The Nitrification Of Ammonium Sulfate In Polyethylene Bags In The Field And Laboratory, Carlos Dean Smith

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There are many advantages and some disadvantages associated with the fall application of nitrogen fertilizers. The advantages of applying fertilizer at this time appear very convincing. It is easier to get onto the land in the fall. During the fall, farmers usually have more time to apply fertilizer than they do in the spring. In the fall the fertilizer companies offer better services. This is because the fall application of fertilizer lengthens out their season, thus making it possible for them to handle more fertilizer.

The main disadvantage is the fact that it is possible to lose the fall-applied nitrogen …

The Biochemical Differences Associated With Iron Chlorosis In Higher Plants, Daniel Ming-Yi Teng

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Chlorosis, which is associated with a reduction in the chlorophyll content of leaves, is a major problem in the growing of deciduous fruit trees and some field crops on calcareous soil. Under various soil conditions more than one factor may be involved in the development of chlorosis in plants. A deficiency of magnesium, manganese, zinc or iron, and virus infections can induce chlorosis. It is also induced by the presence of high concentrations of phosphate, bicarbonate, manganese, copper, zinc, or numerous other factors.

Biosynthesis Of Infectious Cucumber Mosaic Virus Ribonucleic Acid In A Cell-Free Medium, Men Hui Lee

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The mechanism of biosynthesis of the nucleic acids, RNA, remained obscure until 1955 when the announcement was made (14) that an enzyme isolated from bacterial sources catalyzes the synthesis of ribopolynucleotides from nucleoside-5'-diphosphates. It has been shown that the biosynthesis of polynucleotides occurs through the stepwise polymerization of nucleoside-5'-diphosphates or triphosphates. A great deal of research over the past few years has indicated that isolated nuclei from both animal (1) and plant (19) sources are able to synthesize ribonucleic acids in vitro (18).

Influence Of Sodium And Calcium Chlorides On Respiration Of Tissues From Several Plant Species, Hossein Lessani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The growth of plants on saline and alkaline soils has occupied the attention of agriculturists and scientists for many years. Saline soils are found in many parts of the world and present real problems to crop production.

The Effect Of Urea, Ammonium Sulfate, And Organic Materials On Nitrite Accumulation And Gaseous Loss Of Nitrogen In Acid Soil, Siddangouda V. Patil

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Nitrogen is one of the major elements essential for plant growth. It is the element most prone to depletion by cultivation and is usually found deficient in soils. In successful farming the problem of nitrogen supply is of special importance because plants need it in large amounts, it is fairly expensive to supply, and it is easily lost from the soil.

A Nutritional Survey Of Sweet Cherry Orchards In Utah, M. Dale Christensen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The sweet cherry crop has always been the number one fruit crop in Utah until the last three or four years when it shifted to second place due to severe spring frosts. However, the outlook for its continued success is still very good. Even though there are drawbacks such as virus infestations, spring frosts, nutritional disorders, cracking, doubling, and bird injury, new plantings are being made each year in each of the important fruit producing counties. Utah is also important in the national production of sweet cherries and is presently sixth in the nation.

A nutritional survey of sweet cheries …

A Study Of The Effects Of Mastitic Milk On The Quality And Yield Of Cheese, Clayton Shirl Huber

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Mastitis is found to some degree all over the world where cows are used for milk production. It could be classed as one of the most perplexing problems of milk production in the airy industry. The loss to the producer and the manufacturer is of considerable importance.

Today sub-clinical mastitis is probably the most common form. This type of infection is commonly so mild that it passes without recognition. It will be investigated in this study.

The influence of mastitis on milk composition has not been studied extensively. Very little research has been done on the influence of mastitic milk …

A Study Of The Manufacture Of Frozen Desserts From Dry Ingredients, Shihadeh H. Dajani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In many parts of the world where milk production is limited, there is an opportunity to process dairy foods from imported concentrated milk products. Dry ingredients can be shipped conveniently and some can be stored several months generally without deterioration. In these milk deficient areas, dried ingredients of good quality and with proper processing should increase the use and consumption of dairy products.

A large supply of high quality milk by-products which are fit for human consumption are available in the world today.

Many investigators and manufacturers have used dried milk by-products as a source of milk solids in frozen …

Influence Of Temperature And Rate Of Heat Penetration On Some Factors In Charcoal Broiled Porterhouse Steak And Ground Beef, Geraldine Irvine

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Charcoal broiling is becoming an increasingly popular method for cooking meat. Little scientific work has been done in this area. Information presently available on charcoal broiling consists of broad generalizations which have developed from trial and error testing. With the current interest in charcoal broiling, there is a need for more factual, scientific information as to the proper procedure.

Cooking method affects palatability and nutritive value of meat. Chemical and physical changes occur during the cooking process and the reactions which take place are not fully known or understood. Each cooking method has a specific effect upon meat due to …

Cost Of Raising Dairy Heifers In Northern Utah, Earnest M. Morrison, J'Wayne Mcarthur

Utah Resources Series

Dairymen have a continuing problem in maintaining herd size. Disease, injuries, and low production, make it necessary for them to cull animals from their herds. Replacements equal to a complete herd turnover are necessary every two to six years. Consequently, many are wondering as to the most profitable practice to supply the needed replacements in the herd. Three alternatives are available: Dairymen can produce herd replacements. They can purchase either heifers or cows. They can contract with growers specializing in raising heifers to provide replacements. Since all dairy enterprises differ to some degree, each dairyman should seek a specific solution …

Ecological Aspects Of Air Pollution From An Iron Sintering Plant At Wawa, Ontario, A.G. Gordon, E. Gorham

Aspen Bibliography

At Wawa, in northern Ontario, vegetation has been damaged severely by sulphur dioxide pollution from an iron-sintering plant. Damage is mainly restricted to a narrow strip northeast from the sinter plant, since southwest winds are strongly predominant. It is traceable from the air for at least 20 mile in this direction and is estimated as severe within 11 miles and very severe within 5 miles. Within about 10 miles NE, from the sinter plant ground flora variety declines markedly, from about 20-40 species per 40 square meter quadrat beyond this distance to 0-1 species within 2 miles of the pollution …

Developing A State Water Plan Utah's Water Resources--Problems And Needs--A Challenge, Utah Water Research Laboratory

Reports

Of all the natural resources with which Utah has been endowed none is more vital to the social and economic well-being of the people than it water resource. We cannot manufacture water. We have found no acceptable substitute. Not one more drop of water is available for our use today than was available to the pioneers. Yet water uses and water demands have multiplied over the years. Since we can do little to change nature's water allotment to Utah we must learn how to utilize our existing supplies more judiciously. This means devoting increasingly more attention to problems of water …

The Entomological Aspects Of Seed Chalcid Bruchophagus Roddi Gussakovsii Resistance In Alfalfas, Wayne A. Rowley

Biology

The alfalfa seed chalcid has been recognized as an important pest of alfalfa seed since 1891 (Urbahns, 1920). Heavy concentrations of seed chalcid in the alfalfa seed producing regions of the western United States pose a serious threat to the production of alfalfa seed. Experiments designed to study bionomics and plant resistance of this pest are part of a regional project at the Experiment Stations of many western universities. Several states and workers are testing a number of chemicals for possible use in controlling the alfalfa seed chalcid.

Biology And Control Of The Rose Stem Girdler, Agrilus Rubicola Communis Obenb., On Raspberry, Nuggehalli N. Raghuvir

Biology

The first red raspberries were cultivated in Europe 400 years ago. They were grown for the first time in the United States some time before 1800 (Gourley and Howlett, 1941). The cultivation of raspberries is limited largely to the northern part of the United States, chiefly in the cool, temperate areas. Areas from which extensive quantities of red raspberry are shipped are located in southern New Jersey, in the Hudson river valley, in western Michigan, in the Puyallup valley of Washington, and near Sebastopol, Washington.
