Growing Proso In Nebraska, P. H. Grabouski
Growing Proso In Nebraska, P. H. Grabouski
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Proso, sometimes called "hog millet," is receiving attention in the Nebraska Panhandle as a dryland grain crop because of acreage restrictions and limited crop alternatives.
Revised Grain Standards...Their Effect On Nebraska Wheat In 1957, J. A. Goodding, C. J. Miller
Revised Grain Standards...Their Effect On Nebraska Wheat In 1957, J. A. Goodding, C. J. Miller
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Although Federal grain standards for Hard Red Winter Wheat were revised in 1957, a Nebraska Experiment Station study shows that the new regulations had very little effect on grades received by wheat marketed at country points by Nebraska farmers in 1957. Results of the study are described in this circular.
Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The purpose of this bulletin is to bring together the latest information available on the production of dry edible beans under irrigation in Nebraska. Cultural practices and disease control are stressed, but included are items on marketing, cleaning, and the use of by-products - straw and cull beans.
Introduced Forage Grasses For Nebraska, F. D. Keim, L. C. Newell
Introduced Forage Grasses For Nebraska, F. D. Keim, L. C. Newell
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
This circular presents illustrations, descriptions and recommended usage of fourteen introduced cultivated grasses that are worthy of practical consideration in Nebraska. Most of them can easily be identified by comparing plant specimens with the illustrations and descriptions. This circular has been prepared for use by farmers, county agricultural agents, teachers and others who are interested in our most important grasses. Station Circular 59 contains information and illustrations of the more common native perennial grasses of Nebraska.
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is the purpose of this circular to summarize the 1948-51 results of fertilizer applications upon subirrigated native meadows. It is upon these lands that the cattleman depends to a large extent for winter feed.
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Hairy Vetch For Nebraska, T. H. Goodding
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Hairy vetch is a winter annual legume. It may be planted either in the spring or fall. Hairy vetch often succeeds on soils where sweet clover and alfalfa fail. It is more tolerant to acid (lime-deficient) soils than most leguminous crops.
Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax
Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.
Bindweed Eradication In Nebraska, N. S. Hanson, F. D. Keim, D. L. Gross
Bindweed Eradication In Nebraska, N. S. Hanson, F. D. Keim, D. L. Gross
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Bindweed, which is easily recognized by its creeping, entwining habit of growth, is Nebraska's most destructive weed because of its effect on crop plants. Its total annual cost to the agricultural industry of the state is several million dollars, which ultimately affects all those citizens who depend directly or indirectly upon income from agriculture.
Leoti For Starch, R. L. Cushing
Leoti For Starch, R. L. Cushing
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The popular forage crop, Leoti sorghum, has possibilities of becoming an important special purpose grain crop for industrial utilization. Investigations of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry have shown that starch manufactured from the waxy grain of this variety has properties similar to those of tapioca starch. Tapioca starch, made from the roots of the cassava plant, has been imported by the United States to the extent of 175,000 tons annually. The chief source of supply, the Dutch East Indies, has been eliminated by the war, and domestic substitutes are being urgently sought by the industry. This type of starch is …
Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell
Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
A native of the old world, from central Europe to China, bromegrass was introduced into the United States about 1884. In 1899, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station reported that "all things considered, it is the most promising cultivated pasture grass for this state that has been tested on the Station farm." Early records of the Station show that considerable seed was distributed to farmers during the period from 1898 to 1902. A few of these early plantings are still in existence. Bromegrass increased in popularity in Nebraska until about 1910. Very little interest was shown in this crop during the …
Hardy Alfalfa For Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, A. Anderson
Hardy Alfalfa For Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, A. Anderson
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Comparative tests of varieties and regional strains of common alfalfa at the Nebraska Experiment Station have clearly indicated that winter hardiness is an important factor to be considered when purchasing alfalfa seed. Much of the seed sold in the United States has proved inferior in this regard for Nebraska conditions. The use of southern-grown domestic seed or seed imported from countries with a much milder climate than that of Nebraska should be avoided in this state. On the other hand, reliance may be placed on the seed of hardy varieties or hardy regional strains of common alfalfa grown in Nebraska …
