The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and traditional farming methods are struggling to keep up with the rising demand for food. At the same time, urbanization and climate change are shrinking arable land, forcing innovators to … Continue reading →

Analysis was con‐ ducted with correlated allele frequencies and an admixture model for K values ranging from 1 to 20. Each run was conducted with a burn‐in period of 100,000 steps followed by 100,000 Monte Carlo Markov Chain replicates. To … Continue reading →

Lower rates seldom yield adequate forage production to justify the expense.Traditionally, nitrogen applications have been made in the fall near the time of the first rains. In regions of high rainfall and where heavy winter grazing has occurred, the forage … Continue reading →

Fertilizer should be applied evenly over the top surface followed by a thorough irrigation to move the material into the bale . Since nitrogen levels are the limiting factor in the preconditioning process, one should select a water-soluble fertilizer high … Continue reading →

Three crop safety studies and two supplemental dose-response evaluations were conducted in 2019 and 2020 to evaluate the crop safety of the Israeli-developed PICKIT decision support system on California processing tomatoes. These studies were conducted at the UC Davis Plant Sciences … Continue reading →

M-209 T50 was affected by planting depth in 2019, at 79 DAP and 80 DAP for 3 cm and 6 cm planting depths, respectively. Full-season plant heights were not affected by PPB treatment, cultivar or planting depth either year .In … Continue reading →

The effects of herbicide application timing on Echinochloa densities in 2016 were only significant for T5; however, Echinochloa density was generally greater in plots with deeper-seeded rice. In 2017, Glyphosate alone reduced Echinochloa density by 30%, 31%, and 73% in 1.3 … Continue reading →

The four almond kernels that were tumbled directly in the [14C]- herbicide treated soil were rinsed with 20 mL of water. The rinsate was collected into glass scintillation vials and evaporated to near dryness using vacuum evaporation. 10 mL of Ultima … Continue reading →

It was hypothesized that, as the water treatment pH increased, there would be greater removal of herbicide from the soil in the rinsate. As pH of the solution increased, the equilibrium of the weak acid herbicide would be pushed towards … Continue reading →

To accurately compare emissions of a BE truck with that of a diesel truck, it is important to consider the upstream emissions associated with the fuel cycle in addition to the tailpipe emissions, to capture the emissions associated with generation … Continue reading →
