Southeastern U.S. Upper Coastal Plain Ecological Sites for Dynamic Soil Property Characterization
(2021-01-07)
The Ecological Site (ES) concept groups soils that respond similarly to management to meet conservation goals, develop site interpretations and models for ecological transitions, and construct restoration pathways. The ...
Southern Devices: Geology, Industry, and Atomic Testing in Mississippi's Piney Woods
(2010-05-04)
This work centers on the two underground atomic tests conducted in south central Mississippi on September 22, 1964, and December 3, 1966. The region, known as the “Piney Woods,” hosted the two blasts, conducted by the ...
Southern Progress and Southern Honor: Slavery and Jim Crow at Auburn University
(2022-04-22)
Slavery built Auburn University physically, ideologically, and monetarily. After emancipation, slavery’s impact on Auburn does not vanish, instead it transforms into the violence of the Jim Crow South. Auburn played a key ...
Southern Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood) and Fungal Susceptibility of Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) Accessions
(2017-07-22)
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a spice crop native to southeast Asia, is undergoing evaluation as a niche crop for Alabama and other southeastern U.S. production areas. Thirteen accessions of Curcuma spp. (including eight ...
Southern-Pine Silvopasture Systems: Forage Characteristics, Soil Quality, and Landscape Utilization by Cattle
(2008-12-15)
Silvopasture is considered a more attractive land management option for diversified economic returns and environmental quality compared to open-pasture (pasture without trees) monocultures. However, little is known about ...
Soybean growth response to inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria supplemented with orange peel amendment
(2022-04-19)
In order to meet the projected global food demand from population by 2050, current crop production will need to double. In this context, researchers are studying sustainable strategies to improve nutrient absorption by the ...
Soybean Phenotypic Variation Under High Night Temperature Stress
(2021-04-19)
Soybean is the fourth most important commodity crop globally grown on over 83.1 million acres in the United States. Crop yield is required to increase a 50% to satisfy the demand of a growing population that will increase ...
Soybean Root Growth and Yield Response to Variable Rate Irrigation
(2018-04-18)
A changing climate and an increasing world population result in a greater need of food. Water secures and increases yield. However, water use and irrigation timing need to be optimized to limit negative effects on natural ...
The Space Allocation Problem for Temporary Displays in Supermarkets
(2024-06-12)
In this research, a novel approach to the shelf-space allocation problem of product categories to temporary displays in a supermarket is proposed. The main store aisles display similar products, which are categorized and ...
