Phenological And Cultural Studies Of Common Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale Weber), Don Carlisle
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Phenological and cultural studies of common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber) were conducted from 1969 to 1971 at Bowling Green, Kentucky. The phenological studies were based upon dandelion plants which were found growing in a Kentucky bluegrass lawn or in open lots. At this location the dandelion flowered throughout the year. Maximum flowering occurred during April and a secondary peak occurred in September and October. The number of flowering stems per square meter was not correlated significantly with precipitation, temperature, or day length. Length of stem was positively correlated with temperature and day length. The plants exhibited diurnal variation in flowering …

Yield And Chemical Composition Of Barley Silage, John Henry James
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The potential of Barsoy barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) as a silage crop was studied at Western Kentucky University in 1970-1971. The field study was conducted at two locations. Barley was seeded at the rate of 107.5 kg/ha in a Pembroke silt loam soil at both locations in September, 1970. At the time of planting the soil was fertilized with 7.5, 32.4 and 33.1 kg/ha of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, respectively. Plants at location 2 received an additional 23.7 kg/ha of nitrogen in February, 1971.
Whole barley plants were harvested at weekly intervals from March 11 through June 3 at …
Yield, Crude Protein & Crude Fiber Content Of Three Forage Sorghum Cultivars During The Growing Season & After Frost, William Davis
Yield, Crude Protein & Crude Fiber Content Of Three Forage Sorghum Cultivars During The Growing Season & After Frost, William Davis
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Yield, crude protein, and crude fiber of 'Piper' sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor var. sudanese (L.) Moench), and 'Sweet Sioux' and 'FFR66 1 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench) X sudangrass hybrids were studied during the growing season and after frost.
Three treatments were studied, namely--4-s (four summer harvests and short or about 0.6 m at the time of frost), 3-M (three summer harvests and medium or 1.5 in at the time of frost), 2-T (two summer harvests and tall or 2.0 in at the time of frost). Dry matter yield, crude protein, and crude fiber were calculated.
The three cultivars …
