- 2015 Virginia OnFarm Soybean Test PlotsBalderson, T. Keith; Broaddus, Mike; Clarke, Taylor; Deitch, Ursula; Flanagan, Roy; Hopkins, Steve; Jones, Bruce; Jones, Trent; Lawrence, Watson; Long, Theresa; Moore, David M.; Norton, Nikki; O'Keefe, Christine; Reiter, J. Scott; Romelczyk, Stephanie; Siegle, Laura; Slade, Glenn; Tucker, Lindy; Holshouser, David L. (2016-01-25)These demonstration and research plot results are a collaborative effort of Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) Agents and Specialists, area producers, and agribusiness. The purpose of this publication is to provide research based information to aid in the decision making process for soybean producers in Virginia. It provides an unbiased evaluation of varieties, management practices, and new technologies through on farm replicated research using producer equipment and time. These experiments enable producers to make better management decisions based on research and provide greater opportunities to improve yields and profits, which improves quality of life for them and their families.

- Evaluation of Household Water Quality in Appomattox and Campbell Counties, Virginia May - June 2009Benham, Brian L.; Ling, Erin; Jones, Bruce; Scott, Todd; Pollard, Jen; Forrester, Scott (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2010-11-12)In May 2009, 25 residents of Appomattox County and 5 Campbell County participated in a drinking water clinic sponsored by the local Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) office and the Virginia Household Water Quality Program.
- Impact of Conservation Tillage on Soil Erosion and the Agronomic Performance of Flue-Cured TobaccoJones, Bruce (Virginia Tech, 1998-12-08)Conservation tillage tobacco production has gained little producer acceptance since introduction in the late 1960's. Yield reductions, tobacco quality issues, unacceptable weed control, and inadequate planting equipment limited practice adoption and substantiated the need for continued research. The recent developments of a Subsurface Tiller-TransplanterTM and the herbicide SpartanTM renewed producer interest in conservation tillage and led to an investigation with both flue-cured and Virginia dark-fired tobacco. Flue-cured tobacco was transplanted into rye mulch on bedded rows and subsequently cultivated at various timings. Conservation tillage significantly reduced soil erosion approximately 92 percent and tobacco yield approximately 23 percent when row cultivation was not applied. Row cultivation significantly increased tobacco yield without increasing soil erosion. The yield of conservation tillage tobacco receiving a minimum of two cultivations was similar to conventional tobacco. The second study evaluated wheat, rye, crimson clover, and mixtures of crimson clover with either wheat or rye as cover crop mulches for conservation tillage production of Virginia dark-fired tobacco. Conservation tillage, regardless of cover crop, reduced dark-fired tobacco yields approximately 779 and 488 pounds per acre in 1996 and 1997, respectively. The removal of cover crop residue for hay did not lower tobacco yield compared to leaving residue on the soil surface. Row cultivation increased conservation tillage tobacco yield approximately 247 pounds in 1997 regardless of cover crop. The nitrogen contribution of crimson clover was minimal in both years of the study and did not affect tobacco performance.
