    Pascini, Tales Vicari; Ramalho-Ortigão, Marcelo; Martins, Gustavo Ferreira (2012)
    The vectorial capacity of Aedes aegypti is directly influenced by its high reproductive output. Nevertheless, females are restricted to a single mating event, sufficient to acquire enough sperm to fertilize a lifetime ...
  • The most efficient level of wineter protein feeding for yearling steers wintered and summer grazed on bluestem pasture.
    Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F.; Holland, L.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1953)
    Twenty head of good quality Hereford yearling steers, 10 head to a lot, were used in this study. They originated in southeastern Colorado and were purchased as calves in the fall of 1951 for 42 cents a pound. They were ...
  • The most efficient level of winter protein feeding for yearling steers wintered and summer grazed on bluestem pasture.
    Smith, E.F.; Baker, F.H.; Cox, R.F.; Holland, L.A (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954)
    Yearling steers have been successfully wintered at this station on dry bluestem pasture for the past five winters by feeding 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of cottonseed or soybean oilmeal per head daily. The objective of this test ...
  • The most efficient level of winter protein feeding for yearling steers wintered and summer grazed on bluestem pasture.
    Smith, E.F.; Baker, F.H.; Cox, R.F.; Holland, L.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1955)
    Twenty head of good-quality Hereford yearling steers, 10 per lot. were used. They were purchased as steer calves in the fall of 1953 from the Brite Ranch at Marfa, Texas, and used in summer grazing tests on bluestem ...
  • The most efficient level of winter protein feeding for yearling steers wintered and summer razed on bluestem pasture.
    Smith, E.F.; Baker, F.H.; Cox, R.F.; Holland, L.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954)
    Twenty head of good quality Hereford yearling steers were used in this study. They were purchased from the Brite Ranch at Marfa, Texas, in the fall of 1952 as calves for 28 cents a pound. They were used in summer grazing ...
  • Motivation factors for beef processor-producer linkages
    Schroeder, T.C.; Lawrence, J.D.; Hayenga, M.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2001)
    A survey was conducted of the 15 largest beef processors to identify the mix of procurement practices being used and to understand reasons motivating recent processorproducer linkages. Processors are shifting away ...
  • Mowing and drought effects on a hybrid bluegrass compared with a Kentucky bluegrass
    Su, Kemin; Bremer, Dale J.; Keeley, Steven J.; Fry, Jack D. (2009)
    Hybrid bluegrasses (HBG) resemble Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)(KBG) but HBG may have greater heat and drought tolerance. Little is known about the performance of HBG under low mowing heights and during drought. A ...
