All experiments are statistically designed so that the ldquorealrdquo yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by
chance LSD (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this
purpose When comparing the yield of another variety the yield
difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be
considered a ldquorealrdquo difference It is advisable to use multi-year
averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

All experiments are statistically designed so that the ldquorealrdquo yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by
chance LSD (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this
purpose When comparing the yield of another variety the yield
difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be
considered a ldquorealrdquo difference It is advisable to use multi-year
averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

All experiments are statistically designed so that the ldquorealrdquo yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by
chance LSD (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this
purpose When comparing the yield of another variety the yield
difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be
considered a ldquorealrdquo difference It is advisable to use multi-year
averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

All experiments are statistically designed so that the ldquorealrdquo yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by
chance LSD (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this
purpose When comparing the yield of another variety the yield
difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be
considered a ldquorealrdquo difference It is advisable to use multi-year
averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

All experiments are statistically designed so that the ldquorealrdquo yield
differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by
chance LSD (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this
purpose When comparing the yield of another variety the yield
difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be
considered a ldquorealrdquo difference It is advisable to use multi-year
averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

sup1 Brix and pH measured at harvest sup2 RU = Brix pHsup2 ( target for white grapes = 200 for red grapes = 260)
These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

A ten-year field study was initiated in 2006 to evaluate ten entries of perennial grasses and mixtures in two harvest scenarios (annual and biennial) The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with 4 replications The plots were seeded at five locations in NDSU Research Extension Centers across central and western North Dakota Among the five locations long term growing season precipitation varies from 125 at Williston to 17 at Carrington However the variation of mean temperature is small across locations from west to east At the Williston location the plots were seeded and managed under both dryland and irrigated conditions The plots at the other four locations were managed under dryland condition In total the grassesmixtures were grown in six environments Acknowledgements This research is supported in part by grants from ND Natural Resources Trust ND Game amp Fish Department ND Farmers Union JamestownStutsman Development Corporation Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) ND Commerce Department Dakota Prairie RCampD Dakota West RCampD Ducks Unlimited USDA Renewable Energy amp Products and ND Ag Products Utilization Commission

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Removing hulls from normal hulled feed and malt barley lines did not reduce starch yield per acre About 102 of grain yield was lost to dehulling but percent starch of the dehulled material was almost 6 greater Dehulling did not remove starch

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems for some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (a part of the World Health Organization) is 02 ppm and the European Union has adopted this level of Cd as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana Cadmium levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm Soil characters affect the amount of Cd taken up by durum Additionally genetics play a role in accumulation of Cd in the grain Most durum genotypes grown in Montana accumulate Cd in the grain A low Cd-accumulation trait does exist in durum and is caused by a single dominant gene
Europeans have traditionally purchased durum from the desert Southwest
That area is no longer a reliable source of durum because of urban sprawl and decreasing water availability Additionally southwest durum often has a high amount of cadmium European durum buyers are looking for another source of high quality durum with low Cd levels Montana and North Dakota produce high quality durum and may fill the market required by European durum buyers Because of the European Unionrsquos restriction on Cd levels in imported durum incorporating the low Cd-accumulating character has become a top priority One Canadian variety has been identified as having low Cd accumulation Several dozen lines from the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) program were evaluated for Cd accumulation and quality A total of 11 lines with low Cd accumulation and good quality were identified Emasculated crosses were made using high quality lines as female parents and low Cd-accumulation lines as male parents in 2007 Currently we have 83 low-Cd F6 lines growing in the greenhouse These will be selected next year for yield evaluations in the following year
Eighty-four solid-stemmed lines from the World Collection were identified in
2004 and crossed onto a male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population in 2005 to develop a solid-stemmed population This solid-stemmed population has been continued and maintained using solid stemmed high quality and low Cd-accumulating lines as male parents Plants were selected from the F2 population based on stem-solidness and other agronomic characters We currently have 35 F7 solid-stemmed lines that will be evaluated for yield in 2011

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Rep 2 did not have any plants growing in it Hops -- Four rhizomes each of five cultivars of hops Cascade Centennial Chinook Glacier and
Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal that may cause health problems in some people Diet is the main source of Cd for nonsmokers with cereal products including durum accounting for up to 20 of the daily intake of Cd by adults The current official standard for maximum level of Cd in durum wheat grain as stated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is 02 ppm (2) and the European Union has adopted this level as the maximum allowed in domestic and imported durum Other durum buyers may also adopt this maximum level
Cadmium levels were screened in durum grain samples from plots grown across Montana in 2005 Sites included research centers and several off-station sites in eastern Montana The Cd levels ranged from 0055 ppm to 0259 ppm
Cadmium is found naturally in some soils Soil characteristics such as pH and chloride content affect Cd uptake A greenhouse study conducted in Saskatchewan reported that zinc (Zn) applied to soil prior to planting significantly reduced Cd in durum plant tissue while Zn applied foliarly at the four-leaf stage or at flowering had no effect on grain Cd concentration The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of Zn to reduce cadmium accumulation in durum grain in the field
Two experimental sites at the Eastern Agricultural Research Center were used one on the dryland farm and one on the irrigated farm Nitrogen and phosphorus were uniformly broadcast at rates determined by soil tests Two varieties of durum were used one that accumulates Cd in the grain (Alzada) and one that does not (Strongfield)
Treatments were 1) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac 2) Zn applied with the seed in the form of zinc sulfate at a rate of 1 lb Znac plus Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage as chelated Zn at a rate of 1 galac (097 lb Znacre) and 3) no applied Zn The chelated zinc was EDTA 9 chelated zinc
Data were analyzed across the three years for each site The zinc treatments had no effect on grain yield test weight or grain protein content on either the dryland or irrigated sites Zinc applied with the seed had no effect on grain cadmium or zinc content Chelated Zn applied foliarly at the boot stage reduced grain cadmium content by about 25 at the dryland site and by about 13 at the irrigated site Grain cadmium content was reduced similarly in both varieties The Cd level dropped from above the 02 ppm limit to below that limit on the dryland site
Grain yields test weights grain protein grain cadmium and grain zinc content of durum grown at the dryland and irrigated sites and averaged across three years (2007-2009)

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Irrigation Research at Nesson Valley 2010
Tyler Tjelde1
Greetings well another growing season has seemed to fly by but one that didnrsquot go unnoticed I believe this could be my eulogy referencing Nesson Valley for years to come This would be obvious to most people but in three years I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things that you absolutely cannot control and Mother Nature and research well they donrsquot always co-exist It only took an MS in Agronomy to figure that out Overall it was a very productive year and each year I get more excited for the next The Nesson Valley project continues to expand as we are in the process of converting the third linear to an automated Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) system Developing this linear system will give us another 35 irrigated acres to expand our research at the Nesson site from 70 acres to 105 acres and allow us to conduct irrigated research on each of the three linear systems every year For those not familiar with the VRI system I will explain briefly The VRI system divides the linear into 22 separate controlled banks (every 50 feet) Each bank can apply a different rate of water as the linear moves across the field allowing for a multitude of cropping systems Without this the linear system would only be able to apply one rate over the entire field Again last year we had up to twelve different crops under one linear In 2010 we were excited to have the opportunity to use both water sources (surface and ground) and have set up an experiment on approximately 15 acres comparing both sources This is one area of research that has not seen a lot of work over the years This long-term project is very dependent on the lake level maintaining a level that we can pump from We would like to look at each water source and what if any are the effects on soil properties and are there any production altercations that could alter plant growth Water is an important resource for high value crops in the MonDak region Although it may not be a limiting resource for production in all regions of the state it is vital to the MonDak region In the past producers viewed irrigation as an abundant supplement water source with little incentive to conserve it Now with water shortages becoming a concern in many parts of the country there is an increase in awareness among producers to integrate more efficient irrigation practices into their farming systems to optimize production while sustaining water resources At the Nesson Valley Research project we are looking at this not only in sugarbeet production but in wheat barley lentil and potato In the future we would like to look at additional crops Our vision at the Nesson Valley site is to further advance irrigation practices improve crop production within an irrigated system and develop alternative cropping systems to improve water nutrient and pest management I encourage producers to contact me if you have any questions on what we are currently researching I would also encourage anyone to share any ideas they may have for irrigated research so we can advance agronomic productivity for this region Our goal is to improve production for you The date for the 2011 Nesson Valley field tour is set for July 28th 2011 Look forward to seeing you there

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Objectives This project examines the interaction between tillage systems and soil quality and the interaction between crop production and tillage to better understand the benefits of overhead irrigation on production and tillage Questions that we hope to answer include how tillage is going to affect the quality of our soil and will this soil quality affect crop production when irrigation is involved What are the benefits of selecting the proper tillage to match the specific crop With things constantly changing how can the interrelationships between crop rotationproduction and tillage systems be defined
Methods Plots strips were 50 feet by 200 feet and replicated four times in a split block design Fertilizer was spring-applied at recommended rates determined by soil testing Weeds were managed with herbicides to minimize their impact on production Percent residue cover soil temperature stand counts grain yield proteins and test weights were measured Tillage was done in the spring Conventional tillage consisted of multiple passes with a disc and cultivators resulting in lt30 residue left Minimum tillage varied based on previous crop Corn residue was aggressively disked (5mph) cutting at a depth of 4 inches while still maintaining gt30 residue cover Barley residue was also disked but ground speed and depth were reduced to maintain the gt 30 residue cover A field cultivator was used to till the soil in soybean residue leaving most of the residue on the soil surface Only trash wipers (residue managers) were used in the no till system to move residue from seed row

Objectives The objectives of this project are to investigate different irrigation rates in sugarbeet production to improve water use efficiency determine critical stages of water use in sugarbeet production and refine
irrigation scheduling recommendations Methods The experimental design is a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications Each plot will be 50 ft by 60 ft with watering rates randomized for each plot The treatments consist of four irrigation rates (100 66 33 0) and two sugarbeet varieties Crop water use determined by using the North Dakota Ag Weather Network (NDAWN) and neutron probe moisture sensors The irrigation rates determined using an irrigation scheduler (httpndawnndsunodakedu) This checkbook system uses soil properties (texture thickness of soil layers and water holding capacity of each layer) weather parameters (average daily air temperature daily solar radiation date and amount of rain) crop properties (root depth water use based on growth stage planting date and emergence date) and irrigation information (rate applied) Neutron probe access tubes will be located within each plot and a neutron probe moisture meter used once a week to reflect moisture deficiency within the checkbook system All cultural practices (tillage fertilizer planting populations chemical and fungicide applications) will be the same for the sugarbeet varieties to minimize the effects of variables other than water usage
Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Results Variety A and B were planted 10 May 2010 The emergence date for both varieties was 19 May 2010 The first irrigation occurred on 14 May 2010 (this was a pre-emergence irrigation with all plots receiving 70 inches) with the final irrigation 3 September 2010 There were a total of 19 irrigations from 14 May ndash 3 September Rainfall amounts were recorded from 01 May ndash 01 October and were above normal The growing season temperatures were average for the 2010 growing season The irrigation rates of 100 66 33 and 0 from 14 May ndash 3 September resulted in 114 75 38 and 07 inches of water applied respectively Throughout the growing season the neutron probe readings of top two feet were taken weekly from the different water treatments The graph shows the variation in soil moisture readings between the four treatments Samples were harvested on 21 September 2010 Sugarbeets from ten feet of row were hand harvested and the numbers of beets were counted These stands (beets10ft) were used for tallying final plant populations These samples were analyzed at the Sidney Sugars factory laboratory Tons per acre sugar and nitrate percentages were analyzed from these treatments The results for 2010 show that there were no significant differences between watering treatments and sugarbeet yield The only significant difference that was recognized this season was percent sugar These results were tested using Analysis of Variance at the alpha 005 level

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

These cultivars had very few grapes so no Brix or pH was done for them
The St Croix in the depth of planting trial survived the winter grew rampantly and set a promising load of fruit The three year old Edelweiss vines also set some fruit and we were able to sample some of it before the raccoons found them Between the raccoons and the hail both the depth of planting and the irrigation trial were wiped out
Raspberries -- The raspberries did not produce enough berries to record yield data in 2010

plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

After reading last yearrsquos update I thought many things changed during the 2010 crop year The weather this year went from cool and wet in the spring to warm and still wet conditions during the summer making for crop disease conditions to develop in the region Many areas in the region received over 20 inches of moisture A key component of this position is working with the Research Centers in both Williston and Sidney MT to relay research results to producers and determine the feasibility of different crops and their compatibility in a crop rotation Both research centers are moving forward in expanding their facilities to better serve our clientele and develop future research that will improve crop production in the region The irrigation research at Nesson Valley has drastically improved over the last couple of years and now producers need to take advantage of that research Here is a summary of some of the projects I have assisted with this past year
CROPS ndash What a difficult growing season for producers in the region ndash frost cool weather wet conditions throughout the growing season and hail to name a few As a result many producers saw record yields but I suspect we lost somewhere between 5 ndash 10 bushels per acre with many of the crops due to the disease conditions that developed during growing season Pulse crops continue to become stronger in appearance in the region with again lentil acres seeing the biggest growth in acres Quality concerns during harvest brought discounts to rear its ugly head making a dismal situation worse because of already low commodity prices at the start of harvest Prices have rebounded but many of us do not have the quality to take advantage of the premium side of the markets For the producers utilizing irrigation I have been impressed on all the different crops being produced This fall roughly 30 new pivots are being constructed in the Mondak region I receive many calls on if pulse crops and different oilseed crops will perform well under irrigation Overall we are still in the learning stage of that question Pulse and oilseed crops will work but we need to better manage the rotation of those crops and scout the fields more frequently to stay on top of potential disease pressure Tools are available on the NDSU website to evaluate these conditions For example the NDAWN weather system website allows producers to check weather conditions across the state and determine the risk of disease pressure on crops On the dry land side pulse crop acres expanded dramatically In MT lentil acres doubled from 118000 acres to over 250000 acres There is still much discussion with cover crops I worked with Keith Brown Divide County Extension Agent and Jim Hennessy Mountrail County Extension Agent on putting together cover crop plots to explore and demonstrate to producers
the possible opportunities with cover crops Fall seeded cover crops are very marginal in production but springsummer seeded cover crops yield many benefits Corn acres continue to expand WREC - Neil and I receive many calls asking which variety in durum spring wheat and barley do well in this region That is a difficult question to answer because so many factors come into play when selecting a variety ndash soils and moisture conditions seem to be the most important Two years ago I decided to take the off-station data for the different crops and varieties along with the Williston data to develop information that would assist a producer in making variety selections First I ranked the varieties (1 2 3 etc) based how on their 3-year average yield or try to fit that variety in the ranking if it only had one or two years of data Second I show the 3- year average yields for the different varieties Each of the tables then have overall averages both in ranking and yield so that one can see how that particular variety stood up among the rest of the varieties You will find it on the Williston RE Center website - httpwwwagndsueduWillistonREC Acreages of several crops in the Mondak region can also be found on the website PROJECTS ndash The Mondak Energy Alliance that was created last year made a huge stride this past year We were able to meet with the Governors of North Dakota and Montana concerning the new oil pipeline that will be constructed through Montana The governor of Montana has worked with the company constructing the pipeline to include a branch pipeline that will come east to connect into a possible refinery here or transload into the pipeline Many projects are still on the blackboard including an ethanol plant diesel topping plant oil refinery coal to liquid plant biodiesel plant and a potato plant

The 2010 growing season was cool cloudy and damp May and June had 30 days of rain events with 10 days of significant rainfall Over the 5 month growing season from May 1 to September 30 we received 1244 inches of rain compared to a normal of 1045 inches There were no days of 100o F or more and only 9 days when the recorded maximum temperature reached 90o F or more On July 29 we had a thunderstorm that included 123 inches of rain and wind gusts in excess of 50 mph and on August 1 we had another storm that brought another 108 inches of rain wind gusts over 60 mph and quarter size hail Our last frost date was May 10 with a low temperature of 31o F and the first killing frost in September was on the 18th with a low of 27o F
Grapes -- Grapes were fertilized with ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) fertilizer on April 22 2010 at a rate of
about 60 lb N per acre Petiole samples showed lower N content than last year but still improved from 2008 Soil samples showed N levels still much lower than optimum Growth of the vines still seemed to be far more dependent on water availability and weed control than on available N All varieties except GR7 and Elvira had survived the winter and were alive in the spring of 2010 Pruning started the last week of April and continued as weather permitted through May Due to the August 1 hail event much of this yearrsquos crop was destroyed Because the summer was cooler than normal and frost came September 18 there were just not enough heat units to ripen the grapes We left them on the vines until early to mid-October hoping to make ice wine but they began to shatter before they could concentrate the sugars enough We picked the last variety on October 14 Our first snowfall occurred on October 26

Willamette were planted in 2009 and in 2010 all had survived the winter with the help of a layer of straw mulch They all produced hops that were harvested in mid-September The flowers were then dried in a dryer oven placed in plastic bags and stored in a freezer
Tomato Demonstration -- We planted 66 Celebrity tomato plants and mulched them with 10 different
types of mulch from plastics to natural materials leaving one set of 6 with no mulch treatment as a control We treated them all the same after that with drip irrigation and a small amount of liquid fertilizer The whole planting was badly damaged by hail on August 1 but we were still able to harvest a small number of tomatoes from each plot The mulch that produced the healthiest tomato plants and the most fruit was a thick layer of grass clippings The tomatoes that looked the worst and produced the least fruit were mulched with pine needles straw or woos chips

Strawberries -- This year we covered the strawberries ndash first with floating row covers then with bird
netting and surrounded the bed with rabbit fence We started picking June 24 and ended July 26 Cavendish yielded the most berries and was rated the highest by our taste testers

AAS Flowers -- Our first year as an official All America Selections Display Garden was a success The
plants had a slow start in the cool cloudy early summer but had filled in and were in full bloom when the hailstorm struck They looked quite shattered after that but all recovered and bloomed nicely until our first frost
Extension Vegetable Program -- We took part in the NDSU Extension garden research project and
enjoyed taste testing and rating the many vegetable varieties that were supplied to us by Extension Horticulturist Tom Kalb We tested several varieties of beans carrots cucumbers mizuna kohlrabi lettuce melons cantaloupe spinach squash and watermelon The results of the home garden vegetable trials will be available at the following web site wwwdakotagardenercomtrialsindexhtml
Sweet Potatoes -- Sweet potato varieties Beauregard Georgia Jet OrsquoHenry Centennial and
Vardaman were planted on June 1 at Nesson Valley under sprinkler irrigation in a randomized complete block design They were harvested September 17 just before our first killing frost The roots were cured and then graded for size Beauregard produced the most quantity of roots but the only variety that met the sizing criteria for fries was Georgia Jet
