Towards autonomous irrigation : comparison of two moisture sensing technologies, irrigation distribution analysis, and wireless network performance at an ornamental container nursery

Creator:: Bailey, Daniel R.
Abstract:: As ornamental container nurseries face diminishing water allocations, many are looking to automated irrigation solutions to increase their water application efficiency. This thesis presents the findings of a study conducted at a commercial container nursery to determine 1) whether a capacitance or load cell sensor was better suited for monitoring...

Nutrient uptake by conifer seedlings as influenced by root CEC and competing species

Creator:: Schöne, Dieter Hans-Friedrich
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to establish a suitable method for the measurement of the root cation-exchange capacity of conifer seedlings, and to examine possible influences of this root characteristic on nutrient absorption from a Bellpine soil under greenhouse conditions. The exchange sites of fresh, excised roots were saturated...

Effects of boron applications on growth, yield, and boron content of snap beans

Creator:: Rosario, Theodore
Abstract:: An investigation of the effects of soil and foliar applications of boron and of time of foliar application of boron on growth, yield, and boron content of bush snap beans was made during the 1962 growing season. This study was conducted at two locations: Corvallis and Aurora, Oregon. Yield, dry...

The effect of vitamin B-6 supplementation on plant protein utilization in adults

Creator:: Ruhumba-Sindihebura, Pascaline
Abstract:: We investigated the effect of pyridoxine supplementation on the utilization of protein in a low-protein, plant-based diet in four subjects (2 men and 2 women), aged 21 to 38 years. Following two days of a negligible protein diet, this 34 day study was divided into three dietary periods: the subjects...

The relationships between zinc, iron, and phosphorus in sweet corn

Creator:: Hay, James Ronald
Abstract:: The relationships between zinc, iron, and phosphorus in sweet corn were investigated under field and greenhouse conditions. The soils used in this study (both acid and calcareous) were low in available zinc and phosphorus. The experiments received standard, uniform rates of nitrogen potassium, magnesium, and sulphur. Corn was used as...

Perennial ryegrass nonstructural carbohydrates in dairy cattle nutrition

Creator:: Buyserie, Annette C.
Abstract:: Ruminal microorganisms require nitrogen and energy for microbial crude protein (MCP) synthesis. High-quality grass provides an excess of readily available proteins relative to available carbohydrates which reduces the conversion efficiency of grass protein to MCP. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are the primary source of readily available energy. Objectives of trial 1...

Influence of supplement composition on utilization of low-quality, cool-season forages by beef cattle

Creator:: McGuire, Dustin L.
Abstract:: Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...
