1. 4R Phosphorus Management for Soybeans in the Northern Frontier: Rate and Placement Effects on Plant Stand, Biomass and Seed YieldVery little research has been conducted to determine the best rate, source, placement, and timing of P fertilizer for modern soybean cultivars grown in the Canadian Prairies. Preliminary results of the two years of field studies at 10 locations in Manitoba showed that typical agronomic rates of seed row P did not decrease plant stand and seed yield at any sites; nor was seed yield increased at any site, even with Olsen P concentrations as low as 3 ppm.... |
2. Relationship of Mehlich-3 ICP and Mehlich-3 Colorimetric Phosphorus Determinations with the Bray-P1 ExtractantThe Bray P1 extractant has traditionally been the common extractant used for soil testing in the Midwest and Great Plains. while the Olsen P tests has been the dominant phosphorus (P) extractant used in many westem states. The use of the Meldich-3 extractant for determining soil test P in private and state operated soil test laborato~ies becotne more commonplace in recent years. The ability to extract multiple elements is a 11lajor advantage of the Mehlich-3 test. While the Mehlich-3 test is often... |
3. Soybean Response to Potassium Fertility and Fertilizer in ManitobaSoybean acres have increased greatly in Manitoba in recent years, now occupying more than 25% of the province’s annual crop land. Potassium removal by soybean is greater than any other crop grown in Manitoba (1.1 – 1.4 lb K2O/bu). This large removal, accompanied by the large and rapid expansion in soybean acres, has contributed to an increase in province-wide potassium removal rates and likely explains the increase in incidence of potassium deficiency symptoms reported in recent years....
