Crop models are valuable tools for examining the interactions of cultivar characteristics, environment, and management practices, and how they affect crop growth and development. The difficulty in finding all the data needed to set up a simulation can often deter potential users from utilizing a crop model. Model interfaces are necessary to make these complex tools accessible to end-users who may lack the expertise needed to work with the models directly, but who would benefit from the information generated by the models. As crop models vary in terms of input and output structures, there is no one universally compatible interface, …
Canavalia Gladiata And Dolichos Lablab Extracts For Sustainable Pest Biocontrol And Plant Nutrition Improvement In El Salvador, Carlos Martinez
Canavalia Gladiata And Dolichos Lablab Extracts For Sustainable Pest Biocontrol And Plant Nutrition Improvement In El Salvador, Carlos Martinez
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Botanical repellents and pesticides are now being rediscovered as new tools for integrated pest management in order to reduce the use of toxic chemicals in crop production. Canavalia gladiata and Dolichos lablab are two Fabaceae very well adapted to farmlands of El Salvador, effective as living barriers and mostly as cover crops, however, they are not yet very well disseminated. This document describes the potential for using the liquid extracts and the dry flour of raw seeds of those plants for economic benefit and practical convenience for pest management in Salvadorian agriculture under field conditions. Seed extracts were useful when …
Wheat Height Estimation Using Lidar In Comparison To Ultrasonic Sensor And Uas, Wenan Yuan, Jiating Li, Madhav Bhatta, Yeyin Shi, P. Stephen Baenziger, Yufeng Ge

As one of the key crop traits, plant height is traditionally evaluated manually, which can be slow, laborious and prone to error. Rapid development of remote and proximal sensing technologies in recent years allows plant height to be estimated in more objective and efficient fashions, while research regarding direct comparisons between different height measurement methods seems to be lagging. In this study, a ground-based multi-sensor phenotyping system equipped with ultrasonic sensors and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) was developed. Canopy heights of 100 wheat plots were estimated five times during a season by the ground phenotyping system and an unmanned …
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.
Answers To Questions About Partridge Pea, T. H. Goodding, J. C. Russel
Answers To Questions About Partridge Pea, T. H. Goodding, J. C. Russel
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station has been working with partridge pea since 1944. Seed has been distributed for tests, and several farmers are now growing it. It is primarily a plant for soil conservation and soil improvement. Its value in comparison with other legumes have not been fully established.
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Safflower Production In The Western Part Of The Northern Great Plains, C. E. Classen
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Recent development of new varieties with seeds averaging more than 30 per cent oil give safflower a good chance of becoming an important oil seed crop in the United States. It is the purpose of this circular to acquaint farmers with the crop and to outline the most promising production practices for those who undertake its production in the western part of the northern Great Plains.

Seed And Soil Treatments For Vegetable Crops Grown In Nebraska, M. W. Felton, J. E. Livingston
Seed And Soil Treatments For Vegetable Crops Grown In Nebraska, M. W. Felton, J. E. Livingston
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Tests conducted during the past four years at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station have shown that when seeds are planted in cold, wet soils, better stands of vigorous seedlings are generally obtained when the seeds are treated before they are planted.
