Despite the growing adoption of soil health practices, the integrated effects of these practices on key soil microbial composition and activity remain unknown. This study[...]

Identification of stable and robust QTLs are prerequisites for marker-assisted selection in crop improvement. Here, we used high density linkage maps for genetic dissecti[...]

Soils are the largest dynamic stock of carbon (C) on Earth. Land management practices like tillageand fertilization can alter soil structure, impacting soil respiration a[...]

This study evaluates the impact of microbial inoculants, Trichoderma harzianum (BioEnsure®) and Bacillus spp. (BioTango™), on the abiotic stress tolerance of three turfgr[...]

This thesis highlights the importance of exotic Upland cotton germplasm or the primitive accessions sampling most of the botanical races. Most of the QTL regions for fibe[...]

Soybean is the subject of considerable breeding efforts because of its versatile uses. Major challenges for breeders include accurately phenotyping thousands of genotypes[...]

Degraded soil health conditions are major constraints to the sustainable production of row crops in the state of Georgia and most states in the Southeastern United States[...]

Study of complex biochemical pathway and genes involved in cotton fiber development is important to understanding the biology behind the longest plant cell known. Cotton [...]

Soil compaction affects carbon and nitrogen dynamics, leading to increased air and water pollution and decreased NUE and crop yield. Therefore, a lysimeter study was cond[...]

Optimizing corn production in Georgia necessitates precise management of nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates, irrigation practices, and seeding densities to enhance yields and [...]

In northeastern Italy, Veneto contributes significantly to national and international agricultural production. Veneto is particularly known for its cultivation of Cichori[...]

As one of the leading pecan regions, the Southeast corpus of research on water use of pecan trees is scarce. Much of the knowledge of water requirements stems largely fro[...]

Creeping bentgrass (Agrositis stolonifera L.) is an economically important perennial grass species which is largely used on high value turf areas but typically show poor [...]

Research was conducted to evaluate herbicide tolerance and efficacy across Georgia agronomic production systems. These issues include pink purslane control with postemerg[...]

The bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) has infested and damaged bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] hayfields throughout the southeast[...]

The impact of living mulch corn production on nitrogen availability, crop growth, and water quality was investigated. Plant, soil, and water samples were taken over the [...]

Because of the relatively low cost of production and their high N content, the vast majority of N fertilizers used in crop production are ammonium-based. Previous resear[...]

Soil and groundwater at a former pesticide factory in southern Brazil was contaminated by chlorobenzene and benzene, and we evaluated phytoremediation using trees. In a g[...]

Iron (Fe) is essential to plants, microbes, and animals, is an important element in weathered soils from tropical and subtropical regions due to its reactivity toward car[...]

Coastal properties at risk of erosion have traditionally been protected by hard armoring structures, e.g. bulkheads or seawalls. Hardened shorelines reduce essential inte[...]

Uranium (U) contamination is a major environmental problem associated with the mining and processing of nuclear materials for both weapons and power production. When poss[...]

Terroir, or the taste of place (Trubek 2008), is the unique assemblage of environmentaland cultural factors that define a particular geography, essentialized in the food [...]

In regions of concentrated poultry production, poultry litter (PL) is commonly surface-applied to pastures at high levels over multiple years. The effect of long-term app[...]

Water resources management in Georgia has become increasingly complex. Recent drought conditions as well as increased agricultural water withdrawals in the southwestern[...]

The genetic diversity of the worlds cultivated cotton gene pool is poor due to a series of bottlenecks caused by migration, domestication and selection. Low genetic diver[...]
