The frequency and intensity of extreme weather years, characterized by abnormal precipitation temperature, are increasing. In isolation, these years have disproportionately large effects on environmental N losses. However, the sequence (e.g., wet-dry vs. dry-wet) may affect cumulative We calibrated validated DAYCENT ecosystem process model with a comprehensive set biogeophysical measurements from corn-soybean rotation managed at three fertilizer inputs without winter cover crop in Iowa, USA....
ABSTRACT Tall fescue ( Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort., nom. cons.) can form a symbiosis with the fungal endophyte Epichloë coenophiala , whose presence often benefits plant, depending on plant and genetics prevailing environmental conditions. Despite this having agricultural, economic, ecological importance, relatively little is known regarding its response to predicted global climate change. We quantified ecophysiological responses of four tall genetic clone pairs, where each...
A constitutive, host-specific symbiosis exists between the aboveground fungal endophyte Epichloë coenophiala (Morgan-Jones & W. Gams) and cool-season grass tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.), which is a common forage in United States, Australia, New Zealand, temperate European grasslands. cultivars of are continually developed to improve pasture productivity animal health by manipulating both E. genetics, yet how these selected grass-endophyte combinations impact other...
Abstract The demand for natural fibers is increasing worldwide as markets respond to the need replace nonrenewable sources. Kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus L.) a promising biorenewable resource producing fibers. Few studies have investigated crop when grown at latitudes above 40° and in U.S. Midwest. objectives of this study were assess influence management practices on fiber (bast core lignocellulose) composition, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), total ash concentration. Cultivars ‘Tainung 2’...
Core Ideas Two kenaf cultivars were compared for stem fiber yield under combinations of planting rate, row spacing, and N fertilization rate. Tainung 2 produced greater than Whitten. Nitrogen rate did not influence yield. Stand density, core/bast ratio, basal diameter influenced by three‐way interactions. ABSTRACT Kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is a promising biorenewable resource producing natural fibers but few studies have investigated the crop when grown in cooler climates, such as...
Development and commercialization of biobased bioenergy products contribute to new expanded markets for agricultural feedstocks, reduce U.S. dependence on petroleum, diversify agriculture. In Iowa, there are opportunities development manufacturing from feedstocks the production kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus L.), an annual, fast‐growing herbaceous crop. Different agronomic management practices a single large field experiment were investigated stem in Iowa with objectives to: (i) develop optimum...
