water plays in our lives, but it may be much more difficult to understand the …
G93-1149 Stripe Smut Disease Of Turfgrass, John E. Watkins, Roch E. Gaussoin
G93-1149 Stripe Smut Disease Of Turfgrass, John E. Watkins, Roch E. Gaussoin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Ways to identify and treat smut fungi are given here.
Smut fungi infect various grasses, either cultivated or found naturally in the wild. In turfgrass, one of the most common smut diseases is stripe smut caused by Ustilago striiformis.
Stripe smut occurs most commonly on Kentucky bluegrass, occasionally on bentgrass and rarely on fine fescues and perennial ryegrass; it has not been reported to occur on zoysia. The widespread use of susceptible Kentucky bluegrass cultivars has contributed to the common occurrence of stripe smut.
Stripe smut should not be taken lightly by turfgrass managers. Infection causes a general decline, …
G93-1168 Moisture Testing Of Grain, Hay And Silage, Bruce Anderson, Rick Grant
G93-1168 Moisture Testing Of Grain, Hay And Silage, Bruce Anderson, Rick Grant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide offers methods to help producers test moisture content of grain, hay, silage and other feeds.
Knowing the moisture and dry matter (DM) content of feeds is important to farmers for several reasons:
1. Livestock performance depends on DM consumed; thus, DM content must be known to accurately formulate rations.
2. Knowledge of moisture content is needed for harvest decisions during haying and silage chopping and for safe storage of grains, hay, and silage.
3. Moisture content is a major factor related to the value, or price, of forages and grain.
Every producer should be able to test for …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide tells how to select, prepare and apply interfacing to enhance garment quality.
Interfacing is a supportive fabric placed between the facing and garment fabric. Although hidden from view, it is a critical part of clothing construction.

G93-1125 Lining A Jacket Or Coat, Rose Marie Tondl
G93-1125 Lining A Jacket Or Coat, Rose Marie Tondl
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The purpose of a lining is to add to the comfort of the wearer; preserve the shape of a garment or add body to it; and conceal construction details and raw edges of fabric, thus giving a finished appearance to the inside of the garment. A neatly applied lining usually adds to a garment quality.
The fabric and style of the garment may influence whether a lining should be used. Woven fabrics are more frequently lined (to conceal raw edges) than knit fabrics. If a woven fabric coat or jacket is not lined, give seam allowances and facings a special …

G93-1191 Glossary Of Water-Related Terms, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, James W. Goeke, David Gosselin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide is a glossary of water quantity, quality and human health related terms involving water. Terms are defined in contexts that could affect Nebraskans. We depend upon water for our very existence. The impact of water quality and quantity issues has never been greater. Yet the terminology used to describe the water we drink, the water we provide to plants and animals, the water stored underground, in lakes, rivers, and oceans, is not well understood by many Nebraskans. This listing of water-related terms is intended to reduce the potential for misunderstanding presentations made by elected officials, environmental agencies and …

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.

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

G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide identifies ways to control horn flies on cattle.
The horn fly is a blood-feeder that feeds 20 to 30 times per day. A population of several thousand horn flies may be present on one animal. When large numbers of these flies are on cattle, the cattle bunch and expend considerable effort fighting the flies. They will often stand in water or seek shade trying to get relief from the flies. When they do this, they fail to graze normally.
Studies in the United States and Canada show that during the grazing season yearling cattle free from horn flies …
