Aerification Tine Effects on Tifway Bermudagrass Athletic Fields
(2009-04-15)
Although commonly practiced, there is little research examining the effect of aerification tine type (hollow or solid) and length on athletic fields. The objective of this research was to evaluate different aerification ...
Recurrent phenotypic selection for increased winter productivity in annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)
(2009-07-17)
In the Southeastern USA, dry matter distribution of cool season annual and perennial grasses is concentrated more in spring months with relatively less production in late autumn and early winter. Annual cool season grasses ...
Effect of Shade, Irrigation and Nutrients on Dry Matter Yield and Flavonoid Content of American Skullcap
(2009-04-16)
Growing interest in medicinal herbs results in a need to domesticate medicinal
plants traditionally harvested in the wild. American skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora),
native to moist habitats in eastern North America, ...
Cultivation Practices for Astragalus membranaceus in the Southeastern United States
(2009-04-15)
Astragalus membranaceus is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb and has been used for thousands of years. Information on its cultivation in Southeastern United States is lacking. In September 2006, three field experiments ...
Granular Forms of Sodium and Potassium Azide as a Nematicide for Established Turfgrasses
(2009-05-04)
There is a need for more user-friendly chemical tools for management of plant parasitic nematodes in both cool-and warm-season turfgrasses. SEP-100 is a stabilized liquid formulation of sodium azide and was extensively ...
Effects of Subsurface Drip Irrigation on Chemical Soil Properties and Cotton Yield
(2009-04-22)
Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) has proven to be an economical method of irrigation for agronomic row crops. It is suitable for small irregular shaped fields and has the highest water use efficiency of any other irrigation ...
Potassium Movement and Uptake as Affected by Potassium Source and Placement
(2009-02-23)
Although downward loss of anions such as nitrate has been well-studied in high-sand turfgrass putting greens, leaching of cations such as potassium (K) has received less study. Moreover, turfgrass research with K has largely ...
Herbicide Performance and Weed Seedbank Dynamics as Affected by High Residue Conservation Agriculture Systems
(2009-11-12)
With the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops in the late 1990’s, there has been widespread adoption of conservation agriculture systems throughout the southern portion of the United States, including Alabama. ...
Evaluation of Weed Management Practices in White Lupin (Lupinus albus L.)
(2009-12-15)
Worldwide, 450 lupin species can be found with 4 species currently grown. The cultivated species consist of three old world species white lupin (Lupinus albus L.), yellow lupin (L. luteus L.) and blue lupin (L. angustifolius ...
Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling under Conservation and Conventional Tillage in Peanut and Collard Agroecosystems
(2009-12-18)
Although there has been considerable adoption of conservation tillage by agronomic and vegetable producers in the US, information on nutrient release from organic residues is lacking. Information on release of nutrients ...
