Preliminary Investigation Of Nitrogen Rate Influence On Irrigated Bermudagrass Forage Production, Bronc Finch, Lance Blythe

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) forage production recommendations are often developed in natural environments with available water limitations, often resulting in highly variable responses and lower average responses. As farmland ownership changes and agriculture and irrigation technologies become more affordable the amount of irrigated hay production has increased. While much of the agronomic management does not differ between rain-fed and irrigated environments, nutrient use and uptake dynamics may. This requires a reevaluation and potential adjustment of current recommendations to allow for increased yield potential of irrigated production systems without detrimental impacts on the system. The objective of this study was to identify …

Genomic Prediction And Association Mapping Of Early Season Flood Tolerance In Soybean, Caio Canella Vieira, Chengjun Wu, Derrick Harrison, Rafael Marmo, Liliana Florez-Palacios, Andrea Acuna, Daniel Rogers, Samuel B. Fernandes, Igor Fernandes, Grover Shannon, Heng Ye, Henry T. Nguyen

Flooding has become a major threat to soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production as the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitations have been increasing due to climate change. While advances have been made in identifying soybean genetic resources and genomic regions associated with mid-season flood tolerance, there is limited understanding of early season flood tolerance at the vegetative growth stages V2/V4. This study aimed to identify genomic regions associated with early season flood tolerance using a diverse panel of 254 soybean accessions, as well as investigate the viability of implementing genomic prediction models for flood tolerance. Field trials were conducted …

Effect Of Crop Density On Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri) Emergence And Weed Density Interference Potential In A Furrow-Irrigated Rice System, Tanner Austin King, Jason K. Norsworthy, Thomas R. Butts, Sam Fernandes, Gerson L. Drescher

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

There is a high demand for cultural weed management strategies targeting Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) in furrow-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) production due to overreliance on herbicides and the lack of a continual flood to prevent weed emergence. Amaranthus palmeri has been shown to reduce corn (Zea mays L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yields when it interferes with the crop. However, minimal research has been conducted to assess the ability of this weed species to impact rice grain yield. The manipulation of rice seeding rate to enhance rice canopy formation and favor …

Genetic Variability In Biomass Partitioning And Surface Residue Carbon-Nitrogen Ratios In Soybean, Joscif G. Raigne, Race H. Higgins, Elvis F. Elli, Sotirios V. Archontoulis, Somak Dutta, Fernando C. Miguez, Asheesh K. Singh

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

The drive to increase seed yield in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] has traditionally overshadowed the exploration of biomass partitioning and the compositional characteristics of plant residue traits such as leaves, petioles, stems, and pods. The exploration of biomass partitioning and the compositional characteristics of plant residue traits in soybean provide insights into plant nutrient allocation strategies that can be utilized to increase crop productivity and improve management practices for maximizing yields and sustainability. Recognizing this gap, our study aimed to investigate the variability in these traits across 32 genetically diverse soybean genotypes cultivated over 2 years in central Iowa. …

Heterogeneous Yield Effects Of Cover Crop Adoption In U.S. Corn And Soybean Systems, Ethan Kendall

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Identifying the conditions where cover crops will succeed or fail is crucial for advancing conservation agriculture. Cover crops have been widely accepted as a conservation practice that can improve soil health and might improve or stabilize crop yields, though these benefits are not consistent across different regions. This study examines how heterogeneous factors can shape the effectiveness of cover crops on corn and soybean yields across the United States. Using the National Commodity Crop Productivity Index (Index) to measure soil productivity, this study examines how cover crop impacts vary across different levels of soil quality. A county level, 16- year …

Modeling U.S. Corn Production Archetypes In The Agricultural Policy/Environmental Extender Model To Generate Life Cycle Assessment Inventory Data, Brandon Taylor

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Corn (Zea mays) is an important crop grown across the US for many uses such as grain for animal feed, bio-ethanol production, food products, and industrial products. Corn is produced in almost every state in the US, but most corn production is concentrated in the Corn Belt Region including Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Although technologies and production practices are improving corn production efficiency primarily through increased yields (improved land use), corn production at this scale greatly impacts the environment through emissions from fertilizer and pesticide runoff and leaching, soil degradation due to improper field practices, as well …

Biochar Type And Rate Effects On Greenhouse Gas Emissions Fromfurrow-Irrigated Rice, Lauren Gwaltney, Kristofor R. Brye, Diego Della Lunga, Trenton L. Roberts, Samuel B. Fernandes, Mike B. Daniels

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Biochar is a relatively new, potential climate-mitigation strategy, but biochar still requires investigation regarding biochar's ability to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Little research has been conducted to quantify the impacts of biochar on GHG production from upland (i.e., furrow-irrigated) rice (Oryza sativa) production systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of wood biochar type (powder and coarse particle size) and application rate (0, 2.5, and 5 Mg ha-1) on GHG emissions in greenhouse-grown, simulated furrow-irrigated rice grown in a silt-loam soil. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes were measured weekly throughout …

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Palmer amaranth [Amaranthus palmeri (S.) Wats] has evolved resistance to nine sites of action (SOAs) globally, leaving producers searching for effective herbicide options. Bayer CropScience has announced intentions to launch a series of Convintro (TM) brand herbicides, one of which will be a premixture including diflufenican, metribuzin, and flufenacet for preemergence use in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr]. Diflufenican is a WSSA group 12 herbicide that would add a new SOA for soybean producers. With the anticipated launch of the premixture, research is needed to evaluate the potential for diflufenican carryover or tank contamination from a diflufenican premixture to injure …

A Vacuolar Proton Pump Controls The Post-Germinative Growth Of Rice (Oryza Sativa Ssp. Japonica), Peter James Icalia Gann, Soumen Nandy, Rodrigo Botelho, Kari Vinzant, Mariya Khodakovskaya, Vibha Srivastava

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Post-germinative growth in plants is controlled by sucrose mobilization from the endosperm. Regulation of this process, however, is not fully understood. Transcriptional suppression of the rice vacuolar H+ translocating pyrophosphatase (V-PPase) referred to as VPP5 led to enhanced starch content in mature grains. However, vpp5 suppressed lines displayed a slower post-germinative growth rescuable by sucrose, indicating inefficient sucrose mobilization from the endosperm. Biochemical and gene expression analyses showed a slower rate of starch to sucrose conversion and altered expression of the key starch utilization pathway genes. We hypothesized that the modulation of metabolic activities in the vpp5 lines was based …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of CC on the change over time in near-surface bulk density, aggregate stability, total infiltration and steady-state infiltration rate, and nematode populations in eastern Arkansas. Averaged across depth, bulk density did not change over time under a no cover crop (NCC) treatment, but increased approximately 0.03 g cm-3 over time under CC. …

Understanding The Impact Of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda) Feeding, And Drought Stress On Drought-Tolerant And Drought-Resistant Soybean (Glycine Max)., Adriana G. Peissel

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses

Drought and insect herbivory are two major stressors on high-value crops like soybean (Glycine max). However, few studies have explored how these stressors interact, despite their presence in tandem under field conditions. We investigated how drought stress and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) caterpillar herbivory impact Magellan (drought-tolerant) and Blackhawk (drought-susceptible) soybean cultivars. The soybean plants were subject to four treatment groups (1. Drought 2. Herbivory 3. Drought + Herbivory 4. Well-Watered) during a treatment period of 7 days in a greenhouse. We then measured plant height, physiological traits, trichome density, soil moisture, and larval mass gain. …
