Effect Of Storage Temperatures On Triumph Seed Potatoes Used For The Early Crop In The South And In Central Nebraska, H. O. Werner
Effect Of Storage Temperatures On Triumph Seed Potatoes Used For The Early Crop In The South And In Central Nebraska, H. O. Werner
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
During the decade 1931-1940 it became increasingly apparent that some factor (or factors) besides disease was responsible for much of the variation in yields produced by lots of certified seed potatoes planted in commercial fields and comparative trial plots in the South during midwinter. This bulletin reports investigations into the method of storing western Nebraska seed potatoes as a means of improving the production of the early crop of Triumphs in the Gulf Coast States.
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.
Pink Rot Of Potatoes Caused By Phytophthora Erythroseptica Pethyb., R. W. Goss
Pink Rot Of Potatoes Caused By Phytophthora Erythroseptica Pethyb., R. W. Goss
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
During the summer of 1943 reports were received of rotted tubers occurring in fields of early potatoes in central Nebraska. An estimated 10 per cent of the tubers were found rotted in some fields on August 5. In November and December of the same year the late-producing area of western Nebraska reported the occurrence, at harvest and in storage, of tuber rots differing from those previously recorded for that area. Specimens appeared similar to those observed during the summer in central Nebraska. Isolations were made and pathogenicity tests were conducted both on tubers and growing plants to study the influence …
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 …
