Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell Mar 1965

Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The objectives of this study of grass seed production were to determine the response of an established stand of a warm-season grass to irrigation and fertilizer practices with regard to the specific practices needed to produce maximum quantity of adequate quality seed per acre. Side-oats grama was chosen for the study because of the availability of adapted varieties.


Appraisal For Combined Pea Aphid And Spotted Alfalfa Aphid Resistance In Alfalfa, W. L. Howe, W. R. Kehr, C. O. Calkins Feb 1965

Appraisal For Combined Pea Aphid And Spotted Alfalfa Aphid Resistance In Alfalfa, W. L. Howe, W. R. Kehr, C. O. Calkins

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Sources of combined resistance to spotted alfalfa and pea aphids were found in Ranger alfalfa and its parental strains, foreign plant introductions, clones and their progenies. Ranger alfalfa appeared to be a good source for selection of plants with resistance to both aphids.


Seed And Phenological Studies With Shattercane, O. C. Burnside Feb 1965

Seed And Phenological Studies With Shattercane, O. C. Burnside

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This research deals with the phenology and life history of shattercane, studies on seed dormancy and germination characteristics, and a description of the natural variability that occurs within this weedy species. Detailed information is needed on this weed before an intelligent approach can be made toward its control. These studies also may serve to familiarize people with shattercane and make them cognizant of its potential as a weed.


Cacodylic Acid As A Silvicide, Maurice W. Day Feb 1965

Cacodylic Acid As A Silvicide, Maurice W. Day

Aspen Bibliography

This report deals with the effectiveness of cacodylic acid (dimethylarsenic acid) as a silvicide for undesirable trees. Cacodylic acid has been used successfully as an herbicide for the destruction of grasses and weeds. Experimental work with this material was begun during the 1963 field season, and continued during 1964, to permit complete evaluation of the results. It appears that cacodylic acid has considerable potential as a silvicide.


Report On A Visit To Israel August-September 1964, D J. Carder Jan 1965

Report On A Visit To Israel August-September 1964, D J. Carder

Soil conservation survey collection

The main features in which farming methods and the environment in Israel differ from those in Western Australia, as they appeared to me, are:- the dominant sedimentary and limestone geology with its accompanying soil and moisture conditions population pressure which puts a premium on agricultural productivity and research the widespread use of sprinkler irrigation. These factors interact in various ways so that, although many problems are similar in the two countries (both have many pioneering problems remaining) the approaches to them vary considerably.
