2010 Precision Planted Corn Performance Trials

This publication reports the results of the 2010 South Dakota corn hybrid performance trials for glyphosate-resistant hybrids. Information includes both the most recent two-year and one-year grain yields in bushels per acre and one-year bushel weight in pounds, along with grain moisture at harvest, lodging, and final stand in percentages. These performance trials are conducted by the South Dakota Crop Performance Testing program at South Dakota State University. Corn performance trial tables are listed on the inside front cover. Environmental data is listed in tables A and B, indices of brand/hybrid entries to performance table number are listed in table C, table D has the performance table footnote legends, and mailing addresses for seed companies are listed in table E

Response to Thackeray (2016) – The possibility of lichen growth on bones of Homo naledi: Were they exposed to light?

Thackeray1 questions the hypothesis of deliberate body disposal in the Rising Star Cave by Homo naledi, as proposed by Dirks and colleagues2. Thackeray proposes that lichens produced mineral staining on the skeletal remains of H. naledi. As lichens require some exposure to light, in Thackeray’s opinion, the presence of mineral staining necessitates either a direct entrance deep into the Rising Star Cave that once admitted light into the Dinaledi Chamber, or relocation of mineral-stained bones from a location exposed to light. Here we consider multiple lines of evidence that reject Thackeray’s hypothesis that lichens deposited mineral staining upon the surface of these skeletal remains. We welcome the opportunity to address the inferences presented by Thackeray, and further hope that this response may dispel misinterpretations of our research2, and of other areas of the scientific literature that bear upon site formation processes at work within the Rising Star Cave system
