Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the exciting field of corn breeding, delving into the fascinating ways in which corn can be modified through selective breeding practices. The author, a leading expert in the field, has conducted meticulous experiments to demonstrate how specific physical characteristics of the corn plant can be influenced and altered over generations. The book provides a detailed account of the author's experiments, which focused on modifying the height at which ears grow on the stalk and the angle at which they hang. Through careful selection and breeding, the author successfully created two distinct strains of corn: one with ears positioned high on the stalk and the other with ears that gracefully decline. These experiments not only illustrate the power of selective breeding but also shed light on the underlying genetic mechanisms that control these traits. Beyond the scientific implications, the book also explores the practical considerations and potential applications of these breeding techniques. The author discusses the advantages and disadvantages of high and low ear placement, as well as the role of ear angle in protecting the corn from weather damage and facilitating harvesting. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science and practice of corn breeding, providing a unique perspective on the remarkable possibilities of manipulating plant traits through selective breeding. It offers a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of plant development and the potential for improving crop yields and quality through targeted breeding programs.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 10 scientific experiments and studies carried out by The University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station and published between 1913 and the 1920s. The investigations cover a wide range of topics, spanning cattle feeding and breeding, corn and soybean crop management, plant diseases, soil management strategies, and dairy production. Each study provides valuable insights into agricultural practices and scientific advancements during that era. Together, these experiments contribute to our understanding of agricultural science and its practical applications in the early 20th century.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces new methods developed for breeding corn, enriching the historical quest for improving this essential crop. The text begins by immersing readers in the early experiments with corn breeding, highlighting that despite the extensive work, no consistently effective methods had been discovered before the author's research. The author describes the techniques and reasonings behind his experiments, which led to transforming methods of corn breeding. Following the first chapter, the book provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to improve yields and protein or oil content, as desired by the breeder. Critically, the author shares findings from three years of his experiments, demonstrating the efficacy of the outlined methods. Delving into the broader thematic significance, this book is essential reading for breeders and farmers invested in corn production, and anyone interested in the history of agriculture. It's a must-have addition to any collection on agricultural science.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book profoundly explores the historical development of Wabash County soils, offering detailed descriptions of the 35 different soil types found within the region. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the geological and climatic factors that have shaped the composition of these soils over time, examining the influence of loess deposition, weathering processes, and the impact of vegetation on soil formation. The book's detailed analysis of each soil type's characteristics, including its texture, drainage, and chemical composition, provides valuable insights into their suitability for different agricultural practices. The author also discusses the challenges posed by soil erosion and offers practical management recommendations to preserve soil health and productivity. Through its rigorous scientific inquiry and practical applications, this book serves as an invaluable resource for farmers, landowners, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate relationship between soil and agriculture in Wabash County.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents original research into the chemical composition of corn, undertaken to improve the nutritional and industrial value of the crop. The author's experiments, beginning in 1896, document ten generations of corn breeding, altering the protein and oil content with remarkable precision. Throughout the 20th century, corn has been a mainstay of the American diet. The author's contribution to corn breeding helped answer the question of whether we could cultivate corn with a specific chemical makeup, paving the way for the hybridization so common today. This book shares the insights gained over decades of scientific research in the field. It follows the incremental progress of controlled breeding, providing a close-up view of the scientific method in agriculture.
