1. DAP vs MAP Manufacturing/Marketing ImplicationsOver the past several years, discussions on the suitability of monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP) as P sources for crop production have been common. In addition to agronomic principles, these discussions have often focused on what the future holds on the availability of these two materials in the marketplace. This discussion will deal with manufacturing and marketing influences on future availability/use, while agronomic comparisons will be made elsewhere. To some, phosphate... |
2. Phosphorus Placement and Tillage Effects on Corn and Soil P LevelsIncreasing crop production costs have producers scrambling to gain the greatest efficiency possible from added fertilizers. A field study was conducted at two locations in southern Illinois is assess the effect of phosphorus (P) rates and placement methods on yield and P uptake by corn under no-till (NT) and conventional (chisel and disk) tillage (CT) systems. Phosphorus rates consisted of 0, 20, and 40 pounds P205/Ac with placement methods of surface broadcast, dribble and 2x2 at planting. After... |
3. Organic Farming in Nebraska: Establishing Organic Research for the Organic Farming CommunityFour sites in Nebraska were developed to have land available to conduct research on certified organic land. All sites will be certified organic by the end of 2008. The goal of the project is to conduct research relevant to the organic farmi ng community and not to compare organic systems with conventional systems. Resear ch is being conducted on the use of flaming to control weeds, winter wheat variety development and selection for the organic market, variety testing of organic winter wheat, proso... |
4. Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable AgricultureField To Market®: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture Field To Market® is a diverse alliance working to create opportunities across the agricultural supply chain for continuous improvements in productivity, environmental quality, and human well-being. The group provides collaborative leadership that is engaged in industry-wide dialogue, grounded in science, and open to the full range of technology choices.... |
5. Switchgrass Rhizobacterial Community Structure as a Function of Cultivar and Nitrogen Fertility at Two Sites in MinnesotaBiofuel production using native perennial grasses such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) has potential to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil and curtail greenhouse gas emissions. Switchgrass can also provide significant ecosystem services, such as nutrient loss reduction and carbon sequestration. Best management practices (BMPs) for switchgrass fertility are being established on a regional basis, yet little work has been done to examine the intersection of soil fertility with soil biology in switchgrass-for-biofuel... |
6. Nitrogen Management: Unraveling the Effect of Timing and FormImprovement of nitrogen use efficiency by co rn production would decrease the potential for nitrogen loss into the environment. A study ha s been conducted in Ames, Iowa on 16 different forms and rates of nitrogen in both a continuous corn and corn-soybean production systems. There were differences among treatments; howeve r, the most consistent treatment was the SuperU applied as a 150 lb A -1 preplant or as 50 lb A-1 preplant and 100 lb A-1 sidedress and UAN with Agrotain adde d to both the 50... |
