1. Soybean Growth Components as Influenced by No-till and Strip-till Systems and Different P and K Rates and PlacementsReduced tillage and broadcast phosphorus (P) a nd potassium (K) applications can lead to accumulation of these nutrients in the soil surfa ce. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of conservation tillage (no-till and strip-till) and rate/placement of P and K on soybean production. The experiment was arranged in a split-split-block design with three replications with tillage/placem ent no-till broadcast (NTBC), no-till deep placement at 15 cm (NTDP), and strip-till deep placement... |
2. Current Perceptions on Soil Fertility Recommendations and Status of Soil Fertility in IllinoisWhile most soils in Illinois are generally recognized for their high productivity, regular application of phosphorus (P), pot assium (K), and limestone are necessary to maintain their productivity. Determination of soil P, K, and pH levels through soil analysis is necessary to guide application of these nutrients and limestone. Due to recent high fertilizer prices there has been interest from producers to temporarily reduce or eliminate P and K applications without reducing crop yield. In an effort... |
3. Nitrogen Timing and Nitrification Inhibitors for Corn in KansasAnhydrous ammonia is a common Nitrogen (N) source used for corn production in Kansas. Two common mechanisms of N loss in corn production in Kansas soils are denitrification and leaching. By minimizing these losses, producers can maximize yield with lower input use and have less impact on the environment. Time of application, particularly fall vs. spring application can have significant impact on N loss, particularly in some soils. The use of nitrification inhibitors (NI) with anhydrous ammonia to... |
4. Winter Wheat Grain and Straw Impacts from Autumn Starter and Spring Nitrogen Fertilizer StrategiesThe overwintering success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can be a determining yield factor in Michigan. Autumn-applied starter fertilizer may affect establishment, nutrient uptake, tiller production, and grain and straw yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate soft red winter wheat (SRWW) grain and straw yield in response to autumn applied starter fertilizer, spring nitrogen (N), and varietal stature. A two-year randomized complete block split-plot design with... K. Steinke, L. Thomas |
