Noble Research Institute researchers search for ways to develop crop plants that require fewer finite resources.
Consider Stockpiling to Fill Summer Forage Slump
In our region of the Southern Great Plains, we basically grow forage during the spring and fall, corresponding to our seasonal rainfall pattern. We are typically short on forage during the winter and...
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.
Research updates pecan tree fertilizer recommendations
Proper fertilization can decrease stress and improve the health and development of trees. Annual application of nitrogen and adequate levels of phosphorus have been shown to help reduce alternate bearing in pecan trees.
Livestock Water Guidelines
Water is one of the most important nutrients for livestock. It is vital for many metabolic processes essential for life, growth and reproduction.
10 Truths About Beef
The process of bringing beef from pasture to plate is unique and complex. Here are some facts about beef and the industry that produces it.
How to Take a Pecan Leaf Test
It is critical to accurately measure the nutrient needs of pecan trees for successful orchard management. Leaf tissue can serve as an indicator of both limiting and excess nutrients. Charles Rohla,...
Drought Stress on Pecan Trees
Drought conditions cause extreme stress on pecan trees. It is important for producers to understand the effects of drought and how pecan trees cope with the stress it brings.
Supplementing and Stretching Forage Resources
During periods of limited forage supplies, managing these resources to best meet animal requirements is one of the most important things a cow-calf producer can do. It is critical that producers evaluate the best way to supplement and stretch their forage resources to remain viable in this industry.
Peptides Show Promise to Advance Agriculture
Researchers at the Noble Research Institute are taking a novel approach by investigating small peptides as a way to potentially help improve plant stress tolerance.
