1. Evaluation of Fertilizer Placement for Corn with Contrasting Rooting SystemCorn genetic improvements in recent year⤙s generated hybrids adapted for water limited conditions (drought tolerant-DT). Drought tolerant hybrids were developed with conventional breeding selection process, and therefore selected based on certain characteristics such as growth habits and root system. New transgenic DT corn hybrids are also becoming available to producers. A previous study demonstrated that corn response to starter fertilizer application can vary by hybrid (Gordon et al, 1997).... |
2. Fertilizer Placement and Tillage Interaction in Corn and Soybean ProductionDifferent tillage systems can affect the availability of phosphorus (P) in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects and interaction of fertilizer placement, tillage, and varieties/hybrids for corn and soybean. The experiment was established at two locations in Kansas in 2014. The experimental design was a factorial in a randomized complete block with four replications. Three fertilizer treatments were combined with two tillage systems and two varieties/hybrids of soybean... |
3. Calcium Chloride Effects on Nitrogen Uptake by Small GrainsApplying calcium chloride (CaC12) with urea stimulated nitrogen uptake by small grains in six greenhouse studies. The effect was most dramatic for a sandy soil, moderate for a loam soil, and not observed for a clay soil. Allowing the urea to nitrify before plant uptake negated the CaC12 effect. In field studies, these effects were generally not observed, probably because the nitrification of the applied N was too rapid. However, this concept deserves further investigation, for example, when established... |
