G93-1146 Cover Crop Use In Crop Production Systems, Robert G. Wilson Jr., John A. Smith, Russell Moomaw
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes how cover crops can be integrated into various cropping systems. Agricultural producers are hearing more about cover crops, but many are unsure how such plants might be used in current crop production systems. Cover crops are legumes, cereals or an appropriate mixture. They are grown specifically to protect soil from erosion, protect emerging crops from blowing soil particles, improve soil structure, enhance soil fertility, reduce nutrient leaching, recycle nutrients and suppress weeds. A number of plant species could be used, but they must be successfully integrated into a diverse number of cropping systems used in Nebraska. Nebraska …

G93-1136 Potato Leafhopper Management In Alfalfa, Stephen D. Danielson, Keith J. Jarvi
G93-1136 Potato Leafhopper Management In Alfalfa, Stephen D. Danielson, Keith J. Jarvi
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide explains how to detect and manage potato leafhoppers to minimize alfalfa damage.
The potato leafhopper is capable of causing serious damage to alfalfa in Nebraska. This insect overwinters in the gulf states and migrates northward in the spring, usually in April or early May. During the summer months, several generations develop while feeding primarily on legumes such as alfalfa and clover. Although an occasional host, soybeans rarely suffer economic damage, particularly with the pubescent (i.e. hairy) soybean varieties that are commonly grown today. Infested potatoes also can sustain economic damage from this insect. Generally, the potato leafhopper is …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the two common spider mites found in Nebraska corn and soybeans, their natural enemies and management.
Two species of spider mites, the Banks grass mite and twospotted spider mite, commonly feed on Nebraska corn. Banks grass mites (BGM) feed almost exclusively on grasses, including corn and sorghum. Twospotted spider mites (TSM) not only feed on many species of grasses, but also on soybeans, fruit trees and a variety of vegetables and ornamental plants. Although these two species are somewhat similar in appearance, they differ in several biological characteristics and in their susceptibility to pesticides.
Banks grass mites …
G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
G93-1180 Horn Fly Control On Cattle, John B. Campbell
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide identifies ways to control horn flies on cattle.
The horn fly is a blood-feeder that feeds 20 to 30 times per day. A population of several thousand horn flies may be present on one animal. When large numbers of these flies are on cattle, the cattle bunch and expend considerable effort fighting the flies. They will often stand in water or seek shade trying to get relief from the flies. When they do this, they fail to graze normally.
Studies in the United States and Canada show that during the grazing season yearling cattle free from horn flies …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides information on common cockroaches found in Nebraska, and management strategies, including prevention, sanitation, trapping and use of insecticides.
At the height of its popularity many years ago, millions of Americans could hum or sing the song, "La Cucaracha".... The Cockroach. But singing is usually the farthest thing from one's mind when these hardy pests become invaders.
Cockroaches are the most important insect pests in Nebraska households and public places. These insects are oval, flat-bodied, dark colored, with chewing mouth parts, three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings. All roaches have three stages in their …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide will aid in the early identification and proper management of bovine ocular neoplasia, commonly known as cancer eye, including appropriate veterniary care. The common name for bovine ocular neoplasia, also known as ocular squamous cell tumors, is cancer eye. The term cancer eye is not entirely accurate and carries negative connotations. As we will explain in this NebGuide not all of these growths are cancerous. The scientific term for a cow is "bovine," the medical term for the eye is "ocular," and the medical term for these new and abnormal growths is "neoplasia." Thus, the term bovine ocular …

G93-1172 Starting Cattle, Dicky D. Griffin, Louis Perino, Don Hudson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide gives guidelines to help feedlot operators prepare and establish a plan for starting new cattle on feed that minimizes stress, reduces morbidity (sickness) and improves performance.
An animal's first few weeks in a feedlot can influence performance throughout the entire feeding period. The cattle are adapting to a new environment and may be exposed to disease, some for the first time. It is vitally important to prevent and deal with health problems at this time to prevent loss of performance.
Cattle entering the feedlot encounter a range of problems that arise from several sources, including health and nutritional …

G93-1169 Coalitions For Building Community Understanding, George L. Stevens
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide identifies eight steps for coalitions involved in building community understanding and applies them to the issue of school-age child care.
The process of building community understanding is an important one, regardless of the area of concern. As more and more citizens recognize a particular problem, that problem moves from the private to the public domain and requires the involvement of a larger segment of the community. Though this NebGuide deals specifically with the example of school-age child care, the process of involving the whole community is relevant to any area of policy-making.
How can citizens get started in …

G93-1186 Financing Public Education In Nebraska, A.L. (Roy) Frederick
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the costs and characteristics of Nebraska's public education system.
Providing public education traditionally has been one of the most important functions of government. During the 1990-91 school year, education expenditures by all levels of government in the United States approximated $330 billion, or about 18 percent of total public expenditures. In a narrower sense, state and local governments committed just over one-third of their budgets to education, and for local governments alone (primarily local school districts), about 43 percent of all spending went for education.

Holstein Steers vs Conventional Breeds Holstein steers usually are placed in the feedlot either as light-weight (250 to 350 pounds) calves or as feeders (600 to 800 pounds). The growth of Holstein feeder steers is generally more consistent than for conventional beef breeds.
G93-1170 Bacteria In Milk Sources And Control, Gerald R. Bodman, Duane N. Rice
G93-1170 Bacteria In Milk Sources And Control, Gerald R. Bodman, Duane N. Rice
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Bacterial contamination reduces the quality of milk and can cause serious health problems. This NebGuide discusses common causes of contamination as well as prevention.
Bacteria are single-cell organisms that multiply by dividing to form two cells (a process known as mitosis). Under optimum conditions, many bacteria can double in number each 20 minutes. That means one bacterium can result in up to 16,000,000 bacteria in just eight hours. They are microscopic in size, i.e., an individual bacterium cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. They are so small that a single drop of water from a cow's udder …
