Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abundance of agricultural production enjoyed in the United States is the result of a federal-state partnership that relies on land grant universities to respond to the needs of society through research, invention, problem-solving, outreach, and applied science and engineering. The Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department at Texas A&M University, established in 1915, has been an important part of that effort. Over the hundred years of its existence, it has successfully tackled the challenges of mechanization, electrification, irrigation, harvest, transport, and more to the benefit of agriculture in Texas, the United States, and the world. In this book, historian Henry Dethloff and current department chair Stephen Searcy explore the history of the department—its people, its activity, its growth—and project the department’s future for its second century, when its primary task will be to sustainably help meet the needs of a predicted 9.6 billion Earth residents and to recognize that societal food concerns are focused more and more on sustainable production and human health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton, the most important natural fiber crop, has been improved by conventional breeding—largely through planned hybridization of different cotton genotypes, since the discovery of Mendelian genetics. All these efforts resulted in the development of resilient high yielding cotton varieties. However, the progress through conventional breeding procedures is slow because of long lag periods for developing a variety, little control over the new genetic combinations, unwanted traits and lack of foolproof performance testing system. Genomic assays discovered over the last two decades have made it possible to understand the “language” of the genome by associating the genes with specific traits. Together with the more recently established gene-editing tools like CRISPR-Cas9, the cotton genome can be tailored much more precisely than ever before. In this regard, genetic information has been harnessed, through (i) sequencing of the progenitor and cultivated cotton species, (ii) ongoing mega pan-genome sequencing projects, (iii) genetic and physical mapping, and (iv) introgression of genes from alien sources, that resulted in the development of resilient cotton cultivars. These technologies have been deployed or are attempting to overcome the challenges of water shortage, excessive heat in most cotton growing regions, infectious diseases and infestation of insect pests, as well as rising production cost, for sustainable cotton production beyond 2030. In this book, new knowledge generated by the cotton research community and its application for developing resilient cotton are comprehensively summarized. This book contributed by well-known cotton researchers is a timely collection of the challenges and successes of precision cotton breeding in a changing environment.

Download or read book Climate Change and Cotton Production in Modern Farming Systems written by Michael P Bange and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world cotton is broadly adapted to growing in temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical environments, but growth may be challenged by future climate change. Production may be directly affected by changes in crop photosynthesis and water use due to rising CO2 and changes in regional temperature patterns. Indirect effects may result from a range of government regulations aimed at climate change mitigation. While there is certainty that future climate change will impact cotton production systems; there will be opportunities to adapt. This review begins to provide details for the formation of robust frameworks to evaluate the impact of projected climatic changes, highlight the risks and opportunities with adaptation, and details the approaches for investment in research. Ultimately, it is a multi-faceted systems-based approach that combines all elements of the cropping system that will provide the best insurance to harness the change that is occurring, and best allow cotton industries worldwide to adapt. Given that there will be no single solution for all of the challenges raised by climate change and variability, the best adaptation strategy for industry will be to develop more resilient systems. Early implementation of adaptation strategies, particularly in regard to enhancing resilience, has the potential to significantly reduce the negative impacts of climate change now and in the future.
Download or read book Effects of Optical Sensing and Variable Rate Technology on Nitrogen Fertilizer Use Lint Yields and Profitability in Cotton Production written by Melissa Reynolds Stefanini and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is expensive and can be harmful to the environment. Precision agriculture (PA) has the capability to reduce the amount of excess N from crop production released into the environment, increase net returns to the grower, and reduce the risk of profit loss due to spatial and temporal variability. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the profitability, risk management potential, and N use efficiency of using real-time optical sensing with variable-rate technologies (VRT) to manage spatial variability in cotton production. Data collected from 29 field trials in Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri from 2011 to 2014 included lint yields harvested and N rates calculated from three N rate management strategies. The first N treatment was the existing farmer practice (FP), the second was a VRT treatment using optical sensing technology GreenseekerTM, and the third was a VRT treatment using GreenseekerTM and yield monitor information. The two PA strategies were compared to the existing farmer practice. In addition, soil properties and weather were examined to determine their effects on lint yields, net returns, N rates, and N use efficiency. Three methods used in this study each include an analysis of lint yields, N rates, net returns, and N use efficiency. The first model was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify treatment mean differences. The second model was an ANOVA that measured soil and weather effects on mean differences between technology and FP. The third model was a logistic analysis to test for risk of a loss using VRT. Results indicated differences in technology net returns versus the FP and no differences between VRT and FP in yields, N rates, or N use efficiency. Warmer temperatures were negatively associated and a greater percentage of organic matter had positive associations with VRT net returns and N use efficiency relative to FP. Profit risk management benefits were identified using GreenseekerTM versus the FP. Results can be used by Extension offices and cotton farmers in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Missouri to determine if adopting optical sensing and VRT would be beneficial to their operations.
