Soybean seed yield response to planting date and seeding rate in the upper Midwest
Planting date and seeding rate are agronomic decisions that producers can use to maximize soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] seed yield and economic return. Current information on the response to planting date and seeding rate may underestimate the yield penalty for delayed planting in northern climates and overestimate the seeding rate required to optimize yield. The objective was to determine the ...

Wilderness Center Stream Mitigation- Case Study
ERC was hired by the Akron-Canton Airport to install a meandering stream adjacent to an existing stream. Once we excavated and shaped the new meandering stream the soil from the excavation was used to fill in the existing stream after we tied them together. We installed various in stream structures; rock vanes, step pools, log sills, log vanes, root wads and j-hooks. We seeded and used erosion ...

Effect of sowing year and seedbed type on yield and yield component in bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L) Verdc) in woodland savannahs of Cote d`Ivoire
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is one of the most promising food legumes in Africa, due to its agronomic and nutritional potential. To take advantage of these attributes, several research programs gathering agronomic and genetic data are being implemented throughout Africa. In this context, the responses of yield and yield components to year sowing and seedbed type were tested in three ...

Defoliation of panicled tick-clover, tweedy`s tick-clover, and tall bush-clover: i. Winter survival and yields of Nitrogen, herbage, and seed
Few native herbaceous perennial warm-season legumes are available for cultivation in the southern United States. Additional germplasm would be useful for pastures, biomass production, wildlife plantings, rangeland reseeding, or native prairie restoration. Three native perennial legumes were selected from an initial screening of north-central Texas germplasm for potential domestication based on ...

Seed Drying and Storage
SEED DRYING AND STORAGE The seed storage is usually in cold storage. The effectiveness of drying is the key to prolong storage life. Most seed-bearing plants will consider the room design with humidity control system which can make seeds tolerate the temperature; reduce the likelihood of germination, attacks by pathogens, insect infestation, discolouring and loss of freshness. 15 percent ...

Establishment and growth of self-seeded winter cereal cover crops in a soybean–corn rotation
Perpetuating cereal cover crops through self-seeding may increase adoption by reducing risk and cost. Winter rye (Secale cereale L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) were used to develop self-seeding cover crop systems in a soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]–corn (Zea mays L.) rotation. Cereals were planted and managed chemically and mechanically in varying ...

A strategy for sustainable livestock husbandry wastewater treatment in China
A strategy for sustainable treatment of the livestock husbandry wastewater is proposed, which is to recycle anaerobic treatment effluent as irrigation water. The existing treatment system was modified by deleting the treatment units after the anaerobic digestion. Chinese cabbage and Korean radish were selected as seeding plants in two sets of field irrigation experiments with various portions of ...

Yield, oil content, and composition of sunflower grown at multiple locations in Mississippi
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is not a common crop in Mississippi and southeastern United States. There is potential for sunflower (for production of cooking oil or biodiesel) to fit into traditional cropping systems of Mississippi and to improve economic sustainability of agriculture in the region. The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of N (0, 67, 134, and 202 kg ha–1), ...

Toxicity of biosolids‐derived triclosan and triclocarban to six crop species
Biosolids are an important source of nutrients and organic matter, which are necessary for the productive cultivation of crop plants. Biosolids have been found to contain the personal care products, triclosan and triclocarban, at high concentrations relative to other pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The current study investigates whether exposure of six plant species (radish, ...

Comparison of certified and farm-saved seed on yield and quality characteristics of Canola
Relatively high seed prices and low canola (Brassica napus L.) grain prices created a controversy over using farm-saved seed from hybrids. Agronomic implications of saving seed from a canola crop were investigated by planting certified seed and saved-seed of an open-pollinated and a hybrid canola cultivar at eight site-years in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. In one series of experiments ...

Seed Treaters - Case study
The Problem Having control over your operation is fundamental to running an efficient and profitable farm. This is true in all critical applications like planting, combining and marketing. And this is especially true when it comes to your seed treatment process – the growing season’s first opportunity to unlock maximum yield or suffer irreversible loss. We ...

Effect of seeding rate and planting arrangement on rye cover crop and weed growth
Weed growth in winter cover crops in warm climates may contribute to weed management costs in subsequent crops. A 2-yr experiment was conducted on an organic vegetable farm in Salinas, California, to determine the impact of seeding rate and planting arrangement on rye (Secale cereale L. ‘Merced’) cover crop growth and weed suppression. Each year, rye was planted in October at three rates (90, ...

Sinkhole & stream restoration - Case study
Removal of 800 CY of trash and debris from a sinkhole in the golf course and fixing the issue by installing a trash collection structure. Over 2200 LF of Stream Restoration. Placement of over 500 Boulders ranging from 46″ x 36″ to 24″ x 12″ Boulders. This project also included the installation of over 2000 SY of Turf Sod and over 4000 SY of Turf Grass seeding. Over 150 Plantings including ...

Distribution of arsenic and other minerals in rice plants affected by natural straighthead
Because of the inconsistency and unpredictability of naturally occurring straighthead, arsenical herbicides are sometimes used to induce straighthead-like symptoms to study this sterility disorder. In 2005, an outbreak of naturally occurring (nonchemically induced) straighthead in rice (Oryza sativa L.) study fields in Stuttgart, AR provided an opportunity to examine the role of minerals in this ...

Side-band injection of acidified cattle slurry as starter P-fertilization for maize seedlings
Abstract Accumulation of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils has caused increasing environmental concerns. Maize cropped for fodder implies return of animal manures rich in nutrients. In addition, starter fertilization with mineral P is used in cold conditions for maize cropping. It was hypothesized that the use of the additional mineral P could be excluded by increased availability of the P ...

Planting date and seed treatment effects on soybean in the northeastern United States
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production is limited in the northeastern United States so research on optimum planting date is scarce. Soybean production in this region may increase because of biodiesel demand so we initiated a 2-yr study in New York that compared soybean planting dates with and without seed-applied fungicide/insecticide treatments. Soybean planted in mid- compared with late ...
