Corn (Zea Mays L.) Production In Living Mulch Systems, Grazing Potential, And Economic Viability, Marcia Peireira Quinby
Doctoral Dissertations
Living mulch (LM) is a practice in which forages are grown simultaneously with the main crop, serving as a living cover throughout the growing season. The LM systems were developed to alleviate concerns of soil depletion and finding ways to reduce tillage negative effects on soil productivity. In addition, when legumes are use can decrease the reliance on N fertilizer. The use of corn in LM have been previously studied due to the crop being a large commodity in the U.S.; In addition, the ability to graze the LM after corn production can increase the land use efficiency. To determine …
Physiological Evaluation And Root Morphological Differences Associated With Novel Drought Tolerant Corn (Zea Mays L.) Hybrids, Austin Gentry Scott
Physiological Evaluation And Root Morphological Differences Associated With Novel Drought Tolerant Corn (Zea Mays L.) Hybrids, Austin Gentry Scott
Masters Theses
Corn hybrids designated “drought tolerant” (DT) from three commercial seed companies were evaluated in order to determine the benefit of DT technology in a mid-south environment that may receive adequate but often poorly timed rainfall. Field research was conducted in 2014 and 2015 at Milan, TN where hybrid response to stress was evaluated at two planting dates and in non-irrigated and irrigated environments and greenhouse research was conducted in Jackson, TN to evaluate early season drought to plant physiology and root structure.
In 2014 and 2015, the non-irrigated trials received enough rainfall to create a high yielding environment. Since the …
