Results Of The Sixth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1974, K. D. Wilhelmi, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the sixth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes, and (3) test the degree of expression and stability of …

Capital Investment Requirements For A 500, 1,000 And 10,000 Head Cattle Feedlot, Robert Allen, Myron Eighmy, David Jibben

Economics Research Reports

The purpose of this study is to figure the fixed costs of constructing and equipping a 500, 1,000 or 10,000 cattle feedlot given certain assumptions and restrictions, and to analyze those costs in terms of economic efficiency. The fixed costs are divided into six areas of analysis: the equipment of the feedlot, the pole buildings, the concrete flooring for the pole buildings, the feedlot building materials, the feedlot storage equipment and the waste disposal.

Effects Of Time Of Application Of Glyphosate In The Control Of Johnsongrass, Marlin Moody

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Investigations were conducted to determine the effects of the herbicide glyphosate and its time of application on the control of johnsongrass.

Johnsongrass plots were divided into areas designated undisturbed, spring plowed, and clipped. These areas were compared to determine differences in control of johnsongrass when using glyphosate with different management procedures. Glyphosate was applied at weekly intervals and treatment effects were statistically analyzed. There were three replications of each treatment.

It appears from the results that:

1. Glyphosate kills approximately 100% of the johnsongrass topgrowth regardless of the application date.

2. Height of the johnsongrass plant at the time of glyphosate application …

Factors Influencing Tennessee Teen 4-H Leader's Perception And Performance Of Leadership Tasks, Martha Jo Tolley

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to explore the role perceptions of teen leaders and to identify some factors which influenced their role performance.

The population of the study consisted of all 453 4-H members who attended the 1975 State 4-H Round-Up at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

The data were organized under five major headings: (1) personal characteristics of respondents, (2) perceptions teen leaders had of their role in the 4-H organization, (3) relation between teen leaders' role performance and their feelings of preparedness to perform the leadership role, (4) influence of personal, 4-H participation, and leadership characteristics …

Evaluation Of Glyphosate In No-Till Double Crop Soybeans Using Varying Volumes & Pressures, Charles Rogers

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

No-tillage production of crops has developed and become widespread since the late 1950/s. No-till is dependent upon the use of broad spectrum herbicides to kill weeds already growing at planting time. Until recently, this has almost exclusively been paraquat (1,1'-dimethy1-4,4'-bipyridinium ion). Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is a new herbicide which has great potential for use in no -tillage production.

Soybeans (Glycine max L.) were planted in the stubble after wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was harvested. All plots received applications of the residual herbicides alachlor [2-chioro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] and linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenv1)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea]. Each plot also received either paraquat or glyphosate or was designated as …
