(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Aflatoxin development in corn prior to harvest can be a serious problem and it represents a production hazard that can have a significant monetary impact on corn producers. In 1980, silk-mediated kernel infection resulted ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Since 1984, wheat and corn producers have had a new risk management strategy, commodity options, available to them. This research evaluates the performance of selected short hedging strategies, including options and futures. ...

(1995-11-30)When a crop has been damaged by hail, it is important to be able to gauge the extent of the damage, the potential for recovery of the damaged crop, and the actions that might be necessary to maximize the recovery process. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Field studies were conducted on the Banks grass mite (BGM), Oligonychus pratensis (Banks), infesting commercial field corn in the Texas High Plains. The population dynamics and spatial distribution of BGM and its associated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Changes in the proteins of sorghum, pearl millet and maize after processing into tortillas or acidic and alkaline to were studied. Protein solubility, molecular weight (MW) distribution and pepsin in vitro digestibility ...
-
(2021-04-07)Corn is a vital ingredient to the whiskey industry, most notably as the main ingredient in bourbon whiskey. However, little research exists that explores how genetic, environment, and gene-environment interaction effects ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Percent infection and gain per cycle of selection were compared after two cycles of mass selection with progeny test, mass selection without progeny test and S1 selection in breeding for resistance to sorghum downy mildew ...

(2001-05-07)This publication explains the nutrient needs of corn, grain sorghum, cotton, wheat and warm-season perennial grasses in South and Southwest Texas.
-
(2010-07-14)The Texas Blackland Prairie is one of the most productive agricultural regions in Texas. This region provides a long growing season coupled with soils that have a high water holding capacity. However, the soils also provide ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A dry process, using hot air jets to cook tempered corn for dry masa flour production, was developed and evaluated. The new process required less energy and water than the method (nixtamalization) presently used. The effect ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Sectors of Zea mays cobs, with and without kernels were cultured in vitro in the presence and absence of fluridone. Kernel sections cultured in the presence of fluridone were transferred to medium containing fluridone and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The objective of this study was to determine the correlated and direct responses to divergent mass selection for days-to-anthesis (DTA) in a Mexican land-variety belonging to the race Chalqueno. Ten cycles of selection and ...
-
(2014-04-09)Atoxigenics and crop insurance are available to producers to assist in preventing economic loss from aflatoxin contamination in corn. Atoxigenics are a newer technology available to farmers, and although professional opinion ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Growth parameters of interplanted cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) including plant height, leaf area, dry weights of leaves, stems, flower clusters, green pods, and seed as well as soluble and total protein of each plant part ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Corn (or Maize) kernels may develop stress cracks due to internal stresses when subjected to moisture adsorbing or desorbing environments. Kernels with stress cracks break more readily than sound kernels during handling ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the rhizosphere of cereal grasses may reduce the fertilizer nitrogen requirements of grass crops by providing them with fixed nitrogen. This study evaluated the effects of oxygen partial pressure, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Several maize genotypes were grown in College Station and Etter, Texas in 1983 and College Station in 1984. Irrigations were scheduled to provide full and limited irrigation plots at each site. Each genotype was also ...
