Modeling Groundwater and Crop Production in the U.S. High Plains

Groundwater depletion and sustainability of irrigation in the US High Plains and Central Valley.

Aquifer overexploitation could significantly impact crop production in the United States because 60% of irrigation relies on groundwater. Groundwater depletion in the irrigated High Plains and California Central Valley accounts for ~50% of groundwater depletion in the United States since 1900. A newly developed High Plains recharge map shows that high recharge in the northern High Plains result...

Adaptability of irrigated spring canola oil production to the US High Plains

Canola oil is high in oleic acid which is commonly used for food and industrial purposes. To determine adaptability of spring canola (Brassica napus L.) to the High Plains for industrial oil production, 26 irrigated trials were conducted from 2005 to 2008. Trials were divided into five regions—1: 36–37◦N 108◦W; 2: 39–40◦N 101–103◦W; 3: 41–42◦N 102–103◦W; 4: 41–42◦N 104◦W; 5: 43–44◦N 106–108◦W. ...

the effects of high non fibrous carbohydrates diet on milk production, inflammation and molecular mechanism of innate immunity in lactating dairy cows

پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی اثر جیره حاوی کربوهیدراتهای غیرالیافی زیاد و بروز التهاب در گاوهای شیرده در دو آزمایش جداگانه انجام شد. در آزمایش اول 20 رأس گاو مبتلا به ورم پستان از دو گروه کم تولید و پرتولید (هر کدام 10 رأس) و 20 رأس گاو سالم از دو گروه کم تولید و پرتولید (هر کدام 10 رأس) انتخاب شدند. همه گاوها در دوره دوم و یا سوم شیردهی و در روزهای 80-120 پس از زایش بودند. میانگین تولید شیر در گروه...
