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 …
Effect Of Grass On Intake Of Water, F. L. Duley, C. E. Domingo
Effect Of Grass On Intake Of Water, F. L. Duley, C. E. Domingo
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
A large proportion of the land area of the United States is in grass. With the increasing interest in soil and moisture conservation and flood control, the intake of water from rainfall continues to be an important question in connection with grassland management. As has been shown by numerous investigations, many factors affect the rate of intake of water by soils. Among these are the type of soil, character of the rainfall, and the condition of the surface. In this paper are presented the results of infiltration tests made on different types of grassland. The tests were carried out in …
Effect Of Position Within A Large Storage Bin Upon Midwinter Behavior Of Nebraska Triumph Seed Potatoes, H. O. Werner
Effect Of Position Within A Large Storage Bin Upon Midwinter Behavior Of Nebraska Triumph Seed Potatoes, H. O. Werner
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Much variation in time of emergence of plants has been observed within lots of Nebraska seed potatoes planted in the South during the winter. In large storage bins in western Nebraska the end of the dormancy period of tubers in various parts of the bin, as determined by the appearance of sprouts, may vary from January to May. It has been surmised that differences in temperatures and perhaps other conditions in various parts of the bin may account for such variations. In the winter of 1941-42 an experiment was conducted to determine the extent to which the position of potatoes …
Cellar And Cold Storage Of Sound And Mechanically Damaged Triumph Seed Potatoes, H. O. Werner
Cellar And Cold Storage Of Sound And Mechanically Damaged Triumph Seed Potatoes, H. O. Werner
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The object of these experiments was to determine with practically sound, whole potatoes the effect of cold storage during various portions of the storage period and continual cellar storage upon: (a) the weight losses during numerous intervals of storage period; (b) the condition of the potatoes at the end of the storage period in June; and (c) the relative seed value of the various lots of potatoes as determined by field experiments.
