Application Of Stanford Watershed Model Concepts To Predict Flood Peaks For Small Drainage Areas, K. D. Clarke

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This report embodies two principal objectives: 1) updating rainfall intensity-duration curves for the hydraulic design of culverts and 2) adaptation of the Stanford Watershed Model concept to small drainage basins in Kentucky. The first objective is familiar -- the curves presently being used for the rational method of design were established from an earlier Department study made by E. M. West and W. H. Sammons, issued in July, 1955 (Report No. 2, "A Study of Runoff from Small Drainage Areas and the Openings in Attendant Drainage Structures"), and were based on rainfall records then available through 1951. The second objective …

Breeding Tobacco Varieties, Paul D. Legg

Agronomy Notes

The principal objectives in breeding tobacco are yield, field and handling characteristics, disease resistance, and quality. Of these objectives, major emphasis has been placed on breeding disease-resistant varieties. Resistant varieties have provided one of the most effective means of combating many of the pathogens that attack the tobacco plant. However, the transfer of genes for disease resistance into susceptible varieties has been accompanied in many cases by other characteristics which are undesirable. It is often a difficult task to combine acceptable type, yield, and quality with desired factors for disease resistance into a single variety.

Strongly Acid Soil Must Be Limed For Corn, Harold Miller

Agronomy Notes

The necessity of liming strongly acid soils that will be planted in corn is well illustrated in a demonstration conducted by Harold Vaught, Area Extension Agent in Adair County.

A field that was well fertilized with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium produced low corn yields in 1966. Analysis of a soil sample from the field showed that it was strongly acid soil. (Similar conditions have been reported by many farmers throughout the state in recent years.) Since this field was to be planted in corn again in 1967, a liming demonstration was planned .

A Study Of The Removal Of Pesticides From Water, James David Whitehouse

KWRRI Research Reports

The purpose of this study was to investigate some of the properties of pesticides as they exist in water, and to determine the effectiveness of several water treatment processes in the removal of pesticides from water. Among the pesticides investigated were malathion, DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, captan, benzene hexachloride (BHC), 2,4-D, and 2,4,5-T. The water treatment processes included aeration, chemical coagulation, adsorption on activated carbons and clays, and foam separation.

The removal of pesticides from water by aeration was found to be significant. Dieldrin was removed almost 100 percent, while aldrin, DDT, and BHC were removed to a lesser extent. 2, …

Fertilizing No-Tillage Corn And Soybeans, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Planting corn and soybeans in sod (commonly referred to as "no-tillage" planting) is increasing in parts of Kentucky, and interest in this practice in other parts of the state is growing.

One question is often asked: 'What is the best method of liming and fertilizing no-tillage corn and soybeans?"

Since no-tillage planting is a comparatively new practice, only a limited amount of research on methods of fertilization has been done. However, research designed to find out how well plants can recover phosphorus and potassium applied on the surface of the soil will be started by the Department of Agronomy at …

Use Of Wild Species In Developing Varieties, Glenn B. Collins

Agronomy Notes

The familiar plant known as tobacco has the more technical name of Nicotiana tabacum L. It belongs to a family of plants called the Solanaceae or Nightshade family. This family includes many familiar species besides tobacco: tomato, potato, bitter sweet, horse-nettle, ground-cherry, jimsonweed, henbane, and petunia, to mention only a few. In addition to these more distant relatives of tobacco, there are approximately 65 Nicotiana species. Morphologically, the Nicotiana species are very diverse, ranging from those resembling tobacco to the extreme types that look more like cabbage. The species are widespread geographically, with a particularly large concentration in South and …

Marketing Burley Tobacco, Ira E. Massie

Agronomy Notes

When your tobacco has been stripped, sort it (on the farm) into its respective groups. Sort in daylight or under fluorescent lighting, never by yellow (muzda) electric or lantern light.

After the sticks of tobacco have been carefully sorted and checked, they should be packed on the truck in the following order: first, the sticks of the lowest quality, then the flyings, then the next quality, etc. Next load the high quality lugs. The leaf is then loaded, beginning with that of the highest quality and then in the order of quality to the lowest.

Using Birdsfoot Trefoil In Kentucky Pastures, W. C. Templeton Jr., C. F. Buck, D. W. Wattenbarger

Agronomy Notes

Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is an excellent pasture legume in the Corn Belt and in northeast United states . It has usually been considered too poorly adapted to Kentucky to merit trial by the farmers. Observations and grazing results in Woodford county during the last 14 years, however, indicate that this view is no longer valid.

A grazing trial was established in 1954, with birdsfoot trefoil and Kentucky bluegrass as one of three mixtures used. Trefoil was seeded alone in the spring, and an excellent stand was obtained. Bluegrass was drilled in the established trefoil in September 1954. There …

Certified Seed Of Kenblue Kentucky Bluegrass Seed Available, Department Of Agronomy, College Of Agriculture, University Of Kentucky

Agronomy Notes

A limited quantity of certified seed of Kenblue, a new variety of Kentucky bluegrass, will be available this fall. Kenblue was developed last year and officially released July 31, 1967 by the University of Kentucky and the USDA-ARS.

Kenblue is more insect- and disease-resistant than any of the other named varieties of bluegrass . Its adaptability to Kentucky conditions is also much higher, because Kenblue was developed from seed taken from 12 farms in seven Central Kentucky counties where bluegrass is normally grown for seed purposes . In each case, fields from which the seed was taken had been in …

Barsoy-A New Winter Barley, V. C. Finkner, S. H. Phillips

Agronomy Notes

The early maturity of Barsoy winter barley will fill a gap in the maturity dates of the barley varieties presently recommended. Double cropping of small grain and wheat has grown to the extent that 30,000 to 40,000 acres in Kentucky grow two crops each year. This practice will continue to develop and become more important on grain farms. The early maturity characteristic of Barsoy will allow an earlier planting of soybeans than will other barley varieties.

Apply Fertilizer And Limestone This Fall, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

As farmers push towards more economical crop production, fertilizer and limestone use will increase. If Kentucky farmers continue to help feed the world, the rate of increase will accelerate during the next decade .

Establishment And Maintenance Of Roadside Plantings And Turf, K. C. Arnold, J. T. Griffin

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The suitability and choice of different plant materials for roadside planting will be governed primarily by cost of establishment and maintenance, by the effectiveness in stabilizing the soil, and by safety and beauty achieved. It must be recognized that conditions often encountered in roadside planting situations are different from normal conditions found in fields and yards. Soils often consist of unclassified material and are not agricultural soils in the usual sense. The material usually contains very little if any humus and little plant food and often is highly susceptible to erosion. Under these extreme conditions the establishment and maintenance of …

What's Wrong With The Red Clover This Year?, Warren C. Thompson, Norman L. Taylor

Agronomy Notes

Red clover looks sick in a lot of fields this year. "Why?" is one of the most often asked questions here in the department.

First, we must not overlook the effect of the early growth followed by the hard freezes in March. This unusual condition started a chain reaction that made the insects and diseases more important in reducing stands. The early start, followed by the freeze, caused unseasonable maturity or false dormancy. Thus, many stands stopped growing at 6" to 10" heighths. Many stands were thinned and some killed by this freeze.

Where the first harvest has already been …

Make Good Hay From Perennial Grasses, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Good quality hay can be made from the perennial grasses if they are fertilized properly and mowed while in the boat stage.

The alfalfa weevil has reduced yields of alfalfa in Kentucky to the point where some farmers will be short of hay , Many of these fields have a good stand of grass . Some of the hay shortage can be eased by applying nitrogen fertilizers on these fields.

Flow Behavior Of Asphalt Cements, W. A. Mossbarger Jr., John A. Deacon

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The Kentucky Department of Highways in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads is conducting a continuing investigation of the fundamental mechanical properties of flexible pavement materials. The ultimate objective of this investigation is to gain sufficient knowledge of the fundamental mechanical behavior of these materials to support the establishment of a responsive flexible pavement design procedure.

A preliminary report, issued in 1964, contained the results of the preparatory phase of this investigation. This report summarized from a theoretical point of view efforts that had been made to quantify the mechanical response of viscoelastic materials to known conditions of loading. …
