Data from: Site-specific management of cotton root rot using airborne and high resolution satellite imagery and variable rate technology

    Cotton root rot disease tends to occur in the same general areas within fields in recurring years, thus site-specific application of Topguard Terra fungicide only to infested areas can be as effective as and considerably more economical than uniform application. The overall objective of this research was to demonstrate how site-specific fungicide application could be implemented based on historical remote sensing imagery and using variable-rate technology.

    A Survey to Evaluate the Current Status of Land Grant University and State Department of Agriculture Soil Fertility Recommendations and Analytical Methods

      Results of a survey to collect contemporary information from our land-grant university colleagues working in soil fertility. The goals of the survey were to gain a better understanding of the current status of soil testing across the U.S. to inform future collaborative efforts among states and regions, and to identify where opportunities exist to harmonize recommendation guidelines. The objectives were to collect information about state soil test recommendations, fertilization philosophy, analytical methods, and the provenance of correlation and calibration data that support soil-test-based recommendations.

      Data from: Data of epigenomic profiling of histone marks and CTCF binding sites in bovine rumen epithelial primary cells before and after butyrate treatment

        To explore the bovine functional genomic elements and the vital roles of butyrate on the epigenetic modifications of bovine genomic activities, we generated and deposited the genome-wide datasets of transcript factor binding sites of CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor, insulator binding protein), histone methylation (H3H27me3, H3K4me1, H3K4me3) and histone acetylation (H3K27ac) from bovine rumen epithelial primary cells (REPC) before and after butyrate treatment (https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-019-0687-8). This dataset provides detailed information on experiment design, data generation, data quality assessment and guideline for data re-use.

        Uniform Soybean Tests, Northern Region

          The Uniform Soybean Tests, Northern Region, in place since 1941, evaluate yield, disease resistance, and quality traits of public breeding lines from northern states of the USA and Canadian provinces. The annual reports which compile the test results (PDF format) are available, and new reports are added annually.

          Uniform Soybean Tests, Southern States

            The Uniform Soybean Tests, Southern States, in place since 1943, evaluate yield, disease resistance, and quality traits of public breeding lines from the southern states of the USA. The annual reports which compile the test results (PDF format) are available, and new reports are added annually.

            USDA Dietary Guidelines Sentiment Analysis

              This dataset has all documents, the text and the pdf files as well as the code that was used to carry out the sentiment analysis on USDA DietaryGuidelines. The scope of the project and the resulting dataset uploaded here is carrying out the sentiment analysis on USDA dietary guidelines from 1980 till 2015 (released every 5 years). The motivation behind this project was the fact that recommendations regarding the different nutrients have changed over the years.
