Preplant herbicides don`t increase forage production of cereal rye interseeded into bermudagrass
Interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) into a bermudagrass sod [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] can increase season-long forage production and land use efficiency. However, previous research has shown that competition from the bermudagrass sod can significantly reduce autumn forage production from cereal rye. Our objective was to determine if the application of a preplant herbicide to a ...

Control of cereal rye with a roller/crimper as influenced by cover crop phenology
Adoption of reduced tillage practices have been driven by the need to enhance soil quality, minimize field labor time, and scale up farm size. However, concerns about increased reliance on herbicides and demand for organically grown foods call for adoption of production practices that can reduce both tillage and herbicide use. This research study assessed the influence of planting and termination ...

Root-lesion Nematodes reduce yield of intolerant wheat and barley
Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus neglectus and P. thornei) are widely distributed and substantially reduce grain yields in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-producing regions of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The objective of this research was to determine if wheat and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars differ in tolerance to these nematode species. Field experiments were conducted by comparing ...

Rapid microwave processing of winter cereals for histology allows identification of separate zones of freezing injury in the crown
In histological studies, microwave processing of tissue considerably shortens the time required to prepare samples for observation under light and electron microscopy. However, plant tissues from different species and different regions of the plant respond differently to microwave processing, making it impossible to use a single protocol for all plant tissue. The crown of winter cereals such as ...

FOTM: How MILAS supports the milling industry with quality based pricing
For the milling, malting and bakery industries, ingredient quality control has always been one of the most important challenges. Now more than ever, consumers are becoming more aware of healthy eating habits and their nutritional benefits, which is why quality control should take the front seat within the productional workflow. As an industry specialist, Adifo has packed a ton of powerful ...

Corn belt assessment of cover crop management and preferences
Surveying end-users about their use of technologies and preferences provides information for researchers and educators to develop relevant research and educational programs. A mail survey was sent to Corn Belt farmers during 2006 to quantify cover crop management and preferences. Results indicated that the dominant cereal cover crops in Indiana and Illinois are winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...

Residues of organophosphorus pesticides in different food commodities in Slovenia, 1997?1998
During the period 1997?1998, a total of 1237 samples of different food commodities were analysed for residues of organophosphorus pesticides in Slovenia. The domestic and imported commodities tested included fruits, vegetables, cereals, alcoholic drinks and food of animal origin such as liver, fish, eggs, milk and honey. Residues of organophosphates were detected in 8.2% of samples (101 samples). ...

On combining vision-based hybrid classifiers for weeds detection in precision agriculture
One objective in precision agriculture is to minimise the volume of herbicides that are applied to the fields through the use of site-specific weed management systems. This paper outlines an automatic computer vision system for the detection and differential spraying of Avena sterilis, a noxious weed growing in cereal crops. With such purpose we have designed a multiple hybrid decision making ...

Can pulse crops play a role in mitigating greenhouse gases from North American agriculture?
The atmospheric buildup of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is a serious environmental issue. Globally, agricultural activities are an important source of anthropogenic GHGs, contributing 20% of the annual atmospheric increase. Management choices largely determine if agricultural soils will be a source, a sink, or will be neutral with respect to GHG net flux. The proportion of agricultural land that is ...

Cold Turkey? Dealing with agricultural trade liberalisation
Turkey has a particular interest in the WTO agricultural negotiations in view of its significant agricultural sector. This paper undertakes a quantitative analysis of trade liberalisation and its impact on Turkish agriculture. We use UNCTAD's Agricultural Trade Policy Simulation Model (ATPSM). A likely scenario suggests that Turkey may face higher import bills as world prices for cereals are ...

Anthracnose disease and annual bluegrass putting green performance affected by mowing practices and lightweight rolling
Anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale Manns sensu lato Crouch, Clarke & Hillman) has been a devastating disease on annual bluegrass (ABG) [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn.) T. Koyama] putting green turf over the past 15 yr. The objectives of this 2-yr field trial on ABG were to evaluate the impact of mowing height (2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 mm), mowing frequency (seven and 14 times wk–1), lightweight ...

Wheat: Preparing the Root System for Tillering and Vegetative Growth
The number of tillers is the primary yield component of straw cereals, including wheat, the world’s most widely grown cereal. The number of tillers is fundamental to crop yield development. It will compensate for the loss of plants during sowing due to poor planting. It is directly related to the final number of ears. Three leaves constitute a tiller, and this tiller can be transformed ...

Physicochemical properties of acha (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua spp) grains
Some physicochemical properties of two varieties of acha (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) were studied. Physical properties including kernel size, 1000-kernel weight, and water absorption rate of the grains were determined. Water absorption reached a maximum after steeping for 25 hours. The starch content exhibited a two-stage pattern of swelling and solubility properties similar to other ...
