Differential Plant Injury And Yield Responses Of Tomato Varieties To 2,4-D, D. P. Coyne, O. C. Burnside
Differential Plant Injury And Yield Responses Of Tomato Varieties To 2,4-D, D. P. Coyne, O. C. Burnside
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Experiments reported in this bulletin were conducted to determine the extent of plant injury and yield loss due to high and low rates of 2,4-D sprays on a wide range of home garden and processing tomato varieties. Results of this study could be used as a basis for suggesting tomato varieties suitable for growing in areas where 2,4-D drift is a common problem. An experiment was also conducted to determine if there was resistance to or good recovery from 2,4-D injury in other tomato species and in a wide collection of tomato plant introductions.
Tuber Development In Triumph Potatoes As Influenced By Time Of Planting On Dry Land In Northwestern Nebraska, H. O. Werner
Tuber Development In Triumph Potatoes As Influenced By Time Of Planting On Dry Land In Northwestern Nebraska, H. O. Werner
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Triumph potatoes were planted on four different dates during six years in order to determine the best planting date on dry land in northwestern Nebraska, where this variety is grown primarily for seed. Features considered in comparing the merits of these planting dates were: stand of plants; vine growth; disease prevalence; time of plant maturity; number, size, and shape of tubers; cracking at harvest time; prevalence and severity of common scab; total yields and yields of various grades of potatoes from various harvesting dates; weight loss in storage; and duration of the dormant period. The experimental aspects dealing with the …

Seed Potato Investigations, H. O. Werner, R. F. Howard
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The objects of the investigations reported in this bulletin were:
- To determine the condition of western Nebraska seed stock by the tuber unit method and by comparative trials in western Nebraska and various other points.
- To determine the effect of culture, place, disease, etc., upon seed value.
- To perfect methods of applying results to seed production in western Nebraska.
