Determining the Feasibility of Utilizing Recycled Household Wastewater from Aerobic Treatment Systems for Cattle Watering
Oden, Laree Christine (2015-08-01)Alternative sources of water for the purpose of non-human (direct) consumption are needed to mitigate the effects of drought and increasing water resource use and depletion within the United States. Emerging ideas that are ... -
Evaluating and developing water intake prediction equations for growing and finishing feedlot steers
Meador, Heather Nicole (2019-12)A study was conducted to evaluate 8 published water intake (WI, L/d) equations. Individual WI and DMI were collected on growing (GRW; n = 243) and finishing (FIN; n = 46) feedlot steers using an Insentec Roughage Intake ... -
Influence of dual top-dress nitrogen applications on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield
Carpenter, Jonathan Tyler (2021-05)Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) is commonly grown throughout Oklahoma and is notably the state's top cash crop. Nitrogen (N) is one of the most heavily applied nutrients in wheat by producers across the state as it is ... -
Mid-season Prediction of Wheat Grain Yield Potential and Nitrogen Response
Golden, Melissa Rae (2016-12-01)Soil nutrient management has made significant advances in efficiency, especially with nitrogen (N) fertilization. Nonetheless, there is still room for improvement surrounding mid-season prediction of grain yield and ensuing ... -
Modeling soil treatment area requirements for conventional septic systems across a climate gradient
Maples, Joshua A. (2019-12)Roughly 19% of homes in the U.S. use onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) for the treatment and dispersal of domestic wastewater. In Oklahoma, upwards of 40% of single-family homes rely on OWTS for effluent removal. ... -
Optimum nitrogen rate and placement in hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L)
Benzing, Austin Timothy (2021-05)Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in cereal crops is at 33% on a global scale. Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the major cereal crops being affected by low NUE. Winter wheat is grown across the United States and the ... -
Upscaling soil moisture measurements from in situ sensors
Brown, William Gerald, Jr. (2021-07)Accurate, field-scale soil moisture information is needed to match the spatial scale of land and water management decisions related to agricultural production and environmental protection. Soil moisture measurements at the ...
