I would like to introduce the new research and demonstration projects that will be started in 2003. Since there are 11 new projects this year, I will have to report on these over the next several articles, starting with those that began this spring.

It depends, but in most situations with white-tailed deer, the answer is no. Here's why.

In the mid-1990s, a program was started at the Noble Research Institute to develop a cool-season perennial grass. Now, more than a decade later, the Noble Research Institute is close to achieving this long-sought goal. Perhaps ironically, the candidate grass was found on one of the Noble Research Institute's own farms.

For decades, scientists have used molecular markers for research and breeding purposes to increase yields and water and nutrient efficiencies as well as disease and insect resistance in agricultural crops. Recently, pecan scientists have looked at the development of new technologies used in this research and considered its use in pecan breeding and research.

New tools will provide producers with consistent data and information to make effective decisions quicker.

If you ever meet Natalie Kirkwyland, you're going to feel better about life. Natalie's a living Roman candle, a pop of iridescent hope in an often bleak world.

For the past 12 years, Trammell has served as a plant breeder for the Noble Research Institute, learning from some of the industry's most renowned breeders and continuing a tradition that stretches back to the earliest years of the organization.

Proper fertilization can decrease stress and improve the health and development of trees. Annual application of nitrogen and adequate levels of phosphorus have been shown to help reduce alternate bearing in pecan trees.

The new Center for Pecan and Specialty Agriculture adds opportunities for ag education and collaboration

The use of photographs in science is increasing, with several recent developments and applications.
