1. Nitrogen Rate Revisions for Corn in North DakotaNitrogen rates in North Dakota have been based on a yield-goal or yield-potential formula for over forty years. The currently published formula (Franzen, 2010) is: Recommended N rate = (Yield Potential, bushels per acre) X 1.2 less N credits from previous crops and soil test nitrate to 2 feet in depth. A yield-based strategy was practical when N costs were relatively low and yields in North Dakota were at most 100 bushels per acre. However, due to improved germplasm developed at North Dakota State... |
2. Use Of Corn Height To Improve The Relationship Between Active Optical Sensor Readings And Yield EstimatesPre-season and early in-season loss of N continues to be a problem in corn (Zea mays, L.). One method to improve nitrogen use efficiency is to fertilize based on in-season crop foliage sensors. The objective of this study was to evaluate two different ground-based, active-optical sensors and explore the use of corn height with sensor readings for improved relationship with corn yield. Two different ground-based active-optical sensors (Greenseeker�, Trimble, Sunnydale, CA; and Holland Crop Circle... |
