Abstract High-dimensional and high-throughput genomic, field performance, environmental data are becoming increasingly available to crop breeding programs, their integration can facilitate genomic prediction within across environments provide insights into the genetic architecture of complex traits nature genotype-by-environment interactions. To partition trait variation additive dominance (main effect) corresponding genetic-by-environment variances, identify specific factors that influence...
Abstract Accurate prediction of the phenotypic outcomes produced by different combinations genotypes, environments, and management interventions remains a key goal in biology with direct applications to agriculture, research, conservation. The past decades have seen an expansion new methods applied toward this goal. Here we predict maize yield using deep neural networks, compare efficacy 2 model development methods, contextualize performance conventional linear machine learning models. We...
Biochar is one of the few nature-based technologies with potential to help achieve net-zero emissions agriculture. Such an outcome would involve mitigation greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from agroecosystems and optimization soil organic carbon sequestration. Interest in biochar application heightened by its several co-benefits. Several reviews summarized past investigations on biochar, but these mostly included laboratory, greenhouse, mesocosm experiments. A synthesis field studies lacking,...
Abstract Objectives Advanced tools and resources are needed to efficiently sustainably produce food for an increasing world population in the context of variable environmental conditions. The maize genomes fields (G2F) initiative is a multi-institutional effort that seeks approach this challenge by developing flexible distributed infrastructure addressing emerging problems. G2F has generated large-scale phenotypic, genotypic, datasets using publicly available inbred lines hybrids evaluated...
Abstract Soil biology is vital for maintaining productivity, enhancing soil health, and creating resilient agroecosystems. However, many questions remain on how microbial communities are impacted by different properties management practices, especially grower‐managed fields. This study examined biological health (0–15 cm) field history data from 310 fields within Michigan between Fall 2019 Spring 2021. The objectives were to evaluate the impact of texture, tillage, crop diversity populations...
Abstract Silage corn ( Zea mays L.) in Michigan and the Great Lakes region is prone to an emerging foliar disease called tar spot (caused by Phyllachora maydis ). When infected with Phyllochora , stromata develop on leaves resulting early senescence drying. Therefore, understand effect of forage yield, nutritive value, predicted milk field trials were conducted at multiple locations from 2021–2023. Field arranged randomized complete block design four replications. Treatments included hybrid...
Abstract Relative maturity (RM) selection is important for corn ( Zea mays L.) farmers because it has significant effects on yield and profit. Selecting the appropriate RM particularly in northern Corn Belt where growing season length often a limiting factor. However, there limited information optimal maximizing partial returns Michigan other states. The objective of this study was to examine across over last two decades identify that maximizes returns. Data from irrigated dryland hybrid...
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that, depending on the type and exposure levels, can be a threat to human animal health. When multiple mycotoxins occur together, their risk effects health additive or synergistic. Little information is known about specific types of co-occurrence in state Michigan Great Lakes region United States. To understand types, incidences, severities, frequency maize grain (Zea mays L.), samples were collected from across over two years analyzed...
Abstract Objectives This report provides information about the public release of 2018–2019 Maize G X E project Genomes to Fields (G2F) Initiative datasets. G2F is an umbrella initiative that evaluates maize hybrids and inbred lines across multiple environments makes available phenotypic, genotypic, environmental, metadata information. The understands necessity characterize deploy sources genetic diversity face challenges for more sustainable agriculture in context variable environmental...
This release note describes the Maize GxE project datasets within Genomes to Fields (G2F) Initiative. The aims understand genotype by environment (GxE) interactions and use information collected improve resource allocation efficiency increase predictability stability, particularly in scenarios of variable environmental patterns. Hybrids inbreds are evaluated across multiple environments phenotypic, genotypic, environmental, metadata made publicly available.The include phenotypic data hybrids...
Abstract On‐farm research has emerged in recent years as a unique approach to involve farmers and other agricultural stakeholders active participants knowledge development an effective method of technology innovation transfer across farms. This study assessed the perspective US regarding on‐farm via implementation 24‐question survey distributed most Midwest South‐Central regions. We found that generally are willing engage with universities conduct were 40% more likely adopt practices...

Abstract As soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yields reach record highs, more nutrients are required to maintain these production levels. This study was conducted evaluate the effect of S and N on yield in diverse environments across United States. Data were collected from a total 52 sites 10 states over 2 yr (2019 2020) for this study. A factorial arrangement three rates (11, 22, 33 kg ha −1 ) using two sources (ammonium sulfate [AMS] calcium [CaSO 4 ]) broadcasted by hand at planting....
Cercosporidium personatum (Berk. & Curt.) Deighton causes late leaf spot (LLS) in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.), which leads to necrotic lesions, early senescence and yield losses. Detailed physiological analyses can contribute an improved understanding of peanut‐disease interactions cultivar improvement. A study was conducted evaluating two cultivars with more (York) less (Carver) quantitative resistance C. grown under fungicide‐sprayed nonsprayed conditions the field at Citra, FL over...
Feedstock mineral composition influences suitability for conversion to energy and soil nutrient removal impacts fertilization economics of production. However, few data are available on perennial bioenergy grass crops, especially in the southeastern United States. This study was conducted at three locations Florida comparing biomass yield, composition, sugarcane ( Saccharum spp. hybrid), energycane sweetcane [ S. arundinaceum (Retz.) Jesw.], elephantgrass Pennisetum purpureum (Schum.)],...
Abstract Mycotoxins in silage corn ( Zea mays L.) accumulate due to ear rot infections by certain ascomycete fungi and cause health issues livestock. Fungal intensify with increase ear‐damaging insect injury favorable environment the US Great Lakes region. Therefore, evaluating strategies such as hybrid protection fungicide decisions manage insects, rots, mycotoxin, quality is crucial. Field trials were conducted randomized complete block design at 11 Michigan site‐years across 2019–2021...
