(2023-11-27)
In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the adoption of conservation practices in agriculture, driven by a collective understanding of the urgent need to minimize risks, enhance profitability, and protect ...
Evaluation of Irrigation Scheduling Methods and Nitrogen Fertilization Effect on Corn Production in Alabama
(2016-08-24)
The unpredictable rainfall distribution patterns and high spatial variability in soil texture are promoting changes in irrigation and fertilization management. Irrigation systems are helping farmers to achieve consistent ...
EVALUATION OF NITROGEN SOURCES FOR ALABAMA COTTON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
(2022-05-16)
Cotton is the most-widely produced cash crop in Alabama, with an average of 415,000 acres per year planted during the 2011-2020 growing seasons. Nitrogen (N) is often the most limiting nutrient in cotton production systems ...
Evaluation of Photogrammetry at Different Scales
(2018-04-30)
Accelerated erosion is amplified by anthropogenic effects, which can lead to changes in stream geometry. Stream topography measurements over time quantify stream bank erosion. The goals of this project are to evaluate ...
Evaluation of Post Applied S-metolachlor in Combination with Glufosinate in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)
(2018-04-24)
Studies were conducted in Alabama in 2016 and 2017 to determine the effect of postemergence applications of glufosinate alone and glufosinate applied with S-metolachlor, using two different nozzle types, on LibertyLink®, ...
Evaluation of Selected Edamame Cultivars for Isoflavone Content, Organoleptic Characteristics, and Production in Central Alabama
(2016-12-09)
Edamame [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is vegetable soybean harvested and consumed at the R6 development stage. The growing popularity of edamame as a healthy snack food has led to increased interest in edamame production from ...
Evolution of target-based resistance mechanism to acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase herbicides in Digitaria ciliaris
(2021-07-16)
Digitaria ciliaris (Retz.) Koeler (southern crabgrass) is an annual grass weed of the southern United States, commonly infests all crops, non-crops, and even in turf. This grass is historically controlled in both crop and ...
Examining Solvita Soil Tests in Soils of the Southeast United States
(2022-04-18)
Nitrogen (N) an essential nutrient for healthy crop growth. Nitrogen fertilizer may be over applied because standard soil tests do not account for nitrogen mineralized by soil microorganisms throughout the growing season. ...
Expanded Understanding of Eleusine Diversity and Evolution
(2018-06-18)
Eleusine, including 9 to 12 species, is a small genus of annual and perennial grass species within the Eragrosteae tribe and Chloridoideae subfamily. There are very few genomic information about this genus. The primary ...
Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) on Root-Knot Nematode Resistance in Cultivated Peanut
(2019-07-16)
The peanut root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria, is one of the major soil-borne pests for peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). It causes economic losses in the production of peanut in the southeastern region, especially in ...
Genome-Wide Associations Identifying Marker-Trait-Associations for Root Morphology and Photosynthetic Related Traits in a Soybean (Glycine max) Diversity Panel
(2023-04-26)
Soybean is a staple crop for the food, feed, and fuel industries because of its unique oil and protein composition. It is the second most produced crop globally, with average acres planted and harvest yield increasing ...
Growing Degree-Days Optimize Trinexapac-ethyl Reapplications for Ultradwarf Bermudagrass Putting Greens
(2019-07-09)
Applying trinexapac-ethyl (TE) is a standard practice for growth suppression and quality improvement of ultradwarf bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] putting greens, but research is ...
Impact of Climate Change on Storage Conditions for Major Agricultural Commodities across the Contiguous United States
(2020-07-30)
Changes in postharvest storage conditions due to climate change can directly affect energy usage and food supply and quality. However, no study has assessed climate change impacts on postharvest storage conditions in ...
The Impact of Cover Crops on Soil Microbial Population and Soil Physical and Chemical Properties
(2022-05-02)
Conventional farming on Ultisols that are dominant in Southeast US has resulted in the loss of soil organic matter over time. Conservation tillage farming practices that incorporate different cover crops are shown to ...
Impacts of Winter Grazing on Soil Health in Southeastern Cropping Systems
(2020-11-16)
Coastal Plain soils are often characterized by low soil organic carbon as a result of historically intense row cropping practices, highly weathered soils, and the humid climate of the region which often breaks down organic ...
Improved Understanding of Mitotic-Inhibiting Herbicide Resistance in Poa annua and Eleusine indica
(2021-04-12)
Poa annua is a problematic weed that infests golf courses, sports fields, and home lawns. Mitotic-inhibiting herbicides are often used to control Poa annua in these affected areas. However, resistance to mitotic-inhibiting ...
Improving Drought Stress Tolerance of Peanut Using PGPR and Orange Peel Amendment
(2020-07-31)
Peanut provides approximately $4 billion to the US economy. Drought lowers that amount with disease and nutrition and yield loss. Due to a rising global population, less water will be available for agriculture. Inoculating ...
