Factors Affecting Insecticide-Induced Resurgence Of The Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata Lugens On Rice, S. Chelliah, E. A. Heinrichs Dec 1980

Factors Affecting Insecticide-Induced Resurgence Of The Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata Lugens On Rice, S. Chelliah, E. A. Heinrichs

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Resurgence of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) on rice was induced by applications of decamethrin, methyl parathion, and diazinon. Differential mortality of predators and hoppers did not appear to be the primary factor for resurgence. Hoppers appeared to be attracted to methyl parathion and decamethrin treated plants because of plant growth. Improved plant growth, however, did not compensate for the increased feeding of the insecticide-treated hopper population, and plants treated with resurgence-causing insecticides succumbed to feeding injury earlier than untreated plants. Population increases were due in part to stimulation of reproduction of the hopper, either by contact action of …

A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl Dec 1980

A Technique For Physiologically Age-Grading Female Stable Flies, Stomoxys Calcitrans (L.), P. J. Scholl

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

A method of dissection followed by staining was initiated to allow physiological age- grading based on ovarian development in order to more completely describe the physiological development of adult female stable flies [Stomoxys calcitrans (L. )]. The gonotrophic developmental continuum from a non-differentiated cell in teneral females to mature eggs at the time of oviposition was first arbitrarily divided into six stages by using distinct landmarks within the developing oocyte . Then, nulliparous, uniparous, and biparous+ females were differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of stained follicular relics in the ovariole sheaths. The combination of the …

Growth And Survival Of Nebraska Panhandle Wheat Farms Under Selected Financial Conditions, Larry J. Held, Glenn A. Helmers Nov 1980

Growth And Survival Of Nebraska Panhandle Wheat Farms Under Selected Financial Conditions, Larry J. Held, Glenn A. Helmers

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Simulation was used to analyze impact of land expansion alternatives, self-imposed borrowing limits, starting equity conditions, and land appreciation upon a firm concurrently seeking growth and survival over a projected 15-year period (1976-1990). An average-sized 960-acre (389 ha) Nebraska Panhandle wheat-fallow farm served as the representative firm. Standard production practices and technologies were used for computing costs. Machinery and operating costs were assumed to inflate five percent annually. Dryland wheat acreage was valued at $375 per acre ($926.63 per ha) in 1976 and was allowed to appreciate at an annual rate of four percent. A hypothetical series of three cyclical …

The Beef Delivery System: Optimal Plant Sizes, Locations And Product Flows, J. C. Hafer, J. G. Kendrick Sep 1980

The Beef Delivery System: Optimal Plant Sizes, Locations And Product Flows, J. C. Hafer, J. G. Kendrick

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The United States beef delivery system is composed of three stages: procurement, processing, and distribution. Minimization of costs associated with these stages can be accomplished best by identification of optimal plant sizes and locations. Research was directed toward an analytical approach that could be used to minimize total costs of the U.S. beef delivery system. This report will discuss the grid system used to divide the · United States into study units, describe features of the model used, discuss research results, and offer conclusions.

Muskrat Population Dynamics And Vegetation Utilization: A Management Plan, Thomas R. Mccabe, Michael L. Wolfe Aug 1980

Muskrat Population Dynamics And Vegetation Utilization: A Management Plan, Thomas R. Mccabe, Michael L. Wolfe

Aspen Bibliography

Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) populations are located in extensive marshes that are managed either privately or by state or federal refuge personnel. Maintenance of a balanced muskrat population is important to marsh management, therefore necessitating accurate density estimates. Feasibility of a vegetational utilization index as a reliable population indicator is being tested at Fish Springs NWR, Utah.

Implementation Of A Microprocessor Based Accounting System For Agricultural Uses, Herbert Allen, Duane Sander, James Beals Aug 1980

Implementation Of A Microprocessor Based Accounting System For Agricultural Uses, Herbert Allen, Duane Sander, James Beals

Economics Research Reports

This study has demonstrated the feasibility of using microcomputers on the farm or in the home to solve problems involving manipulation of large quantities of data or detailed mathematical procedures. A microcomputer with at least 32,000 words of memory and magnetic disk storage is recommended for efficient data processing. This capacity is required for programs of the type presented in this publication. A printer with at least an 80 character line is an essential feature. It is frequently necessary to have hard copy printouts of financial statements or cash flows in order to document the farm financial position. Programs may …

Alfalfa Insect Management Studies 1971-77, G. R. Manglitz, W. R. Kehr, D. L. Keith, J. M. Mueke, J. B. Campbell, R. L. Ogden, T. P. Miller

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Three tests in southwestern Nebraska during 1971 and 1972 evaluated insecticides against the army cutworm. Adult alfalfa weevils did not damage new second growth alfalfa in a small plot study during a 3-year period (1973-1975) at Gothenburg, NE. However, excellent control of larval alfalfa weevils was obtained. These results indicated a need to establish economic threshold levels for the alfalfa weevil in Nebraska to prevent unnecessary use of insecticides. Four tests to control the alfalfa weevil with registered insecticides verified the efficacy of these materials under Nebraska conditions. A series of tests conducted during 1975 at the Mead Field Laboratory …
