Texcoco, Mexico

Teresa has graduated and is working on a Post Doc with the Texas Tech Agriculture and Applied Economics Department

Specific Objectives:

bulletDetermine effects of grazing steers on soil properties (compaction, pH and fertility), forage production (growth, regrowth, percentage of ground cover, seed production, and quality) and the pasture (botanical composition) when grazing WW-B. Dahl continuously until June or July compared with no grazing.
bulletDetermine the effects of grazing vs. no grazing of Rye and Wheat on soil compaction, pH and fertility.
bulletDetermine effects of defoliation time on WW-B. Dahl growth, regrowth, percentage of ground cover, seed production, quality and botanical composition.
bulletEstimate the economic profitability of WW-B. Dahl grazed by steers or harvested for hay and seed production.
