Characterization of the mode of plant interactions with different environmental stress cues: drought and plant parasitic nematodes

Liu, Wenshan (2022-07-28) ETD File Embargoed

Plants are vulnerable to a variety of biotic and abiotic environmental stressors, which suppresses and limits the growth and yield potential of agricultural crops. Recently, drought has become one of most expensive abiotic ...

The effect of water stress on peanut soil microbiome and plant physiology

Rodriguez, Laura (2023-07-25)

Arachis hypogea is an economically important crop in the Southeastern region of the United States. The kernel has a high nutritional value containing oil, proteins, and carbohydrates. However, 90% of farmers in Alabama do ...

Effects of Drought Stress on Floral Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Agricultural Systems

Morgan, Gary Wayne Jr (2023-04-18)

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a crop of renewed interest in modern agriculture. However, for it to be considered hemp and not marijuana, it must have a total THC concentration of no greater than 0.3%. Drought is a common ...

Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) on Root-Knot Nematode Resistance in Cultivated Peanut

Kumral, Fulya Eda (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 ...

Impact of Climate Change on Storage Conditions for Major Agricultural Commodities across the Contiguous United States

Lesinger, Kyle (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 ...

Improving Drought Stress Tolerance of Peanut Using PGPR and Orange Peel Amendment

Bagwell, John (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 ...

Incorporating drought and marker associated traits into the DSSAT model

Zhen, Xiaoxing (2022-02-21)

Most agronomic traits are genetically complex and often show genotype × environment (G × E) interactions which complicate selection and slows down the breeding progress. As model parameters can represent certain genetic ...

Investigating Soybean Test Weights for Cultivar Development

Fett, Robert (2021-08-02)

Soybean test weight is a characteristic that has recently become of interest to both plant breeders and growers. The official weight of a bushel of soybean is 60 lbs bu-1 (75.7 kg hL-1). This standard is used to convert ...

Physiological Comparison of Three Southern Highbush Blueberry Cultivars Under High Tunnel and Open Field Conditions

Zimeri, Axel (2023-05-02) ETD File Embargoed

Recent studies have shown that high tunnel production of blueberries generates higher biomass accumulation due to the microclimates created compared to open field production. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological ...

Rapid peanut phenotyping and water quality monitoring using remote sensing and machine learning techniques

Bagherian, Kamand (2022-12-06)

As aerial and sensing technologies have been developed, so have their applications in plant phenotyping and water quality monitoring. This is especially true with respect to the mass manufacture of easily portable quadcopters ...

Reducing Topramezone Injury to Bermudagrass Utilizing Micronutrients

Boyd, Adam (2020-12-01)

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers.) is one of the most common turfgrass species planted throughout the United States on golf courses, home lawns, and sports fields. Bermudagrass is able to tolerate a wide variety of ...

Soybean growth response to inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria supplemented with orange peel amendment

Pacheco da Silva, Maria Leticia (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

Shu, Tianchu (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 ...
