Record 1 2016-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant Diseases
CONT

Lesser Cornstalk Borer-This insect damages corn by boring into the plant at the base of the stem. This boring causes "deadheart" and may greatly reduce stands. Deadheart occurs when the terminal(central) growth point of the plant is destroyed, causing withering and turning yellow. Plants with a deadheart are stunted and do not produce harvestable ears.

Record 3 2012-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Until the 1920s, there was as much white corn grown in the United States as yellow corn. Americans preferred white corn in food products, while yellow corn was reserved for animal feed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
CONT

Le maïs blanc représente 5,1 % des superficies totales de maïs cultivées aux États-Unis. La firme Novartis travaille actuellement au développement et à l'homologation de variétés de maïs blanc mieux adaptées aux conditions du Québec, tout en tenant compte de la couleur, du goût et de la texture.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cultivo de cereales
CONT

Se estima que la producción mundial de maíz blanco llega a unos 65-70 millones de toneladas, cantidad relativamente pequeña en comparación con la producción anual de alrededor de 500 millones de toneladas de maíz amarillo. Sin embargo, el maíz blanco se cultiva casi exclusivamente para el consumo humano [...] El volumen de maíz blanco comercializado en el plano internacional, estimado en un promedio de 1,5-2,0 millones de toneladas anuales, resulta insignificante en comparación con los embarques de maíz amarillo, que promedian unos 60 millones de toneladas en los últimos años, principalmente destinados a alimentar a los animales.

CONT

A simple dehulling procedure for assessing dehulling quality in a flaxseed breeding program has been developed using the tangential abrasive dehulling device.

CONT

The potential for near-infrared(NIR) reflectance spectroscopy to predict corn dry-milling quality has been investigated. NIR spectra were obtained from samples of whole-kernel yellow dent corn. Dry-milling quality of the samples was evaluated with a Tangential Abrasive Dehulling Device(TADD), and by a short-flow laboratory milling procedure that allowed calculation of a milling evaluation factor(MEF).(Data Base).
