Cultural Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Western Wheatgrass, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell
Cultural Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Western Wheatgrass, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Fertilization and irrigation requirements and aftermath removal practices for maximum seed production from solid stand western wheatgrass were studied for three years near Oakley, Kansas. Conclusions from this study indicate that to obtain maximum quantity of highest quality western wheatgrass seed from established stands, the grass must be fertilized in the fall with at least 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Irrigation with sufficient water to fill the root zone in either the fall or early spring and again when the grass is in " boot" or heading is necessary. The practice of removing the aftermath following harvest by mowing …
Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell
Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The objectives of this study of grass seed production were to determine the response of an established stand of a warm-season grass to irrigation and fertilizer practices with regard to the specific practices needed to produce maximum quantity of adequate quality seed per acre. Side-oats grama was chosen for the study because of the availability of adapted varieties.
The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The primary purpose of this paper is to summarize investigations concerning the structure and reproduction of the corn plant (Zea mays L.). Because of wide interest in the reproductive process in connection with breeding and genetic studies the floral development, fertilization, and embryology are especially stressed. The morphology and development of the vegetative organs is also included. The botanical relationship, origin, genetics and breeding of corn are briefly considered.
Corn Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach
Corn Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of the investigations reported in this bulletin has been primarily to determine some of the underlying principles involved in corn improvement. The work comprises a study of some of the physiological characteristics of the crop together with a comparison of various selection, breeding, and cultural practices in their relation to grain yield.
