Management and Control of Invasive Species Affecting Grazing Land
CA Dept of Food and Agriculture (6-106)     |     CA     |     2006
Addressed pioneer or incipient invasive weed populations that are new invaders to regions of California covered in the proposal through eradication of species with high risk agriculture.
Setting the Standard for Pennsylvania Mushrooms: A Market Based Approach to Protecting Air Quality
Collaborative Research and Designs for Agriculture     |     PA     |     2006
Demonstrate the implementation of a conservation standard during the mushroom production cycle that will be used by mushroom producers to promote their production as one that is environmentally friendly.
Conserving Water and Minimizing Leaching of Salts and Nitrate- Nitrogen in the Arkansas Valley Through Enhanced Irrigation and Nutrient Management
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
This project will address irrigation technology such as drip irrigation, irrigation water management (flow rate and scheduling) to reduce runoff, deep percolation, and leaching of salts and nitrate, and nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rate, application method e.g., injection through drip, and application timing to optimize nitrogen use efficiency and minimize leaching of nitrate-N into the groundwater.
Expanding Bio-Base Energy Crop Options in Dryland Systems
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
Grow dryland adapted, sorghum hybrids (starch-enhanced grain sorghum and sweet cane sorghum hybrids) that produce more ethanol providing sorghum growers the opportunity to produce and market more efficient and economical bio-based energy crops for the High Plains.
No-till crop production using a kura clover living mulch system
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the benefits of using a kura clover living mulch system for no-till crop production under irrigated conditions in Colorado. A kura clover living mulch system has appeal in Colorado because of the ability to control soil erosion, fix atmospheric nitrogen, improve soil quality, sequester carbon, and provide an economical mixed grain and forage production method. This system has special interest for producers seeking to improve forage quality when grazing crop aftermath.
PATICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT OF ECOLOGICAL STATE-AND-TRANSITION MODELS: INTERGRATING SCIENTIFIC AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FOR RANGELAND SUSTAINABILITY
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
This project will use an innovative participatory stakeholder process to develop and compare the accuracy and utility of state-and-transition (S-T) models of vegetation change that are derived from different knowledge sources (e.g. professional, local, and scientific knowledge) and both qualitative and quantitative model development procedures. Develop an outreach module and handbook describing the development and use of the S-T models.
The effect of the use of a traveling sprinkler and a polyacrylamide-zeolite blend on onion strands, yields, quality and returns and movement of nitrates, SALTS AND SELENIUM IN THE SOIL UNDER A SUB-SURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
The ultimate objective of this project was to improve yield, quality and returns of onions being grown on sub-surface drip irrigation (SDI) systems. This project determined the effect of sprinkling on germination and emergence of seeded onions with and without AgriBlend (HYDROGEL and Zeolite) and the effect that improved germination and emergence has on the yield, quality and returns from these onions.
VALIDATION AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE COLORADO AGRICULTURAL METEOROLOGICAL NETWORK – COAGMET FOR IMPROVED Irrigation AND PEST MANAGEMENT
Colorado State University     |     CO     |     2006
The project Conducted a validation and demonstration project in the Arkansas Valley to improve and promote the utility of Colorado Agricultural Meteorological Network (CoAgMet) weather data products among irrigating farmers in this region.
An Assessment Tool for California's Naval Orange Industry: Implementation Phase
CRDA dba Protected Harvest     |     CA     |     2006
Enrolled producers in Protected Harvest program to cause market differentiation that will encourage new and innovative conservation approach to producing Naval Oranges.
Farm Water and Energy Conservation: Coupling Conservation Tillage with Overhead, Low-pressure irrigation Systems
Dept of Plant Sciences UC Regents     |     CA     |     2006
Determine the profitability and water use efficiencies and air quality improvements of diverse and intensive no-till crop rotations under low-pressure overhead irrigation in the San Joaquin valley, relative to today's systems, extend findings through California.
