The soil microbiome can increase crop resilience to both abiotic and biotic stress, there is growing interest in uncovering the mechanisms by which we shape plant associated microbiomes yields within stressful environments. Through rhizodeposits, plants influence composition of microbial communities conditions rhizosphere, potentially generating plant-soil feedbacks nutrient availability competitive ability against neighboring plants. Invasive have repeatedly been shown drive that their...
Popcorn [Zea mays (L.) var. Everta] is an important field crop in the Midwestern United States. However, hailstorms are a major threat to ensuring high yield because of their effects on leaf photosynthesis, pollination, and stalk lodging. A multi-state study spanning six site-years (2020–2023) was conducted two locations (Ohio Nebraska) determine how defoliation intensity at different stages affects loss popcorn compare these losses with current values National Crop Insurance Service (NCIS)...
Abstract Pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging bioenergy oilseed crop of interest to farmers in the Upper Midwestern United States. Improved lines with beneficial agronomic traits are being developed, including reduced silicle shattering and altered seed coat characteristics, though planting establishment still challenging for this small‐seeded crop. A controlled‐environment experiment was conducted assess impact treatment pelleting on pennycress germination seedling vigor four...
Pennycress is an emerging oilseed crop, but some improved lines still exhibit seed dormancy that may impede germination and establishment. A laboratory study was conducted in 2021 to identify treatments increase of a wild pennycress line ('MN106NS'). randomised complete block experimental design used with two replications 12 treatments: untreated control; fludioxonil (50 μg ai per g seed); gibberellic acid (GA) soak at 0.05 or 0.01% w/w for hours; pelleting diatomaceous earth commercial...
Introduction Oilseed pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging biofuel crop for use in the aviation industry that has potential as a rotational corn Zea mays L.)–soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cropping sequences. Ensuring autumn emergence of after early broadcast seeding key because this practice may result uneven spatial distribution due to small seed size and variable germination, soil contact, moisture availability. The objective research was evaluate impact five treatments...
