Growth models for morphological traits of sunn hemp
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017 The objective of the present study was to fit Gompertz and Logistic nonlinear to descriptions of morphological traits of sunn hemp. Two uniformity trials were conducted and the crops received identical treatment in all experimental area. Sunn hemp seeds were sown in rows 0.5 m apart with a plant density of 20 plants per row meter in a usable area of 52

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciInsecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Crop performance and profitability for the initial transition years of a regenerative cropping system in the Upper Midwest United States. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...
