Removal Of Phosphorus From Static Sewage Effluent By Waterhyacinth, W Harold Ornes

W. Harold Ornes

Waterhyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] was grown in static sewage effluent during May to July 1974 in outdoor concrete containers with a capacity of 760 liters and a surface area of 1.66 m². The plants were removed weekly from one-half of the surface area of the containers during 5-wk growth periods. Tissue phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), plant productivity, and some parameters of water quality were measured. A maximum uptake of 5,500 µg of P/g dry weight of plant material occurred when the level of orthophosphate phosphorus (available P) in the effluent was 1.1 µg/ml. Phosphorus in the effluent was …

Population Suppression Of Western Corn Rootworm By Adult Control With Ulv Malathion, K. P. Pruess, John F. Witkowski, Earle S. Raun

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

ULV malathion (9.7 oz AI/acre) was applied by air to a 16 square-mile area during August of 1968, 1969, and 1970. Adult Diabrotica virgifera LeConte populations were reduced the following season by 39, 54, and 72%. No economic infestations occurred in the treated area the year following any application. Postspray migration of beetles was very limited, but adult migration during the peak emergence period the following season contributed to repopulation of the treated area. Migration and fecundity appear to be density-dependent factors which favor increases under low populations. Area suppression does not appear economically feasible, but adult control in individual …

Results Of The Fourth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery, J. E. Stroike, V. A. Johnson, J. W. Schmidt, P. J. Mattern, K. D. Wilhelmi

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The Fourth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery was grown in 1972 at 44 sites in 27 countries. Data were reported from 40 sites. The 30 cultivars grown in the nursery included 15 new entries. Twenty-nine cultivars were winter wheats; one was a spring wheat. Data are reported on grain yield, test weight, plant maturity, plant height, lodging, shattering, winter survival, 1000 kernel weight, frost damage, plant diseases, grain protein and lysine content. Two-year mean data summaries also are reported. Supplemental nursery management information is reported for each nursery site.

"At Bjelland Vineyards Outlook Is Exciting" Article, The News-Review

Bjelland Winery Documents

This article focuses on Bjelland Vineyards and its prospects for future growth and development. Paul Bjelland is interviewed about the sales of Bjelland wines around the world, as well as some of the trials he faces as a vintner. In 1973 Bjelland Vineyards produced 2,100 gallons of wine, and Bjelland hoped to increase this to 3,000 gallons in 1974; in time, Bjelland would like to see production increase to 20,000 gallons annually. The article is accompanied by a photograph of Paul Bjelland "cooping" a wine barrel.

Tarnished And Alfalfa Plant Bugs In Alfalfa: Population Suppression With Ulv Malathion, K. P. Pruess

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

ULV malathion (9.7 oz AI/acre) was applied to a 16 mi² area in August 1968, 1969, and 1970 for western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera LeConte, adult control. Nontarget insects in alfalfa, also treated, were monitored. Tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), was reduced 89–98%. Survival of eggs and adult migration resulted in rapid reinfestation of the treated area in 1969 and 1970; adult migration alone was important in 1968. Alfalfa plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze), was reduced 96–98%. Repopulation following the 1969 and 1970 treatments was by development from eggs surviving the treatment. The 1969 treatment resulted …

Structural And Operational Characteristics Of Nebraska And Kansas Feeder-Cattle Growing Operations, J. L. Jorgensen, J. G. Kendrick, A. C. Wellman, J. H. Mccoy, J. W. Koudele, Q. C. Smith

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The beef cattle industry is experiencing a significant increase in demand for feeder cattle. Current difficulties in obtaining sufficient numbers of feeder cattle on a continuing basis have put pressures on the feeder cattle marketing system that did not exist in the past. Feedlot operators, growers (backgrounders), and cow-herd operators are looking for ways and means of improving the system. Innovations are being tested. Those circumstances prompted personnel of the Agricultural Experiment Stations of Kansas and Nebraska to undertake a joint study of cattle marketing under a Regional Research Project.
