1. Evaluation of Crop Canopy Sensors as a Tool for Soybean Research and ProductionDetermining the variables that consistently increase yields in soybean  [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] continues to challenge researchers, agronomists and growers alike. Crop canopy sensors have emerged as a technology used in other cropping systems to monitor and manage agricultural inputs. The sensors measure reflectance in selected wavebands that are used to calculate vegetation indices that relate to unique leaf or canopy characteristics. The objectives of this study were to determine if a commercially... |
2. Evaluation of Adapt-N in the Corn BeltNitrogen is the plant nutrient required in the largest quantity, the most likely to be deficient, and the most impactful on corn yield as well as grower profit. Providing N to a corn crop in the right amount while minimizing loss is difficult because of complex biological and chemical reactions that result in the loss of N from the crop root zone via deep percolation to ground water, lateral flow, runoff and erosion to surface waters, and volatile losses to the atmosphere as ammonia, nitrogen gas,... |
3. Reducing the Severity of Phyophthora Root Rot Damage in Soybeans with Selected Management OptionsPhytophthora root rot of soybeans (PRR) is a major concern for soybean growers in south-central and southeastern Minnesota, where it can be responsible for major yield reductions. In these regions, PRR is generally a serious problem when soybeans are grown on poorly drained soils and/or there is a moderate amount of rainfall within 2 to 3 days of planting. Previous research has shown that PRR causes a reduction in the number of harvestable plants per acre and this is the major contributing factor... |
