G95-1254 Weed Control In Alfalfa, Robert Wilson, Gail Wicks, Alex Martin
G95-1254 Weed Control In Alfalfa, Robert Wilson, Gail Wicks, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes how weeds can be controlled in alfalfa. Weeds can interfere with alfalfa from the time of seeding through the life of the crop. Increased weed density in new seedings of alfalfa can decrease alfalfa stand. Weeds can also substantially reduce yield and quality of established alfalfa. In severe situations alfalfa yield can be reduced over 50 percent from weed competition (Figure 1). As weed content increases, the percentage of alfalfa in forage declines. Normally the quality of forage declines as the percentage of weeds increases.

G95-1239 Managing To Prevent Equine Developmental Orthopedic Diseases, Kathleen P. Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes and discusses management techniques to prevent orthopedic disease in horses.
Equine Developmental Orthopedic Disease (DOD) is a significant problem facing today's horse breeders. A serious case of DOD can render a young horse essentially worthless due to crippling lameness. There is continuous debate as to the interplay of nutrition, management, genetics and exercise on the incidence of bone disease in young, growing horses. In the early stages, growing horses may appear unaffected by the disease, but may later develop lameness and eventually chronic arthritis. Recent research has identified many factors which will aid breeders to minimize the …
Ec95-815 Extending The Safe Drinking Water Act: Issues And Alternatives, Roy Frederick
Ec95-815 Extending The Safe Drinking Water Act: Issues And Alternatives, Roy Frederick
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Author's note: This publication was written in the months immediately prior to the beginning of the 104th Congress in January, 1995. While the basic issues have not changed, the schedule for reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act and the approach to issues may have been altered by the change in political-party leadership in the Congress. For example, contamination standards for drinking water may become a part of general "risk-assessment" legislation in 1995.
In 1974, Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), P.L. 93-523. Its purpose was to protect the nation's drinking water from harmful biological and chemical contaminants. …

Ec95-1560 Use Of Cultural Practices In Crop Insect Pest Management, Robert J. Wright
Ec95-1560 Use Of Cultural Practices In Crop Insect Pest Management, Robert J. Wright
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This Extension Circular reviews what is known about the effects of rotations, tillage practices, and planting and harvest dates on crop insect management, focusing on major crops in Nebraska.
Before the development of synthetic organic insecticides (pre-DDT era), rotations, tillage practices, planting and harvest dates, and other nonchemical cultural controls were commonly recommended for insect management. Research focused on crop rotation and other cultural practices for insect management. With the development of DDT and later insecticides however, research on nonchemical controls decreased markedly.
With the emergence of the concept of sustainable agriculture in the 1980s, there has been increased emphasis …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Author's note: This publication was written in the months immediately prior to the beginning of the 104th Congress in January 1995. While the basic issues ave not changed, the schedule for reauthorization of the Clean Water Act and the approach to issues may have been altered by the change in political-party leadership in the Congress. For example, wetlands policy and private property rights may be treated as separate pieces of legislation in 1995.

Nf95-219 Common Ground: State Conservation Reserve, William Miller
Nf95-219 Common Ground: State Conservation Reserve, William Miller
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has been a popular part of the federal farm program for the past several years because it contributes to farm income, soil conservation, and wildlife habitat. Landowners have found the annual payments for enrolling land in the CRP to be a financially attractive alternative to producing crops. Higher commodity prices due to fewer crop acres has been an additional benefit to landowners. Environmentalists have been pleased with the lower soil losses from the land and the improved stream environment associated with the CRP. Wildlife advocates are strong supporters of the CRP. For example, the Wildlife …
Nf95-218 Conjunctive Use Policy Options, William Miller
Nf95-218 Conjunctive Use Policy Options, William Miller
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Background
The hydrologic cycle controls water available for use. Rainfall, evaporation, runoff, percolation, and transpiration combine to influence the water available at a specific location at a particular point in time. The speed at which water moves among stages in the hydrologic cycle and the amount of time it spends in storage at any stage affects water availability to users. The conjunctive use issue refers to the portion of the hydrologic cycle where groundwater and surface water interface and influence each other.
Users who couldn't depend on an irregular flow of water over time developed systems that modify the variable …
