Rumen microbiome response to sustained release mineral bolus supplement with low- and high-quality forages
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-06)Introduction: Limited forage quantity and quality are challenges faced in livestock production systems in semi-arid rangelands of the western United States, particularly when livestock face stressors such as cold weather ... -

Intercropping chickpea–flax for yield and disease management
(Wiley, 2023-03)Ascochyta blight (caused by Ascochyta rabiei) is a primary concern of chickpea production worldwide. Intercropping chickpea with a non-host crop has the potential to suppress this disease and improve resource use efficiency ... -
Soil bacterial community response to cover crop introduction in a wheat-based dryland cropping system
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-11)The incorporation of cover crops into cropping systems is important for enhancing soil health in agricultural systems. Soil microbes contribute to soil health by supplying key nutrients and providing protection against ... -
Effects of Maternal Protein Supplementation at Mid-Gestation of Cows on Intake, Digestibility, and Feeding Behavior of the Offspring
(MDPI AG, 2022-10)This study aimed to assess the effects of maternal protein supplementation and offspring sex (OS) on the intake parameters of the offspring. Forty-three Tabapuã cows were randomly allocated in the following treatments: ... -
Intercropping chickpea-flax for yield and disease management
(Wiley, 2022-12)Ascochyta blight (caused by Ascochyta rabiei) is a primary concern of chickpea production worldwide. Intercropping chickpea with a non-host crop has the potential to suppress this disease and improve resource use efficiency ... -
Introducing cover crops as a fallow replacement in the Northern Great Plains: I. Evaluation of cover crop mixes as a forage source for grazing cattle
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-09)Crop-livestock integration has demonstrated that cover crops can be terminated using livestock grazing with minimal negative impacts on soil health, however, provides little information on system-level approaches that ... -
Distinctive germination attributes of feather fingergrass (Chloris virgata) biotypes in response to different thermal conditions
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-06)An in-depth understanding of the germination response of troublesome weed species, such as feather fingergrass (Chloris virgata Sw.), to environmental factors (temperature, soil moisture, etc.) could play an essential role ... -
Crop rotation influences yield more than soil quality at a semiarid location
(Wiley, 2022-07)Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is often rotated with a fallow in semiarid regions to conserve soil moisture and minimize crop failures. We hypothesized that direct seed systems coupled with intensified and more diverse ... -
Haskap maturity stages and their influence on postharvest berry quality
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-06)Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached berry quality, respiration rate, and ethylene production at five stages of maturity and ... -
Does Elevated [CO2] Only Increase Root Growth in the Topsoil? A FACE Study with Lentil in a Semi-Arid Environment
(MDPI, 2021-03)Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations [CO2] are increasing steadily. Some reports have shown that root growth in grain crops is mostly stimulated in the topsoil rather than evenly throughout the soil profile by e[CO2], ... -
Genotypic variability in root length in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) cultivars in a semi-arid environment based on mini-rhizotron image capture
(Wiley, 2022-01)Physiological breeding is an approach that complements conventional breeding by providing characterizations of traits present in breeding populations. This allows breeders the ability to choose crosses based on desirable ... -
Introducing cover crops as fallow replacement in the Northern Great Plains: II. Impact on following wheat crops
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-12)Crop-livestock integration has demonstrated that cover crops can be terminated using livestock grazing with minimal negative impacts on soil health, however, provides little information on system-level approaches that ... -
Influence of residual feed intake and cow age on dry matter intake postweaning and peak lactation
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11)Supplemental nutrition for cattle is the greatest operating cost for cow-calf producers, accounting for 65% of the annual expenses (Meyer et al., 2008). Therefore, selection pressure for efficient animals that have lower ... -
Durum wheat yield and protein influenced by nitrogen management and cropping rotation
(Informa UK Limited, 2022-04)Nitrogen (N) is the major input for cereal grain production. N management in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is critical for optimizing grain yield, protein concentration, and utilization efficiency of nitrogen ... -
Influence of planting date and herbicide program on Amaranthus palmeri control in dry bean
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-11)Late-emerging summer annual weeds are difficult to control in dry bean production fields. Dry bean is a poor competitor with weeds, due to its slow rate of growth and delayed canopy formation. Palmer amaranth is particularly ... -
Haskap Preharvest Fruit Drop and Stop-drop Treatment Testing
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-12)Haskap (Lonicera caerulea), also known as honeyberry, is a relatively new fruit crop in North America. To date, most academic activity and research in North America involving haskap has focused on cultivar development and ... -
Cover crops to improve soil health in the North American Great Plains
(Wiley, 2021-09)Rotating cereal crops (e.g., wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] with a 10- to 21-mo summer fallow period [fallow]) is a common farming practice in dryland (rainfed) agricultural regions. Fallow is associated with several challenges ... -
Bagging Apple Fruit for Codling Moth Control in Western Montana
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-08)Codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is a major insect pest of apple (Malus domestica). If unmanaged, then codling moth can infest nearly all apples in an orchard, where the flesh-tunneling larva leave frass-laden tracks in the ... -
Fresh haskap berry postharvest quality characteristics and storage life
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-11)Haskap (Lonicera caerulea L.) is a relatively new berry crop in North America, and little research exists regarding its postharvest storage characteristics or storage life. Postharvest changes in berry quality, and principal ...
