Assessing changes and predictability of crop yields and failure risk in the United States: The Impact from Large-scale Climate Circulations
(2019-07-12)
The weather of the growing season influences crop production and yield. These changes in crop yields can result in economic loss and increases in global food insecurity drastically especially when high production areas are ...
Evaluating practical approaches for on-farm water testing to meet the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements
(2019-07-15)
The Produce Safety Rule, a part of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), requires produce farmers to monitor the quality of irrigation and wash water used on the farm for generic E. coli in an effort to prevent ...
Methiozolin Effects on Annual Bluegrass Control at Various Seasonal Timings and Creeping Bentgrass Injury in Shade
(2019-01-03)
Methiozolin is a new herbicide with efficacy against annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.; ABG) and is being investigated as a selective herbicide in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.; CBG) golf course greens, tees and ...
Topramezone for bermudagrass control and mitigation of seashore paspalum and creeping bentgrass injury with additive products
(2019-10-28)
Methods for managing bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) invasion of seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Sw.) are limited. In 2016 and 2017, a field study at Auburn University evaluated ‘Tifway’ bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon ...
Efficacy and Antagonism of Pinoxaden Alone and in Combination with Other Pesticides for Annual Grass Control
(2019-11-14)
Pinoxaden is an acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicide in the phenylpyrazoline chemical family. Recently, pinoxaden was labelled for turfgrass use with a limited number of labelled susceptible weeds. ...
Spatiotemporal Analysis of Ecosystem Degradation in a Gulf of Mexico Estuary System
(2019-05-14)
Coastal estuaries are a vital resource that provide many environmental and socioeconomic benefits. Despite their value, increased anthropogenic influence has resulted in ecosystem degradation due to eutrophication in coastal ...
Application of molecular and bioinformatics approaches for sensory and quality attributes improvement in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.)
(2019-12-10)
As more consumers are paying attention to food quality and nutrients, obtaining desirable flavor and quality attributes become an important breeding objective for peanut. In this study, 120 accessions from the US Mini-core ...
Soil- and Foliar-Applied Potassium in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Production
(2019-12-20)
Soil test recommendations for upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fertility are often based on varieties which are no longer in production, meriting questions on whether increased potassium (K) is needed for new varieties ...
Boron and Calcium Effects on Runner Peanut Production
(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 ...
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 ...
