Reliability of Yield Mapping System for Estimating Perennial Ryegrass Seed Yield
Seed yield is an important factor to any farmer. Most farmers recognize that yield will vary within a field due to many factors, but they are unaware of the actual magnitude of the yield variability. Yield mapping is a ...
Lentils (Lens culinaris L.), a Rich Source of Folates
The potential for genetic biofortification of U.S.-grown lentils (Lens culinaris L.) with bioavailable folate has not
been widely studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the folate concentration of 10 ...
Wheat Zapper: a flexible online tool for colinearity studies in grass genomes
In the course of evolution, the genomes of grasses have maintained an observable degree of gene order conservation. The information available for already sequenced genomes can be used to predict the gene order of nonsequenced ...
Integrated joint pest management strategies in the presence of control spillovers
ntegrated pest management has proved cost-effective in coping with crop pests. This article identifies characteristics of pests, controls and economic incentives that may make the development of an integrated joint pest ...
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 ...
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 ...

Scale Effects of STATSGO and SSURGO on Flow and Water Quality Predictions
Soil information is one of the crucial inputs needed to assess the impacts of existing and alternative agricultural man- agement practices on water quality. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of spatial ...
AGRONOMIC AND QUALITY QTL MAPPING IN SPRING WHEAT
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour represents one of the primary sources of calories and proteins for the human diet.
The increase in the wheat yield without losing its baking and milling quality is an important breeding ...
Monitoring Restoration Impacts to Endemic Plant Communities in Soil Inclusions of Arid Environments
Slickspots are soil inclusions with unique loamy soils that provide habitats for many endemic plants worldwide, including those within sagebrush steppe. Sagebrush-dominated communities are declining and require restoration, ...
