1. Nitrate-N Loss Reduction: Scale of In-Field and Edge-of-Field Practice Implementation to Reach Water Quality GoalsStates in the Mississippi River Basin have developed state level nutrient reduction strategies in response to the 2008 Hypoxia Action Plan. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy was released in 2013 and the Nonpoint Source Nutrient Reduction Strategy Science Assessment reviews potential practice performance in reducing downstream nutrient loss and the scale of implementation that would be necessary to reach the Hypoxia Action Plan goal of a 45% reduction in riverine Nitrogen and Phosphorus. To... M. Helmers |
2. Can Soil Information Better Inform Canopy Sensor Algorithms for Corn?Corn production is often limited by the loss of nitrogen (N) due to leaching, volatilization and denitrification. The use of canopy sensors for making in-season N fertilizer applications has been proven effective in matching plant N requirements with periods of rapid N uptake (V7-V11), reducing the amount of N lost to these processes. However, N recommendation algorithms used in conjunction with canopy sensor measurements have not proven accurate in many fields of the U.S. Cornbelt, resulting in... , N.R. Kitchen, J.

3. Changes in Soil Test Phosphorus as a Function of Inorganic and Organic Phosphorus in Animal ManureUnderstanding how and why soil test phosphorus (P) levels increase with manure and fertilizer application is important to assist in improvi ng any nutrient management plan. An incubation study investigated the change in soil test P (STP) after 42 different animal manures (dairy, beef, swine, chicken, turkey, goat, sheep, and horse) or fer tilizer were applied at a rate of 40 mg total P kg -1 to 25 different agriculturally important soils of Wisconsin. Both liquid and solid dairy and swine manure... |
4. Relationship between Nitrogen Rate and Weed Removal Timing on Corn YieldWeeds actively compete for nitrogen in corn grain production systems. Field studies were conducted in 2009 and 2010 at the Michigan State University Crop and Soil s Research Farm in East Lansing , MI to evaluate the effect of N application rate and weed removal timing on grain yield . Treatments included four preplant incorporated rates of urea (0, 67, 134, and 202 kg N ha - 1 ) and four weed removal timings (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm) based on average weed canopy height. An additional season- long weed-free... |
