Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.

Koeshall and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a cool season annual legume that is grown for production of edible seed or forage. Agronomic and rotational challenges exist for semi-arid growing regions in western Nebraska that challenge the profitability of many dryland cropping systems in wester Nebraska. This research is focused on improving agronomic recommendations of seeding rates and timing of crop establishment to improve yield responses for producers while evaluating the effectiveness of replacing chemical summer fallow with field pea to improve soil health, increase water conservation, and increase land productivity with an intensified crop rotation. The effect of planting date and seeding rate were evaluated with three different planting dates. Each planting date included five seeding rates at four locations throughout western Nebraska over two years. Planting date did not influence grain yield response while plant population did influence grain yield. Planting dates displayed different response curves within a site-year. Optimal plant population changed with different site-years and planting dates. Optimal plant population results from specific site-years and across western Nebraska over the two year experiment suggests that maximum partial net return is achieved between 70-109 plants m-2. The rotation study was evaluated by comparing chemical summer fallow and field pea as treatments in a wheat-corn-fallow cropping system at two locations in western Nebraska over two cycles. Soil water content, soil fertility, field pea yield, and subsequent winter wheat yield was recorded throughout the experiment. Incorporation of field pea did not change winter wheat yield compared to chemical summer fallow. Field pea did improve sustainability parameters at both locations at certain sampling dates but did not result in permanent ecological improvements following harvest of winter wheat.

Download or read book World Vegetables written by Vincent E. Rubatzky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised and up-to-date, this wide-ranging, comprehensive treatise examines the many different aspects of vegetables from an international perspective. The diversity and depth of coverage of vegetables is largely due to the extensive background and experiences of the authors, Vincent Rubatzky and Mas Yamaguchi, as well as considerable input from colleagues and expert reviewers. This logically-organized text, filled with numerous illustrations, photographs, and tables, begins with an easy-to-read introduction to such topics as: the current role of vegetables as a world food crop, the origin and classification of vegetables, vegetables in human nutrition, and plant toxicants and folklore concerning vegetables. Background material on the basic principles for growing crops and production under adverse conditions are also featured in this section. Much of the material covered in the book focuses on the major and minor vegetables, their origin, taxonomy, botany, physiology, production and post harvest handling, and composition and use. In addition, current world production statistics are provided for many vegetable crops as well as listings of important diseases, insects, and other pests for many family groups. New features of this edition include: *Three new chapters covering mushrooms, aquatic vegetables, and herbs and spices *several appendix tables listing vegetables according to family, genus, species, nutritive value, and recommended storage conditions for many vegetables The introductory chapter offers an excellent background of the role of vegetables for the beginning and advanced students, both in the U.S. and worldwide. The chapters following provide extension professionals, professors, agricultural agencies, commercial growers, and processing and seed industry personnel with a better understanding of individual vegetable species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From prehistoric times man has had a pecial s relationship with seed plants - as a source of food, materials for tools, buildings, clothing and pharmaceuticals, and for ornamenting his surroundings for his own delight (probably in that chronological order which, incidentally, also gives some indication ofthe priorities oflife). Today man's most important staple foods are derived directly from seeds as they have been since neolithic times. (It is a sobering thought, as Harlan* has pointed out, that nothing significant has been added to his diet since then. ) From those times he must have learned to collect, conserve and cultivate seeds; and the accumulated experience has been handed down. This book then is part of an ancient tradition, for here we are still primarily concerned with these skills. Seeds are plant propagules comprised of embryos in which growth has been suspended, usually supplied with their own food reserves and protected by special covering layers. Typically they are relatively dry structures compared with other plant tissues and, in this condi tion) they are resistant to the ravages of time and their environment. But resistant is a relative tenn and seeds do deteriorate: the type, the extent and the rapidity of the deterioration, and the factors which control it are important to agronomists, horticulturalists, plant breeders, seedsmen, seed analysts, and those concerned with the conservation of genetic resources.
