Genetic characterization of red rice (Oryza sativa L.) and control in imidazolinone tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Red rice from the southern United States was collected and analyzed using Simple Sequence Length Polymorphism (SSLP) markers in an effort to test the assumption that red rice is Oryza sativa ssp. indica. The 18 markers ...
Combined water use of turf and woody ornamentals in an irrigated South Texas landscape
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Landscape water conservation and potential evapotranspiration (PET or ET[p]) based irrigation programs are hindered by a lack of data on actual evapotranspiration (ET[a]) rates of multiple plant species landscapes. ...
Influence of glyphosate on growth and yield of glyphosate-tolerant cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars expressing herbicide tolerance to topical applications of herbicides are commercially available. It has been documented that under certain conditions, applications of ...
Red rice (Oryza sativa L.) control in herbicide tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Red rice has interfered with production of commercial rice in the United States for over 150 years. Because of the genetic and physiological similarities between red rice and commercial rice, herbicides have been unsuccessful ...
Introgression of resistance to Rotylenchulus reniformis into Meloidogyne incognita resistant upland cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Reniform nematodes, Rotylenchulus reniformis, can cause losses in cotton yield as high as 60% (Robinson; Yik and Birchfield). High levels of resistance to this nematode has not been reported in Gossypium hirsutum, although ...
Forage quality of Sorghum crop residues after grain harvest
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
It has been hypothesized that the forage quality stay-green phenotypes of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is greater than senescent cultivars. Quality evaluations included 0 h, 48 h and 7 d in situ digestions ...
Diclosulam persistence in soil and its effect on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and rotation crops
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The persistence of diclosulam in soil was evaluated in Yoakum and De Leon, TX. During the first year, peanut was planted and diclosulam was applied at 0, 18, 27, 52 and 81 g ai/ha. Soil samples were taken from these ...
Growth and yield comparisons of Pix® Plus and additional Bacillus cereus treated cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Pix® Plus, a plant growth regulator (PGR) applied to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), is a combination of mepiquat chloride (MC) and Bacillus cereus (BC). Mepiquat chloride is a gibberellic acid (GA) synthesis inhibitor, ...
Row spacing effects on the canopy light extinction coefficient of upland cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Field experiments were conducted in 1998 and 1999 at the Stiles Farm, Thrall, Texas and the Blackland Research Center, Temple, Texas, respectively, to characterize the influence of row spacing, plant density and time of ...
Identification, distribution, and control of triasulfuron-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) in Central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Field studies were initiated in 1999 and 2000 at separate locations in McLennan County, Texas to determine the effectiveness of various herbicides for Italian ryegrass control in imidazolinone tolerant wheat. In the 1999 ...
