University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

History
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) was first observed in 1986 in the United States and in 1990 in Europe. The syndrome was initially called Mystery Pig Disease in the United States since no known swine pathogens could be implicated. A number of titles have been used to describe this disease syndrome: swine infertility and respiratory syndrome (SIRS), porcine epidemic abortions and respiratory syndrome (PEARS), blue-eared pig disease as well as others. Since 1992, PRRS has been the …

G96-1309 Child Abuse: A Painful Secret, Herbert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication examines causes and prevention of child abuse.
Child abuse was not recognized as a serious problem in the U.S. until the 1960s. Data collected by The Children's Defense fund reveals that a child is reported abused or neglected every 13 seconds, of every hour, of every day, 365 days per year. This means that nearly three million boys and girls are confirmed as being abused each year--two percent of the nation's children. In 1995, 140,000 children were treated in hospitals and 2,000 children died from the abuse.
In Nebraska in the last ten years, approximately 8,000 cases of …

This NebFact informs you how to plan your insurance coverage and includes a form for you …

G96-1310 Ornamental Grasses In Nebraska Landscapes (Revised May 1999), Don Steinegger, John C. Fech, Dale T. Lindgren, Anne Streich
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the selection of and care for ornamental grasses.
Although grasses are an important component of Great Plains flora, Midwesterners have only recently incorporated them into landscape plantings. Many homeowners are acquiring plants such as ornamental grasses because they tolerate or even benefit from lower application rates of nitrogen and pesticides. Ornamental grasses tolerate drought, wetness, and fluctuating winter temperatures. They are resistant to most diseases and insect pests and require minimum inputs of fertilizer. Because of these characteristics they are useful to gardeners interested in a low-input or sustainable landscape.

Ec96-1555 Insect Pest Management Strategies For Yards And Gardens, Frederick P. Baxendale, Robert J. Wright
Ec96-1555 Insect Pest Management Strategies For Yards And Gardens, Frederick P. Baxendale, Robert J. Wright
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A growing awareness of problems associated with overusing pesticides has prompted many home gardeners and landscape managers to seek alternative methods of insect control. Integrated pest management (IPM) uses suitable methods in a compatible manner to maintain pest densities below levels of unacceptable injury.
IPM principles can be applied to all pest groups (insects, mites, weeds, plant diseases and vertebrates), and urban as well as agricultural settings. This publication will discuss how integrated pest management can be applied to insect and mite management in yards and gardens.

G96-1300 Insects That Feed On Corn Ears, David L. Keith, J. F. Witkowski
G96-1300 Insects That Feed On Corn Ears, David L. Keith, J. F. Witkowski
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
How to identify mature and immature insects that infest and damage ears of corn.
Several kinds of insects infest the developing ears of corn, raising farmers' concerns and sometimes causing economic damage. Some of these insects can reduce both yield and quality of seed corn, pop corn, sweet corn and field corn. Control decisions depend in part on the economics of the corn crop produced. In many cases, particularly in field corn where the value of the crop per acre is somewhat lower, the insects may not be sufficiently damaging to require control. The higher value of seed corn compared …
G96-1302 Managing Varroa In The Midwest, Marion D. Ellis, Frederick P. Baxendale
G96-1302 Managing Varroa In The Midwest, Marion D. Ellis, Frederick P. Baxendale
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
There are important regional differences in varroa population dynamics and control. This NebGuide offers recommendations on varroa management for beekeepers in the Midwest.
Varroa management has become an essential aspect of successful beekeeping since the mite was first discovered in the United States in 1987. Unlike most parasites which coexist with their host, varroa eventually destroy honey bee colonies of European descent. A good understanding of this important bee parasite is essential for successful beekeeping.
