Effect of weather variation on economic results from grasshopper control tactics in Chad : a partial validation of GHLSIM

Creator:: Sheikh, Allah Ditta
Abstract:: Agricultural production in the Sahelian region of Africa is among the lowest in the world. Cyclical infestations of locusts and grasshoppers have contributed to this low productivity. The infestations appear to be triggered by heavy rainfall at the beginning of a crop season after extended drought. Because locusts and grasshoppers...

Pollinator-Focused Solar: Observations of Plant-Pollinator Interactions in the Agrivoltaic Understory

Creator:: Graham, Maggie
Abstract:: Habitat for pollinating insects is declining, which is a concern for agricultural communities that rely on pollination services. Meanwhile, solar energy development is increasing as communities seek to source energy renewably. Land under solar panels is traditionally unused, so some communities are planting pollinator habitat under solar panel canopies to...

Effects of alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids on timed AI reproductive performance in replacement beef heifers, Effects of α-linolenic and linoleic acids on timed AI reproductive performance in replacement beef heifers

Creator:: Thompson, Emily C.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to determine if supplementing linoleic or α-linolenic acids, and timing of supplementation around AI will alter supplemental intake, ADG, and serum progesterone (P4), cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations in replacement Angus crossbred heifers. In yr 1, 54 heifers, stratified by age, were assigned to: barley...

Lasers in the Sky : Distributed Temperature Sensing and a Micro-Meteorological Approach to Quantifying Evapotranspiration

Creator:: Predosa, Robert
Abstract:: Lower atmospheric flux measurements are a difficult subset of atmospheric data to accurately collect. The interplay of cost, precision, specialty, resolution and repeatability compound an already difficult experimental problem. In response to this, a new, novel instrumentation approach to measuring within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is introduced. The combination...

Phenotyping diverse strawberry (Fragaria spp.) germplasm for aid in marker- assisted breeding, and marker-trait association for red stele (Phytophthora fragariae) resistance marker Rpf1

Creator:: Mathey, Megan M.
Abstract:: Strawberry is one of four crops included in the USDA-NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative-funded RosBREED project along with apple, peach, and cherry. Phenotyping strawberry for specific horticultural and commercial traits is important to identify associations with genotypic marker(s). This process is the first step in translating genomic knowledge into enhanced...

Determining ploidy level and nuclear DNA content in Rubus by flow cytometry

Creator:: Meng, Rengong
Abstract:: Nuclear DNA flow cytometry was used to differentiate ploidy level and determine nuclear DNA content in Rubus. Nuclei suspensions were prepared from leaf discs of young leaves following published protocols with modifications that included: increasing the stain concentration, adding the stain after the RN ase treatment instead of adding it...

Variation and heritability of vegetative, reproductive and fruit chemistrytraits in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.)

Creator:: Dossett, Michael
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been renewed interest in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.) breeding. This has been spurred by an increase in black raspberry consumption due to studies that have shown them to be particularly high in anthocyanin content indicating high levels of antioxidants. Present cultivars are ill adapted...

Lamb Growth and Seasonal Herbage Production from Simple, Diverse, and Legume Pastures Established in an Agrivoltaic System

Creator:: Andrew, Alyssa C.
Abstract:: Agrivoltaic systems promote dual use of land by combining solar energy and agricultural production. Grazing sheep in these systems is popular but research on intentionally designed pastures to increase production is lacking. This study seeks to compare the herbage growth and lamb production in simple, diverse, and legume pasture mixes...

Effects of conjugated linoleic acids on PGE₂, PGF₂α and progesterone production by bovine luteal cells in vitro

Creator:: May, Katherine C. P.
Abstract:: Feeding conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) improves reproductive performance in dairy cows; however, the molecular mechanisms by which CLA improves reproduction are not well understood. Therefore, we evaluated whether the CLA isomers, trans-10, cis-12 CLA and cis-9, trans-11 CLA altered synthesis of steroidogenic hormones in bovine luteal cells by measuring concentrations...

Growth and carcass merit of purebred Jersey steer calves finished on grain-based diets at two different energy levels

Creator:: Tschida, Garrett L.
Abstract:: Purebred Jersey steers are often overlooked for beef production due to the perceived poor growth and production. Currently dairy persons marketing their steer offspring are receiving minimal compensation due to lack of demand by beef feeders and a saturated veal market. Twenty purebred Jersey steers were used to evaluate lifetime...
