The Effects Of Heat Stress On High Oil Corn, Summer Goldman
The Effects Of Heat Stress On High Oil Corn, Summer Goldman
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
High oil corn (HOC) is essentially dent corn that has been selected for high oil content in the scutellum. It is a value-added crop that can potentially offer a premium price for producers. Though southeastern U.S. producers have not had problems achieving sufficient yields, the oil content necessary for premium prices has been elusive. One of the most evident differences between these growers and their northern counterparts is the climate. Temperatures during the reproductive growth and grain fill periods are higher in southern latitudes. A two-part research project was conducted to further investigate the significance of temperature on oil content. …

Sunflower, Helianthus Annus L., Cut Flower Variety Trial, Pavani Vuppalapti
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Sunflower, Helianthus annus L., native of North America, is widely grown for oil, bird feed, and human snacks. More recently, sunflower is gaining acceptance as an ornamental potted plant and as a cut flower in the florist industry. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To evaluate diverse cultivars of sunflower for their performance under field and greenhouse conditions. 2. To explore the potential of sunflower in the local florist industry. 3. To exhibit the diversity of sunflower characteristics to the public. In 2004, studies were conducted during the spring and summer in the field and during fall and …
A Comparison Of Intrauterine And Cervical Artificial Insemination Rods On Farrowing Rate And Litter Size In Artificially Mated Sows, Robert Fitzgerald
A Comparison Of Intrauterine And Cervical Artificial Insemination Rods On Farrowing Rate And Litter Size In Artificially Mated Sows, Robert Fitzgerald
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This experiment compared the effects of two artificial insemination (AI) rods on farrowing rate and number of piglets born per litter. Three hundred eighty-nine sows were allotted into two experimental groups based on parity, body condition, and breed of sire influence of the sows. One hundred ninety-three matings were performed using the experimental intrauterine rod, and one hundred ninety-six matings were performed using the traditional cervical rod as the control. Total number of piglets born per litter was measured after each sow farrowed, and the farrowing rates were calculated at the end of the study. Farrowing rates were 68% and …
