Pokhrel, Pramod (2020-06-03)Energy canes (Saccharum spp. hybrid) and energy sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) have the potential to adapt in broader agroclimatic conditions and produce higher biomass yield. The first study was conducted to evaluate ...
-
Modala, Naga Raghuveer (2014-12-11)The Texas Plains, which include the Texas High Plains and Rolling Plains, is one of the largest cotton growing areas in the world. Cotton cultivation in this region is facing severe challenges from rapidly declining ...
-
Chen, Yong (2016-12-01)The semi-arid Texas High Plains (THP) is one of the intensively managed agricultural regions in the United States (US) where cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a major crop. The THP region produces about a quarter of the ...
-
Sharma, Sumit (2017-05-05)The Southern Great Plains has potential to produce bioenergy crops on a large scale. However, the potential environmental impact of large scale production of bioenergy crops on carbon, evapotranspiration (ET) and energy ...
-
Samuelson, Spencer Lee (2020-08-21)Cover cropping has witnessed limited adoption in South Texas, despite long growing seasons and continued accumulation of heat units after cash crop harvest. Major limitations for cover crop adoption include a general lack ...
-
Moreno, Jonathan Adam (2019-04-03)Demand for organic products, including poultry and livestock, have increased over the past decade. With this increase in demand, an increased need for organic grain supply has developed. However, there is limited information ...
-
Govindasamy, Prabhu (2018-08-06)Changes to tillage practices can influence soil physico-chemical properties and weed population dynamics. Experiments were conducted in 2016 and 2017 in a 36-year long tillage experiment at Texas A&M University, College ...
-
Maeda, Murilo M. (2015-09-04)Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crops usually experience some type of environmental stress during the season. Soil moisture deficits along with high temperatures pose the biggest constraints for crop productivity. Although ...
-
Camargo Silva, Gustavo (2023-04-10)The most used winter cover crop species in the United Stated is cereal rye (Secale cereale L.), which is well known for its soil and water conservation benefits. Cereal rye has been in the spotlight of integrated weed ...
-
Simoneaux, Bryan Edwin (2020-12-03)Many research institutions conduct annual forage trials to determine which species and varieties of those species produce the most biomass in specific geographical areas. These trials can be costly, time consuming and ...
-
MacMillan, Jennifer (2020-11-22)Legumes grown as cash and cover crops are a valuable component of cropping systems. Legumes can fix N through a symbiotic relationship with root-associated bacteria, called Rhizobia, through a process called biological ...
-
Barth, McKenzie Jo (2022-10-26)Texas is the largest organic cotton producer in the US, but tillage is the primary weed control. Little research has been done on reducing tillage and cover crops in organic cotton. A living mulch is a cover crop planted ...
-
Rouze, Gregory Scott (2019-10-15)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer exciting new potentials within the field of precision agriculture. However, the technology remains in an experimental setting because of questions concerning data quality and quantity. ...
-
Pugh, Nicholas Ace (2018-11-26)Plant breeders must improve the efficiency of their programs to meet the needs of a rising world population and a rapidly changing climate. Proximal and remote sensing technologies stand as an attractive option for breeders, ...
-
Raub, Harrison Donald (2020-11-25)Woody encroachers have transformed the Southern Great Plains across its semi-arid regions. Little is known how these encroachers—particularly the drought tolerant Juniperus—may be vulnerable to hotter temperatures and water ...
-
Lee, Chin-Ling (2023-04-25)Precision agriculture technologies (PATs) are getting more attention as providing solutions in agricultural production to feed a growing global population. However, adoption of PATs is a complex process, and one barrier ...
-
Teare, Brody L (2021-12-10)Plant root phenotyping is a difficult task because of the opaque nature of soil, leading knowledge of root traits to lag behind above ground traits. While a large multiplicity of methods for observing roots have been ...
-
Chavez Ortiz, Jose Carlos (2020-11-12)Considerable research has been conducted to evaluate the productivity of biomass sorghum hybrids for bioenergy production, but research questions were mostly focused on determining the highest yielding hybrid for a single ...
-
Bhandari, Mahendra (2020-04-13)Precise field phenotyping has always been a bottleneck in wheat breeding. Traditionally, field phenotyping has been done by physically inspecting plots one by one. A substantial amount of time, cost, and labor is required ...
-
Camarillo Castillo, Fatima Del Rosario (2017-07-13)The increasing demand of wheat and the incidence of extreme weather events demand the development of high yielding wheat cultivars with resilience to extreme heat events. Photoprotective traits, as cuticular waxes, support ...
