Irrigation And Drainage Problems In Uruguay, Jerald Emmet Christiansen
Irrigation And Drainage Problems In Uruguay, Jerald Emmet Christiansen
Reports
Synopsis: Uruguay irrigates about 65,000 acres, mostly rice (74%) and sugar cane (15%). Summer rainfall averages about 3.5 in. per month, but frequent droughts seriously affect both crops and livestock. Irrigation can be increased by storage in small reservoirs on tributary streams by means of low earth dams. Some areas will require flood control and draiange before intensive agriculture can be practiced.
The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani
The Influence Of Soil Moisture Suction And Evaporative Demand On Actual Evapotranspiration And Yield Of Alfalfa, Bozorg Bahrani
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Evapotranspiration has been defined as the combination of evaporation of water from the soil surface and transpiration of water by vegetation. If the ground is well covered by plants, most of the water is lost by transpiration of water directly from the plant tissue, rather than by evaporation of water directly from the soil surface. The term consumptive use is synonymous with evapotranspiration.
Interaction Of Riboflavin With Molybdenum, Jacques Tocatlian
Interaction Of Riboflavin With Molybdenum, Jacques Tocatlian
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Molybdenum may function as a catalyst in promoting and controlling some of the complex chemical reactions that go on in living systems. The lack of understanding which exists about these reactions is due to their obvious complexity and to the extremely minute quantities of molybdenum involved. Traces of molybdenum have been shown to have spectacular results on the growth of plants when added to certain soils. This metal is also required for the growth of azobacter, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria (1).
Molybdenum has been shown to be present in four enzymes: nitrate reductase (2), hydrogenase (3), xanthine oxidase (4) and aldehyde …

Studies In Iron Chlorosis Of Leaves, Narayan Gunderao Perur
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Normal healthy growth and development of plants is controlled by certain factors known as factors of plant growth. They are soil, climate, and plant inheritance. The soil contains many nutrient elements needed by plants both in macro and micro quantities. Iron is one of the essential elements required by plants in small amounts.
When plants are starving for any of the essential nutrients, characteristic symptoms usually appear as certain abnormalities, discoloration and deformation of leaves, fruits, and other parts. The deficiency symptoms, though not easily recognizable in some cases at the beginning, are quite apparent in advanced stages of plant …

The Effects Of Flouride Ion On Some Blood Constituents Of Rainbow Trout, Salmo Gairdneri, Linnaeus, Richard H. Alger
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
During the past quarter of a century there has been considerable investigation into the effects of fluorides on living organisms. It has been well established, as a result of these studies, that both small and elevated amounts of fluorides present in the environment may have a marked toxic effect upon gaining entry into the organism. Much of the research involving fluorides and the living organism has been confined to experimentation with animals, although considerable evidence indicates that plants are also subject to injury if fluorides are present in the atmosphere or the soil.
The great majority of the research dealing …

The Temperature Dependence Of The Drying Of Horizontal Soil Columns, Craig Loren Wiegand
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A consideration of the physical principles involved in evaporative drying of soil indicates that several physical processes might possibly limit the rate of evaporation. These include the rate of supply of energy to the site of evaporation, the rate of transfer of water vapor through the sample or through the atmosphere above the sample, and the rate of unsaturated flow of water to the soil surface or to the site of evaporation.

Hydrogen Bonding Between The Carbonyl Group And Wyoming Bentonite, Robert A. Kohl
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The vibrational frequencies of atom to atom bonds within a molecule are a function of the bond energies. Each bond has its characteristic frequency, and most of these frequencies can be detected with the infrared spectrophotometer. When one compound reacts with another or is adsorbed on the surface of a solid, detectable frequency changes or shifts may occur. These changes or shifts yield valuable information about the bonds which are formed or broken.

The Effect Of The Method Of Irrigation And Fertilizer Application On The Movement Of Nitrates In The Soil, Lavoir A. Banks
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
It is generally recognized that one of the most important factors limiting crop production is soil nitrogen. Farmers today are using more nitrogen fertilizers than ever before. All indications show that this usage will probably continue to increase. With the expanded use of nitrogen, it has become desirable to increase the efficiency from nitrogen fertilizers. One factor which will affect the efficiency is the position of the nitrogen in the soil in relation to the plant roots.

Early in 1952, walleye fry were stocked for the first time in Utah Lake. Subsequent plants were made in 1954, 1955 and 1956. Altogether, over two million fry have been stocked.
By January, 1958, it was felt sufficient time had elapsed for the species to establish patterns of growth, reproduction, food habits and consequent relationships to the new environment. Thus, on January 1, 1958, a Federal Aid to Fisheries project, number DJ F-4-R-5, job T, was initiated. This project was entitled "investigations of Yellow Pikeperch and Channel Catfish of Utah Lake, Utah County." Although the closing date was December 31, …

Since man first grew crops on calcareous soils he has probably been troubled with what we today call lime-induced chlorosis. This chlorosis has determined whether he grew certain desirable ornamentals or crops or whether he had to substitute others which were less desirable.
Lime-induced chlorosis is spread world wide. It has been reported in the vine and fruit growing regions of Europe, in the chernozem soils of Russia, and many other areas where the rainfall is relatively low and the soil is relatively high in calcium carbonate. In the United States it most frequently occurrs where the average annual rainfall …

A Comparison Of Internal Bicarbonate Of Some Chlorosis-Resistant And Chlorosis-Susceptible Plants, Ralph Barlow Clark
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Iron chlorosis has been a srious problem for many years. This physiological disease has occurred so frequently on calcareous soils that it has been called lime-induced chlorosis by many of the workers. Because the western United States has so many soils of this type, the chlorosis problem has been of primary concern. Untold economic losses have been the result of this physiological disease.
Interveinal yellowing of the leaves along with loss of plant vigor and retarded growth characterize the disease. In severe cases die-back of the terminal growth and eventual death of the plant result. No single factor has been …

Development And Evaluation Of Laboratory Methods For Determining The Nitrogen Supplying Power Of The Irrigated Soils Of Northern Utah, Jerald Ross Wight
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Nitrogen is the most widely needed and the most widely used of the fertilizer elements. Yet, in spite of the voluminous research work of evaluating the nitrogen status of soils, laboratory tests for the purpose of predicting need of nitrogen fertilizer are not very widely used. In general, laboratory tests for nitrogen supplying power have not given satisfactory results. Methods currently employed by a few laboratories can be classified either as biological or chemical. In the former method, the soil is incubated under optimum conditions and the amount of nitrate released over a given period of time is measured and …

A Manometric Method For The Determination Of Soil Carbonates In The Field, N. A. Polyzopoulos
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In soil survey work the method now generally used to evaluate the carbonate content of the soil in the field is to observe the amount of effervescence that takes place when the soil reacts with dilute acid. The four degrees of effervescence usually recognized are designated by the symbols eo, e, es, ev and correspond roughly to a lime content of 0-0.5, 0.5-3, 3-15, and above 15 per cent, respectively. This, or course, is a very rough estimate and therefore a method is needed for the quantitative determination of carbonates in the field with a fair degree of accuracy. If …

Studies On The Sampling Methodology Of Peas For Yield And Quality, Pratapsinha Chintamani Pendse
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Pea1 growers have much at stake in getting high yields of peas of prime quality. The income accruing from a pea crop grown for processors is determined by the yield as well as quality. Therefore the farmers' efforts are directed toward growing such a crop.
Research workers are interested in knowing the yield of peas with known tenderometer values which will indicate the quality of peas. Present methods of field harvesting are costly and time consuming which tend to limit the number of varieties that can be satisfactorily evaluated for trial.
A comparison of sampling techniques with present harvesting …

The Influence Of Age On The Cation Exchange Capacity Of Plant Roots, Einard S. Haniuk
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A yellowing which develops in some plants growing on naturally calcareous soils is called lime-induced chlorosis. The problem is complex, as indicated by Brown and Holmes (1956) and Porter and Thorne (1955). Species and varieties of plants differ in their iron requirements, susceptibility to lime- induced chlorosis, and inter acting soil f actors which affect iron supply (Thorne et al 1950). Chlorosis of plants does not appear, therefore, to stem from a common causative factor. At least a part of this difference has been found to be associated with the plant roots. Thus, through the use of resistant root stock …

Geology Of The Southern Part Of Wellsville Mountain, Wasatch Range, Utah, Ronald H. Gelnett
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Wellsville Mountain is 10 miles west of Logan, Utah, at the northern extremity of the Wasatch Range. Paleozoic rocks form a northeast-dipping homocline bounded in part by northwest-trending high-angle faults and cut by a series of northeast-trending high-angle faults. A major transverse fault, with a stratigraphic displacement of 4,500 feet, divides the mountain into two distinct blocks.
The rock units of the area are comparable to those of the Logan quadrangle immediately to the east. Pre-Cambrian rocks crop out in Box Elder Canyon, just east of Brigham City, and are overlain by at least 20,000 feet of northeast-dipping Paleozoic rocks …

The Peltier Effect And Its Use For Measuring Relative Activity Of Soil Water, Hans C. Korven
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Soil moisture measurement embraces two basic concepts, namely, water content and relative activity. The measurement of moisture content, either on a weight or volume basis, yields the amount or quantity of water in the soil. The measurement of relative activity or the energy required to remove unit of water is related to the availability of the soil moisture to the plant. The measurement of soil bulk density, irrigation efficiency, and the amount of water to apply in an irrigation are a few examples that require the use of the moisture content concept. Whereas the first concept determines the amount of …

Horizontal Movement Of Moisture In Soil, D. W. L. Read
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The movement of water in soils is of great importance to all of us but especially to agriculturalists. If it were not for this movement plants would not be able to survive in soil. If the moisture moves too freely in the soil insufficient water can be stored to supply plants during dry periods. The movement of water through soil may remove plant nutrients or accumulate salts in soil horizons.
The flow of water in soil has been studied extensively for many years. Water movement can occur in either saturated or unsaturated soil. Darcy's law can be used with a …

Relationship Of Bicarbonate Concentration Of Plant Tissue To That Of The Growth Media As A Factor In Chlorosis, Gary H. Carlsen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Throughout the years lime-induced chlorosis has contributed to untold economic losses. Although this disease has challenged the technical ingenuity of outstanding plant and soil scientists, the exact cause has never been determined; consequently, no preventative measures or permanent cures can, as yet, be recommended. This physiological malady, unchecked, continues its rampage in regions where the disease is prevalent.
The problem is of wide significance because calcareous soils are distributed throughout the world. It is of primary concern to us because the majority of the land of western United States is of this type. An estimated 500,000 acres of crops growing …
