Wheat research benefits producers
Producing plant cultivars is like releasing a new technology. Technology changes with the times and allows us to purchase the latest computer or smartphone. New varieties of plants (called "cultivars") are much the same - always changing.
Noble releases four new small grains forages
The Noble Research Institute's small grains breeding program is the longest running breeding program in the Foundation's history. This ongoing work has produced four new small grains cultivars over the past few years.
Fungicide and host resistance help control pecan scab
One of the most damaging diseases in pecans is pecan scab, caused by the fungus Fusicladium effusum. It infects actively growing tissue, such as stems, leaves and nut shucks, when temperatures are above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity is above 90 percent.
Pecan research moves into the 21st century
For decades, scientists have used molecular markers for research and breeding purposes to increase yields and water and nutrient efficiencies as well as disease and insect resistance in agricultural crops. Recently, pecan scientists have looked at the development of new technologies used in this research and considered its use in pecan breeding and research.
Forage Yields from 2008-2009 Ryegrass Variety Trials
The ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L) variety testing program is designed to provide up-to-date performance information to cooperators and producers in Oklahoma and Texas about ryegrass varieties that...
Evaluation of Sesame Cultivars for Grain Production in Southern Oklahoma
Crop producers are looking for alternative crops like sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) that can be used in a wheat rotation. Sesame is drought tolerant, and sets seeds and yields relatively well under...
Sesame as an Alternative Crop
Sesame is one of the most ancient oilseed crops and is used for cooking and other culinary preparations in various parts of the world. Sesame seed contains 50 percent oil and 25 percent protein.
Introducing the Alfalfa Breeder's Toolbox
To help advance agricultural research, scientists at the Noble Research Institute have developed the Alfalfa Breeder's Toolbox.
New Toolbox to Help Develop and Grow Better Alfalfa
Scientists at the Noble Research Institute have developed the Alfalfa Breeder's Toolbox (available at: alfalfatoolbox.org) as a comprehensive, web-based portal to address practical challenges for alfalfa production and accelerate breeding to develop new enhanced cultivars with better performance.
Improving Winter Hardiness in Oat
NF402 and Heavy Grazer II have both shown excellent winter hardiness when compared to other oat cultivars grown in the Southern Great Plains.
