Native forb response to sulfometuron methyl on medusahead-invaded rangeland in Eastern Oregon
invaded rangelands throughout the western USA. Medusahead is an aggressive competitor that crowds out native plants and reduces forage for wildlife and livestock. Sulfometuron methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide used to ...
Predicting Spatial Risk of Wolf-Cattle Encounters and Depredation
Spatial variability in terrain, vegetation, and other features affect cattle and wildlife distribution on mountainous grazing lands of the western United States. Yet we have a poor understanding of how this spatial variability ...
Assessing the impacts of livestock production on biodiversity in rangeland ecosystems
Biodiversity in rangelands is decreasing, due to intense utilization
for livestock production and conversion of rangeland into cropland;
yet the outlook of rangeland biodiversity has not been
considered in view of future ...
Variability in Prebiotic Carbohydrates in Different Market Classes of Chickpea, Common Bean, and Lentil Collected From the American Local Market
Pulse crops such as lentil, common bean, and chickpea are rich in protein, low digestible carbohydrates, and range of micronutrients. The detailed information of low digestible carbohydrates also known as “prebiotic ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at > −10 °C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
Design and Analysis of Delay-Tolerant Sensor Networks for Monitoring and Tracking Free-Roaming Animals
This paper is concerned with the design and analysis of delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) deployed for free-roaming animal monitoring, wherein information is either transmitted or carried to static access-points by the animals ...
Genes Expressed Differentially in Hessian Fly Larvae Feeding in Resistant and Susceptible Plants
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor, is a destructive pest of wheat worldwide and mainly controlled by deploying resistant cultivars. In this study, we investigated the genes that were expressed differentially between ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at >−10 C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
Effects of grazing two green manure crop types in organic farmingsystems: N supply and productivity of following grain crops
Grazing green manures may improve N availability and productivity in integrated crop–livestock systems. We hypothesized that grazing green manures, compared with standard soil incorporation with tillage, would increase ...
Inheritance of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Four Populations of Barley
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [(teleomorph Giberella Zeae (Schwein.)], has been a major disease problem of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the U.S. Midwest since 1993. It can make a ...
