Effect Of Fertilization And Management On The Production Of Bromegrass In Northeast Nebraska, G. W. Rehm, W. J. Moline, E. J. Schwartz, R. S. Moomaw Dec 1971

Effect Of Fertilization And Management On The Production Of Bromegrass In Northeast Nebraska, G. W. Rehm, W. J. Moline, E. J. Schwartz, R. S. Moomaw

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Several experiments were conducted in northeast Nebraska to determine the effect of fertility and management practices on the production of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss). The effectiveness of the various fertilizer treatments was measured in units of dry matter produced per acre as well as beef produced per acre. Results of these studies showed that the production of bromegrass pastures in Nebraska could be markedly improved through proper fertilization.

Results Of The First International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery, J. E. Stroike, V. A. Johnson, J. W. Schmidt, P. J. Mattern

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery was organized by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. There has been informal cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations, and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Mexico, D. F. Specific objectives of the nursery are to: (1) Test the adaptation of winter wheat varieties under a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management and disease complexes (2) Identify superior winter varieties to serve as recipient genotypes for …


Place Discrimination In Rail Shipments Of Wheat From Great Plains Origins, Dale G. Anderson, Brian L. Mariska Jun 1971

Place Discrimination In Rail Shipments Of Wheat From Great Plains Origins, Dale G. Anderson, Brian L. Mariska

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The purpose of this study was to determine whether shipments of wheat by railroad from Nebraska and other Great Plains States are discriminated against relative to shipments from other wheat producing states and regions. Primary objectives were: (1) To develop a technique for measuring place discrimination (2) To employ the technique in testing empirical data for evidence of discrimination (3) To analyze the results and explore implications for geographically-separated wheat shippers.


Performance Evaluation Of Some Warm-Season Prairie Grasses In Nebraska Environments, D. D. Warnes, L. C. Newell, W. J. Moline May 1971

Performance Evaluation Of Some Warm-Season Prairie Grasses In Nebraska Environments, D. D. Warnes, L. C. Newell, W. J. Moline

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Objectives of these experiments were to study and compare establishment of stands, fertility responses, and forage yields of certain warm-season grass varieties and experimental strains in Nebraska locations which differed in soil and climatic conditions.
