Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of soil water and crop water stress within a field is critical for effective Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) management. Proper VRI can result in improved protection of the crop from early onset of crop water stress while minimizing…

Production of soft red winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum ), the type of wheat used for baking cookies, crackers, and cakes, is known to be reduced by several biotic diseases; however, the impact of virus diseases on wheat health is widely underestimated in Ohio. This is partially…
Arabinoxylan (AX) is a plant polysaccharide which consists of a xylan backbone on which arabinose is substituted. Thirty structurally different wheat arabinoxylan hydrolyzates (AXH) were prepared by means of different combinations of xylanase (Cellvibrio japonicas xylanase (CJX)…
Root-lesion nematodes (RLN) Pratylenchus thornei Sher and Allen, 1953 and P. neglectus (Rensch, 1924) Filipjev Schuurmans and Stekhoven are soil-borne pathogens of wheat that invade and feed on root host cells. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW) these species of nematode were found …
Scope and method of study. The purposes of this study are: (1) Determination of Colombian total wheat import demand and effect of seasonality especially from the major exporters such as the United States and Canada. (2) Forecasting the United States total wheat exports to Colomb…
Two studies were conducted to determine the technical and financial feasibility of agroforestry systems in Punjab, Pakistan. One study was on cultivated land and examined the effects of single row, 6 to 71\over2 year old, shelterbelts on wheat and sorghum yield. Three different …
Mycosphaerella graminicola, cause of Septoria tritici leaf blotch of wheat, is an important disease throughout the world. Information about the population structure of the pathogen is useful to improve control strategies. Molecular studies have shown that there was a high level …
Scope and method of study. Hard red winter (HRW) wheat cultivars of the southern Great Plains are traditionally bred in a grain-only (GO) management system, but are commonly grown for the dual purpose (DP) of forage and grain from the same crop. Our objectives were to determine …
Modern developments in agricultural biotechnology are leading to the creation of supply chains involving identity preservation (IP) of genetically modified (GM) and non-GM crops. This study defines a basic farm model together with other major features of three Supply Chain Syste…
Bioethanol is a promising renewable biofuel and wheat is currently the main candidate asthe feedstock for its production in the UK context. The quality of the numerous varieties ofwheat developed in the past by plant breeders has been well examined in terms of bread, biscuitand …
This Project identified the relationships between storage conditions, dry matter losses (DMLs) caused by Fusarium species in cereal grains and mycotoxin contamination and assessed novel control strategies for post-harvest grain management including chemical control and ozone. F.…
A previous study in this laboratory found that hard red wheat is more effective than soft white wheat in reducing colon cancer risk, regardless of processing state, based on fewer aberrant crypt foci (ACF), a morphological marker of colon cancer risk. Here we examined the effect…
Early maturing spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are required for the short growing season of western Canada. However, earliness in wheat is an extremely complex trait controlled by photoperiod response, vernalization and earliness per se genes. The objectives of thi…
