Comparing Cropping System Productivity Between Fixed Rotations And A Flexible Fallow System Using Modeling And Historical Weather Data In The Semi-Arid Central Great Plains, Juan Jose Miceli-Garcia
Comparing Cropping System Productivity Between Fixed Rotations And A Flexible Fallow System Using Modeling And Historical Weather Data In The Semi-Arid Central Great Plains, Juan Jose Miceli-Garcia
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
In the Central Great Plains, the predominant crop rotation is winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-fallow. Producers are looking to add diversity and intensity to their cropping systems by adding summer crops, however, the elimination of summer fallow may increase crop production risk. The objective of this study was to use crop simulation modeling to compare the productivity of two fixed rotations [winter wheat-corn (Zea mays L.)-fallow and winter wheat-corn-spring triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack)] with simulated flexible fallow rotations. The flexible fallow rotations made the decision to plant triticale or use summer fallow prior to winter wheat seeding based …

Arkansas Corn And Grain Sorghum Performance Tests 2010, R. D. Bond, D. G. Dombek, J. A. Still, R. M. Pryor
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series
Corn and grain sorghum performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The tests provide information to companies marketing seed within the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating recommendations for producers.

Insect-Damaged Corn Stalks Decompose At Rates Similar To Bt-Protected, Non-Damaged Corn Stalks, R. Michael Lehman, Shannon L. Osborne, Deirdre A. Prischmann-Voldseth, Kurt A. Rosentrater
Kurt A. Rosentrater
The relative decomposability of corn (Zea mays L.) residues from insect (Bt)-protected hybrids and conventional hybrids cultivated under insect pressure was investigated in two studies. Above-ground biomass, residue macromolecular composition, and stalk physical strength were also measured. In the first decomposition study, chopped residues (stalks and leaves) were used from a corn rootworm-protected (Cry3Bb1) hybrid and its non-Bt near isoline that were grown in replicated plots infested with corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp.). In the second study, residue (intact stalk sections) was used from three European corn borer (ECB, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner)-resistant (Cry1Ab) hybrids representing different seed manufacturer/maturity date series, their …

Sp341-Q Sugarcane Beetle In Field Corn, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
The sugarcane beetle is an occasional pest of field corn in Tennessee. Infestations have been spotty to date and not too damaging in terms of stand and yield losses. However, the beetle caused serious damage in corn during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons. The fields affected were corn planted into pasture, sod or no-till and some conventional tillage corn.

Yield Potential And Resource-Use Efficiency Of Maize Systems In The Western U.S. Corn Belt, Patricio Grassini
Yield Potential And Resource-Use Efficiency Of Maize Systems In The Western U.S. Corn Belt, Patricio Grassini
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Maize demand for food, livestock feed, and biofuel is expected to increase substantially. The Western U.S. Corn Belt accounts for 23% of U.S. maize production, and irrigated maize accounts for 43 and 58% of maize land area and total production, respectively, in this region. The most sensitive parameters (yield potential [YP], water-limited yield potential [YP-W], yield gap between actual yield and YP, and resource-use efficiency) governing performance of maize systems in the region are lacking. A simulation model was used to quantify YP under irrigated and rainfed conditions based on weather data, soil properties, and crop management at 18 locations. …
