The Influence Of Acreage And Yield Changes On Crop Production In Nebraska, Robert M. Finley Oct 1963

The Influence Of Acreage And Yield Changes On Crop Production In Nebraska, Robert M. Finley

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The general purpose of the study is to assess the impact of acreage and yield changes on total production of important Nebraska crops. A secondary purpose is to examine two different methods of imputing the influence of changes of yield and acreage on production changes.


Performance Of Alfalfas Under Five Management Systems, W. R. Kehr, E. C. Conard, M. A. Alexander, F. G. Owen Jul 1963

Performance Of Alfalfas Under Five Management Systems, W. R. Kehr, E. C. Conard, M. A. Alexander, F. G. Owen

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This bulletin reports stands, forage yields, and other agronomic data on alfalfas of diverse origin or type tested under five management systems at Lincoln, Nebraska. Narrow-crowned and broad-crowned types were tested. The management systems involved non-irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass tests (a) continuously grazed with steers, (b) cut for hay, and (c) rotationally grazed with sheep; an irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass test rotationally grazed with dairy cattle; and irrigated tests of alfalfas in pure stands cut for hay.


Studies Of The Mechanisms And Sources Of Spotted Alfalfa Aphid Resistance In Ranger Alfalfa, W. L. Howe, W. R. Kehr, M. E. Mcknight, G. R. Manglitz Mar 1963

Studies Of The Mechanisms And Sources Of Spotted Alfalfa Aphid Resistance In Ranger Alfalfa, W. L. Howe, W. R. Kehr, M. E. Mcknight, G. R. Manglitz

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Mechanisms and sources of spotted alfalfa aphid resistance in Ranger alfalfa and its five parental strains were investigated during 1957-1960.


The Economics Of Classifying Farmland Between Alternative Uses, Roger H. Willsie Mar 1963

The Economics Of Classifying Farmland Between Alternative Uses, Roger H. Willsie

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

At present some farm programs are aimed at reducing the acreage of land used for crop production. These programs have the objectives of reducing quantities of certain farm commodities and conserving land resources. By shifting land from the production of certain farm commodities to other commodities or to grass, total farm income may be raised and the costs of farm price support and storage programs reduced. In programs to shift land use a classification of land based on economic criteria would be useful. The primary concern of this study was with methods for identifying the economic margin between land uses; …


Relationship Of Self-Fertility, Pollen Abortion, And Micronuclei Number To Agronomic Performance In Alfalfa, P. P. Rotar, W. R. Kehr Feb 1963

Relationship Of Self-Fertility, Pollen Abortion, And Micronuclei Number To Agronomic Performance In Alfalfa, P. P. Rotar, W. R. Kehr

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The purpose of this investigation was to study self-fertility, pollen abortion, and meiosis in a randomly selected population of Ranger alfalfa clones and their polycross progenies, and to relate such information to agronomic data obtained on the same materials.
