Improving the Forage Species Selection Process through Research and Teaching Projects

Creator:: Randow, Brianna Lyn
Abstract:: Species selection is a complex process that forage producers and land managers face. Accurate tools and educational materials are needed to help make the decision process easier. Crop simulation models are one tool that could be utilized to predict yield and potential financial return of various species. Two crop simulation...

Breeding for Improved Forage Yield Potential and Digestibility in Tall Fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.)

Creator:: Sahin, Elif
Abstract:: Tall fescue is a perennial forage grass widely used in areas not well-suited to perennial ryegrass due to climatic or edaphic stressors including drought and low or high pH. Although tall fescue has many agronomic attributes that make it well suited to a wide range of environments, it is lower...

Evaluation of a Rhizobium meliloti transconjugant for increased nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation in alfalfa

Creator:: Mao, Meiyu
Abstract:: Agrobacterium rhizogenes has been shown to cause root proliferation and increased water use efficiency in certain woody dicots. Root proliferation may be desirable in herbaceous legumes as a means of increasing potential sites for infection by Rhizobium species and subsequent nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Thus, A. rhizogenes was used to...

Selection for Persistence in Red Clover through Improved Tolerance to Northern Anthracnose [NA; Kabatiella caulivora (Kirch.) Karak.] and Drought

Creator:: Sahin, Muhammet
Abstract:: Twenty-three red clover cultivars and accessions were grown in Boyd, KY, and Philomath, OR to evaluate their tolerance of northern anthracnose [NA; Kabatiella caulivora (Kirch.) Karak.] and drought, dry matter (DM) production, and their agro-morphological characteristics. The key research questions of this study were the influence of NA on yield...

Evaluation of Rhizobium strains with three Mediterranean forage legumes for biological nitrogen fixation

Creator:: Streeter, Donald J.
Abstract:: Centuries of continuous grain cropping in northern Africa have reduced N levels in soils to a degree such that agricultural production is now largely dependent upon nitrogen fertilizer. Through the identification of highly effective legume and Rhizobium strain combinations, the production of protein-rich livestock forage and green manure can be...

The role of plastic mulch as a water conservation practice for desert oasis communities of Northern China

Creator:: Ingman, Mark Christian
Abstract:: China's Minqin Oasis once welcomed traders along the ancient Silk Road with rivers, lakes, and lush forests, yet today the region's farmland and grassland are increasingly being engulfed by the sands of the Gobi Desert. The severity of this incremental catastrophe for a declining population of 300,000 residents has brought...

Evaluating the Effects of Alleyway Management on the Performance of Dry-Farmed Pinot noir Grown in Different Soils

Creator:: Lange, Mathew
Abstract:: Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are predominately planted to perennial grass cover in the alleyways of vineyards. This grass cover is grown to increase worker and equipment traction, as well as reduce erosion and manage vine vegetative vigor. However, with increasing frequencies of drought and warming temperatures, the use of...

Osmotic stress vigor test for wheat seed

Creator:: Currans, Sean
Abstract:: Seed vigor tests have been developed to evaluate the relative ability of seed lots to produce stands of seedlings in the field. Some workers have suggested the possibility of differentiating vigor levels by germinating seeds under osmotic stress, but have not conducted field trials to evaluate the usefulness of the...

An Exploration of the Ecological and Geographical Variability of Rhizopus microsporus Clinical and Environmental Isolates

Creator:: Stairs, Brandon S.
Abstract:: Rhizopus microsporus is a globally ubiquitous opportunistic human and plant pathogen that is known to harbor endosymbiotic bacteria. Differences between populations of clinical and environmental R. microsporus isolates have yet to be assessed on a global scale. Whole-genome sequence data were used to explore fungal biology and to assess potential...

Effects of Diversity and Spatial Separation of Pastures on Forage Production, Milk Yields, N Partitioning and Methane Emissions

Creator:: Carmona Flores, Lorena F.
Abstract:: Diverse pastures containing multiple species help extend the grazing season and reduce the reliance on one or two species to meet all the nutritional requirements of livestock. Planting pasture species in spatially separated adjacent strips can increase the proportion of pasture plants with certain agronomic and nutritional attributes such as...
