Agroecosystem Effects on Carbon Sequestration and Soil Function in Tennessee Valley (Alabama) Paleudults

Croy, Andrew (2011-12-15)

Agronomic management affects soil organic matter (SOM) pools that impact chemical and physical properties, soil carbon (C) sequestration, soil quality, and ultimately, soil function. Pools of SOM and management-dependent ...

Alternative Control Options for Annual Bluegrass: Response to Zinc

Bristow, Caleb (2012-08-15)

Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is the most problematic winter weed that turfgrass managers face in the southeast U.S. Herbicides are often used to control annual bluegrass, however this weed quickly invades most turf ...

Boron and Calcium Effects on Runner Peanut Production

Van Cleave, Ashleigh (2019-04-16)

Calcium (Ca) and boron (B) deficiencies in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) reduce seed quality, yield, and crop value. Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain soils are inherently low in Ca and B, requiring supplementation to reach ...

Chemical composition and pollution potential of fish and shrimp feeds

Chatvijitkul, Sirirat (2015-12-04)

The objectives of this research were to assess the resources use for producing aquaculture feeds and to determine the waste loads of nutrients to the culture system (system loads), along with the solution to reduce nutrient ...

Effect of Land-applied Arsenicals on the Soils of Alabama

Bharati, Asish (2010-08-03)

Many agricultural practices apply arsenicals directly to land through agricultural practices. Over time, repeated land-application of arsenicals may result in accumulation of arsenic in the soil. This may be problematic ...

Evaluating Potential Agricultural Use of Industrial Byproducts

Yang, Rui (2017-04-25)

The large quantity of byproducts produced by the U.S. industry requires environmentally friendly and economical means of disposal. Integration of certain byproducts (e.g., papermill lime mud and calcium silicate slag) into ...

Fertilization of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) with Calcium: Influence of Source, Rate, and Leaching on Yield and Seed Quality

Florence, Robert (2011-07-29)

Soil surface horizons in the Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plains region are physically favorable to peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production but are often depleted of calcium. Peanuts lacking calcium may form undeveloped pods ...

Flooding Tolerance of Six Native Landscape Plants for Use in Southeastern Rain Gardens

Morash, Jennifer (2016-05-04)

Rain gardens are an effective, attractive, and sustainable stormwater management solution for residential areas and urban green spaces. Although design considerations such as size, susbstrate depth, substrate type, and ...

Long-term Effects of a Perennial Forage Grass in a Peanut-Cotton Rotation on Soil Properties

Prevatt, Ronald, III (2012-08-17)

Peanut (Arachis hypogeae) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) are traditionally rotated together in southern Georgia and Alabama, and in northern Florida. Maintaining crop yields and long-term economic sustainability with ...

Nitrogen release characteristics of commercial organic fertilizers in turfgrass

Green, Brandon (2011-07-18)

Although organic fertilizer sources are widely marketed for application to turfgrasses, there is limited research that examines their nitrogen (N) release characteristics. For this research project, ‘organic’ refers to ...

Survival and Growth of Black Willow (Salix nigra), Silky Willow (Salix sericea), Silky Dogwood (Cornus amomum), and Virginia Sweetspire (Itea virginica) Live Stakes

Hunolt, Alicia (2012-04-27)

Live stakes are a simple and inexpensive bioengineering solution to establishing riparian vegetation. Studies were conducted on the native species black willow (Salix nigra), silky willow (Salix sericea), silky dogwood ...
