Edamame are soybeans harvested at a physiologically immature (R6) stage as a specialty food item for fresh and processed (frozen) markets. The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, is a newly introduced insect pest of soybeans in North America. This field study was to provide baseline information on the impact of A. glycines on the edamame soybean. This study determined the in 2005 did not e...

Edamame soybeans are a speciality food item for fresh and processed markets and they are harvested at a physiologically immature (R6) stage. Bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata, is a sporadic pest of soybean in Nebraska, however, its pest status and abundance has increased in the recent years due to an increase in soybean acreage. This was a field experiment aimed at determining the populatio...

Emission trading is considered to be an economically sensitive method for reducing the concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. There has been debate about the viability of using urban tree plantings in these markets. The main concern is whether or not urban planting projects can be cost effective options for investors. We compared the cost efficiency ...

Received for Publication July 27, 1984 INTRODUCTION The time and amount of nitrogen (N) uptake affects both root and extractable sucrose yield of sugarbeets (Beta Vulgaris L.). Either excessive or late N fertilizer applications and subsequent plant N uptake from applied•or residual N sources cause an increasing proportion of the photosynthate to be used for top growth at the expense of both roo...

Food plots may increase the value of hunting leases, make deer more visible for viewing opportunities, and improve the diet quality of deer. However, planting food plots is not a replacement for poor habitat management. Maintaining deer densities within the carrying capacity of the habitat, sound livestock grazing management, and maintaining quality habitat should be the first priorities of any...

Knowing where, when, and how much rice is planted and harvested is crucial information for understanding the effects of policy, trade, and global and technological change on food security. We developed RiceAtlas, a spatial database on the seasonal distribution of the world's rice production. It consists of data on rice planting and harvesting dates by growing season and estimates of monthly pro...

Boro rice (grown in winter under irrigated condition) contributes to the major portion of production (over 50%) Bangladesh. Binadhan-17 is a green super developed by BINA which requires 30% less nitrogenous fertilizer and water grown aman season (primely produced rainfed). Due it’s increasing popularity adoption growers are keen cultivate it boro also. Taking account above situation, two field ...
