1. 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... Download paper
2. Long-Term Measurement of Nitrate Leaching Below Corn Agreosystems and a Restored Prairie Many studies have evaluated nitrogen leachmg from tile drained agricultural soils, but less research has been performed on many well drained soils also common throughout the Midwest. This study measured nitrate leaching fiom chisel-plow (CP) and no-tillage 0 agroecosystems in order to determine the effects of common agricultural practices on the quality of water that drains past the root zone of crops. In an effort to obtain background levels of nitrate leaching from a natural ecosystem, measurements... Download paper
