We are currently involved in
the following research areas:
- Sustainable Crop Livestock Systems in the
Texas High Plains
- Develop environmentally sustainable and economically feasible crop and
livestock systems that will assure the viability of agricultural activities
in the Texas High Plains.
-
- Sustainable Crop Livestock Systems in the
Texas High Plains - Outreach Component
- Examine and explore the farming systems of the Texas High Plains,
adoption of new technologies, and how best to market such new techniques.
-
- Influence of clipping and grazing on growth,
quality, mineral cycling, soil characteristics and profitability of WW-B.
Dahl old world bluestem in Sustainable Systems
-
Define a forage livestock system in the Southern Plains, using
'WW-B. Dahl' as the forage component because of its recognized value as
forage and its extremely important seed production and commercialization.
-
- Evaluating Agricultural Phosphorus in
Various Sustainable Cropping Systems
- Evaluate changes in soil P concentrations in integrated crop and
livestock production systems.
-
- Potential of Old World Bluestems and
Lovegrass for Grazing Lambs in the Southern High Plains
-
Determine the potential of introduced warm-season grasses (WW-B.
Dahl, WW Spar, WW Iron Master, Caucasian, Plains and Ermello Weeping
lovegrass) grown under supplemental drip irrigation in the Southern High
Plains.
-
- Water Use of Three Old World Bluestems
-
Determine forage growth and nutrient yield per unit of added water
(water use efficiency) for three warm-season perennial grasses in the
Southern High Plains.
-
- Adaptation of Bermudagrass to the Texas
High Plains
- Focuses on the issues of water use and quality, forages suited for
limited water situations and their relationship with sustainable agriculture
on the Southern High Plains of Texas.
-
- Perennial Warm & Cool Season Grasses for
Forage Production on the High Plains
- Determine stress tolerance, growth patterns, biomass production,
persistence, and correct grazing management for specific perennial warm and cool
season grasses.
-
-
Influence of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on Growth
and Quality of Forage Sorghum Grown under Saline Conditions
-
Determine effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus additions on growth and
nutritive value of
- forage
sorghum grown under saline conditions in a greenhouse.
-
- Use of Seaweed in Improving
Various Aspects of Plant and Animal Characteristics
- Completed research summaries of research conducted using the seaweed
product TascoTM.
