Forage Quality Evaluations Of Twelve Grasses In Relation To Season For Grazing, L. C. Newell, W. J. Moline
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.
Sulfur Fertilization Of Alfalfa And Corn On The Sandy Soils Of Nebraska, G. W. Rehm
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
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.
Ec78-1744 Prairie Fires And The Nebraska Pioneer, Donald E. Westover
Ec78-1744 Prairie Fires And The Nebraska Pioneer, Donald E. Westover
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
For thousands of years prairie fires were a common occurrence in the great plains region of North America. Along with wind, rain, snow, and sunshine, fire was a major ecological force. Long before the white man's influence became a factor Nebraska's prairie land had been shaped, even perpetuated by this ever present force. The following incidents are true life accounts of prairie fires as experienced by homesteaders and settlers around the turn of the century. No attempt has been made to change the grammar or the content of these stories. The words you read are those used by the contributors.
The Origins Of Spring Migratory Staging By Sandhill Cranes And White-Fronted Geese, Roger S. Sharpe
The Origins Of Spring Migratory Staging By Sandhill Cranes And White-Fronted Geese, Roger S. Sharpe
Biology Faculty Publications
A most unusual avian migratory event takes place each .,pring in the Platte River basin of Nebraska between 98 and 102 degrees longitude (Fig. 1). In suitable habitats throughout this area large concentrations of Sandhill Cranes, Crus canadensis, and White-fronted Geese, Anser albifrons, develop and achieve peak populations in mid to late March. This phenomenon is traditional to the migratory habits of specific populations and occurs during the spring movement from wintering grounds in Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico to breeding grounds far to the north in Canada and Alaska. In both species groups of individuals drift in from wintering …
