Energy Conservation With Irrigation Water Management, Robert Hill
Energy Conservation With Irrigation Water Management, Robert Hill
All Current Publications
Irrigators in Utah experienced rapidly increasing energy costs from the mid 1970s to the late 1980s. These costs remain relatively high. Those who are pumping from deep wells are particularly interested in ways to cut back on energy use without doing away with profitability or production

Ec99-1563 Corn Rootworm Management, Robert J. Wright, Lance J. Meinke, Keith J. Jarvi
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp.) are one of the most economically important corn insects in Nebraska. The western corn rootworm, D. virgifera virgifera LeConte, and the northern corn rootworm, D. barberi Smith and Lawrence, are the most economically important rootworm species in Nebraska. A third species, the southern corn rootworm, D. undecimpunctata howardi Barber, causes little economic damage to corn and has not been shown to overwinter in Nebraska. This publication will focus on the biology and management of the western and northern corn rootworms.
G99-1384 Gray Leaf Spot Of Corn, James Stack
G99-1384 Gray Leaf Spot Of Corn, James Stack
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
All corn hybrids and inbreds are susceptible to gray leaf spot in varying degrees. This NebGuide discusses the symptoms, impacts and management of this disease.
Corn is grown throughout Nebraska on over 8 million acres of land; approximately 5 million acres are irrigated. The market is segmented into seed corn, field corn and specialty corns (e.g., high oil, high amylose and white corn). Field corn represents the largest portion of the acreage grown. To varying degrees, all corn hybrids and inbreds are susceptible to gray leaf spot disease.
Gray leaf spot is a significant disease worldwide. It has been present …
Nf99-397 Gray Leaf Spot Of Perennial Ryegrass In Nebraska, John E. Watkins
Nf99-397 Gray Leaf Spot Of Perennial Ryegrass In Nebraska, John E. Watkins
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Gray leaf spot, caused by the fungus Pyricularia grisea, was reported in the early 1970s to be a damaging disease of annual ryegrass grown for forage in the southeastern United States. Forage yield losses were so severe that the disease was named ryegrass blast.
This NebFact discusses the diagnosis, future occurrences, and management of gray leaf spot in Nebraska and surrounding states.
G99-1385 Common Stalk Rot Diseases Of Corn, James Stack
G99-1385 Common Stalk Rot Diseases Of Corn, James Stack
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Corn stalk rot diseases occur every year in every field to some extent. This NebGuide discusses the symptoms, impacts and management of these diseases.
Corn is grown throughout Nebraska on over 8 million acres of land; approximately 5 million acres are irrigated. Seed corn, field corn and specialty corns (e.g., high oil, high amylose and white corn) comprise the three main corn production systems. Field corn is grown on the most acreage. Whether grown in an irrigated or dryland production system, all corn hybrids are susceptible to a variety of stalk rot diseases. These diseases occur every year in every …
