Evaluation Of S-734 And Bas 9052 For Control Of Johnsongrass (Sorghum Halepense) In Soybeans (Glycine Max), Julio Beingolea Ochoa

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Johnsongrass is one of the more limiting factors in soybean production and is the most serious weed problem in the Southeastern United States. Actually, different herbicides are used in johnsongrass control, and still there are new herbicides which are being tested. Two experimental herbicides for johnsongrass control in soybeans are BAS 9052 and S-734.

The experiments were conducted in 1980 and 1981 with the objective to evaluate the effectiveness of S-734 alone and in combination with mefluidide and BAS 9052, BAS 9052 applied early or late postemergence, trifluralin, alachlor, and fluchloralin for seedling and rhizome johnsongrass control.

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Swine Production-Marketing Decisions, Larry Janssen, James B. Hassler

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This study reports on the development and progress of a forecasting-programming model for swine inventory management and marketing decisions. This model considers interrelationships between breeding herd, feeder pig and finishing hog activities. Objectives were: 1. To structure a dynamic operational decision model for a modern farrow-to-finish swine confinement unit which conforms with economic theory, uses price and cost forecast information and is as consistent as possible with current production scheduling practices. 2. To use and test this model during a combined production and marketing decision process and to compare economic results with results of a standard strategy.

Results Of The Third High Protein-High Lysine Wheat Observation Nursery Grown In 1977, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, K. D. Wilhelmi

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the third report of results from a high protein-high lysine (HP-HL) wheat observation nursery organized in 1974 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Science and Education Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. Advanced experimental lines distributed to breeders and cooperators in the 3rd HP-HL nursery were selected from numerous hybrid combinations of both spring and winter types. All exhibited elevated protein and/or lysine in nursery trials in Nebraska or Arizona.

Results Of The Tenth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1978, S. L. Kuhr, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, K. D. Wilhelmi, J. W. Schmidt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the tenth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Science and Education Administration (SEA), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under contract number AID/ta-C-1093 with the U.S. International Development Corporation, Agency for International Development. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes: (3) test the …

Tb102: A Markov Analysis Of Structural Change And Output Prediction In The New England Egg Industry, Steven P. Skinner

Technical Bulletins

The purpose of this study is to examine changes in the size distribution of egg farms as a Markov process in the three-state region consisting of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. In 1978 these three states together received cash receipts of 83 million dollars from egg sales. In addition to examining the size distribution of farms, the occurrence of a marked structural change in the egg industry during the period 1967 to 1978 is statistically tested. Also, the future size distribution of egg farms, total number of layers, and egg output are projected.
