Agronomy: Crop Scouting
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

One in four jobs in Nebraska are related to agriculture. With one of our main industries being agronomic crops, crop scouting is important to learn. This lesson will test the students' knowledge of all things pests and challenge them to identify the problem in a field.

Agronomy- Plant Pests (Insects)
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

There are over one million species of insects in the world. Although we feel like we see millions of insects in one day in the summer, there are only 1,000 major insect species that are pests to crops. This lesson will teach students about the taxonomy of insects and have them investigate some of the biggest threats in our area.

Building a better plant: Increasing nitrogen efficiency of tropical maize using multi-trait genomic prediction and selection
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Tropical maize hybrid, a single cross of flint and dent inbred lines, is an important crop throughout the Americas and Africa. Crop yield, however, is highly dependent on nitrogen availability, and fertilizers are therefore often necessary to increase production. Developing more nitrogen-efficient maize would not only cut costs for farmers, it would also increase crop yield and reduce environmental impacts. But how do you make a plant more nitrogen efficient? The performance and production of crops can be improved by selectively crossing individuals with desired traits. When such plants are crossed, they produce hybrids that are often bigger, stronger, and more vigorous than either of the parent plants. By carefully choosing which individuals are used in creating these hybrids, specific traits, such as nitrogen efficiency, can be selected for..."

CTE Agribusiness & Food Products and Processes: Corn & Oats
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This task was developed by high school and postsecondary mathematics and agriculture sciences educators, and validated by content experts in the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and the National Career Clusters Knowledge & Skills Statements. It was developed with the purpose of demonstrating how the Common Core and CTE Knowledge & Skills Statements can be integrated into classroom learning - and to provide classroom teachers with a truly authentic task for either mathematics or CTE courses.

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"With the world’s population expected to grow to over 9 billion by 2050, food is a major concern. Much of our increased food needs could be met by improving the yield of agricultural crops. A recent study examined one aspect of plant health: the plant microbiome, which plays a critical role in host health and productivity. Researchers focused on oilseed rape (OSR), the third most cultivated crop in the UK and a major source of vegetable oil. Field experiments have indicated that OSR yield declines proportionally with how often it is grown in rotation and while this has been associated with changes to the rhizosphere microbiome, it is unknown which microbes negatively affect plant yield. Comparing rhizosphere soil and bulk soil samples from 37 farms across the UK, they found that protists, bacteria, and fungi were influenced differently. Fungi were more widely influenced by the rotation frequency, but specific bacteria and protist species were also affected..."
