Resistance modality of resistant hybrid sorghum to sorghum midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
(1985)
Using the the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), sorghum midge resistant hybrid ATx2755 X Tx2767 and the sorghum midge susceptible hybrid ATx2752 X Tx430, the resistance mechanisms and several aspects of ...
Influence of different iron mineral sources on the growth of iron efficient and inefficient sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor) plants
(1985)
Two crops of Fe efficient (RTx2536) and inefficient (BTx378) sorghum were grown in a greenhouse study both with and without added CaCO3 in sand which was crushed and separated by sedimentation techniques to obtain particle ...
Characterization of caryopsis development in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(1981)
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench kernel fresh weight accumulation (FWA) and dry matter accumulation (DMA) were modeled in two experiments. Experiment I (1977, 1978) studied different endosperm types while Experiment II (1979, ...
Agronomic, grain and food quality evaluation of 14 sorghum food type genotypes for combining ability, heterosis, environmental and genetic effects in a line x tester analysis
(1986)
In some Central American countries, sorghum totally or partially replaces maize in the tortilla making process. Maize is preferred over sorghum despite sorghum yield advantage. The major constraint to increasing sorghum ...
Efficacy of the natural enemies of the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), in Texas High Plains grain sorghum
(1984)
The efficacy of greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), natural enemies was determined in grain sorghum using mechanical exclusion techniques and paired comparison experimental approaches. Indirect methods of evaluation ...
The inheritance of fermentable carbohydrates in stems of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(1981)
Two inheritance studies were conducted at College Station, Texas, to determine the nature and mode of inheritance of fermentable carbohydrates in stems of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. Harvested stems were stripped and ...
An analysis of the strain relationships of maize dwarf mosaic virus
(1986)
Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) is one of the Potyviruses whose strain relationships have not been clearly defined. Many of the characteristics which have been traditionally used in the strain definitions are now known to ...
Weed control systems for no-till crop rotations in the Central Texas Blackland Prairie
(1986)
Experiments were conducted to evaluate weed control practices in no-till cropping systems for the Central Texas Blackland Prairie. Herbicide placement techniques for preemergence applications of pendimethalin [N-(1-ethyl ...
A study of sorghum diseases in Honduras, their importance under different cropping systems, and strategies for their control
(1986)
Twenty-one sorghum diseases were identified in different sorghum-growing regions of Honduras, of which eight were studied with regard to their effect on sorghum yield. Sorghum downy mildew, caused by Peronosclerospora ...
Changes in proteins of sorghum, maize and pearl millet during food processing and variability of proteins in sorghum cultivars
(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 ...
