Forage Quality Evaluations Of Twelve Grasses In Relation To Season For Grazing, L. C. Newell, W. J. Moline Aug 1978

Forage Quality Evaluations Of Twelve Grasses In Relation To Season For Grazing, L. C. Newell, W. J. Moline

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

A study of forage quality in relation to seasonal yield of important perennial forage grasses was initiated to provide information and to promote a better understanding of their best use for grazing. This information should be particularly valuable in planning seasonal use of pure stands or mixtures of grasses.


Results Of The Eighth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1976, K. D. Wilhelmi, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt Jul 1978

Results Of The Eighth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1976, K. D. Wilhelmi, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the eighth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Science and Education Administration (SEA), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes, (3) test the degree of expression …


Sulfur Fertilization Of Alfalfa And Corn On The Sandy Soils Of Nebraska, G. W. Rehm Jul 1978

Sulfur Fertilization Of Alfalfa And Corn On The Sandy Soils Of Nebraska, G. W. Rehm

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Objectives of these studies were: 1. To determine the effect of various S fertilizers and rates of S application on the yield of both alfalfa and corn grown on sandy soils. 2. To determine the residual effects of a single application of S fertilizer on the production of alfalfa. 3. To measure the influence of S fertilizers and the rate of S applied on the S content of corn and alfalfa tissue and S uptake by these two crops. 4. To develop a soil testing procedure which accurately predicts the requirement for the application of S fertilizers to alfalfa and …


Results Of The First High Protein-High Lysine Wheat Observation Nursery Grown In 1975, K. D. Wilhelmi, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern Apr 1978

Results Of The First High Protein-High Lysine Wheat Observation Nursery Grown In 1975, K. D. Wilhelmi, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the first report of results from a high protein-high lysine observation (HP-HL) nursery organized in 1974 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. Primary objectives of this nursery are to: (1) Systematically provide breeders and cooperators with superior genetic germplasm for elevated levels of protein and/or lysine. (2) Test the degree of expression of the high protein and high lysine traits in a diverse array of environments.
