ID-177: Comparing No-Till and Tilled Wheat in Kentucky
Dottie Call, Larry Grabau, John Grove, Jim Herbek, Don Hershman, John James, Doug Johnson, Jim Martin, Lloyd Murdock, Dave Sanford | Aug. 26, 2009 (New)
Historically, wheat planting in Kentucky has involved tillage. With conventional tillage practices, most residues from the previous crop are cut and buried prior to seeding wheat. No-till wheat planting eliminates tillage and reduces soil erosion, particularly on sloping soils, as well as reducing labor, machinery, and energy costs.
PR-586: 2009 Kentucky Small Grains Variety Performance Test
Bill Bruening, John Connelly, Gene Olson, Sandy Swanson, Charles Tutt, Dave Sanford | Jul. 10, 2009 (New)
The objective of the Kentucky small grain variety performance test is to evaluate varieties of wheat and barley that are commercially available or may soon be available to Kentucky farmers. New varieties are continually being developed by agricultural experiment stations and commercial firms.
PR-585: 2008 Summer Annual Grass Report
Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Ray Smith | Apr. 22, 2009 (New)
Summer annual grasses provide an important forage crop option for producers in Kentucky. These grasses are mainly used as emergency or supplemental hay and pasture crops, but little information is available on their yield potential. The purpose of this publication is to summarize the University of Kentucky 2008 forage yield trials with sudangrass, sorghum/sudangrass, millets, and teff.
AGR-26: Renovating Hay and Pasture Fields
Garry Lacefield, Ray Smith | Apr. 8, 2009 (Minor Revision)
AGR-145: Warm Season Perennial Grasses for Forages in Kentucky
Tom Keene, Garry Lacefield, Ray Smith | Mar. 10, 2009 (Minor Revision)
Native warm-season perennial grasses are well adapted for production in Kentucky's climate and soils. In this publication, native warm-season perennial grasses that have the greatest forage potential for Kentucky are described. Management techniques necessary to establish stands and keep them productive are also discussed.
PPFS-AG-F-3: Common Alfalfa Seedling Diseases and Disorders
Ray Smith, Paul Vincelli | Mar. 1, 2009 (Minor Revision)
Alfalfa seedlings are subject to a number of biotic and abiotic problems which can affect establishment. Several of the more common seedling diseases and disorders are described below. This information is being provided as a diagnostic aid; publications which provide specific management and production information can be found in the resource list.
PPFS-AG-F-4: "Emergency" Inoculation for Poorly Inoculated Legumes
Garry Lacefield, Ray Smith, Paul Vincelli | Feb. 1, 2009 (Minor Revision)
Frequently, stunted and yellowed legumes are thought by growers to be diseased. Close examination often reveals that such "diseased" plants are actually just poorly nodulated.

PR-575: 2008 Timothy and Kentucky Bluegrass Report
