1. Nutrient Reduction Strategies

The Hypoxia Task Force (HTF) 2008 Action Plan set a goal or reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus load reaching the Gulf by 45% in order to reduce the size of the hypoxic zone to 5,000 km 2. Each of the 12 states along the main stem of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers were to develop a state specific strategy by 2013 to achieve the goal by 2015. These plans have been developed and work is underway to implement the strategies, but the time line was not realistic. In February 2015, the HTF announced...

2. Stand Age Affects Fertilizer Nitrogen Response in First-Year Corn Following Alfalfa

Through a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria, alfalfa can acquire nitrogen (N) from the atmosphere, use the N for its own growth, and contribute large amounts of N to subsequent crops. To estimate this N contribution, most land-grant universities use book-value N credits based on alfalfa stand density at termination. However, a recent literature analysis indicated that alfalfa stand density is not a reliable predictor of grain yield response to fertilizer N in first-year corn. That analysis...
