1. An Evaluation of Nitrogen Application Methods for Ridge-Planted CornRidge planting is a conservation tillage method receiving some attention in the Midwest at the present time. In this system the crop is planted atop a ridge which was formed by cultivation of the previous year's crop. There is generally no tillage performed between ridge building and the next year's planting. The system is similar to no-till in that large quantities of residue are often present on the soil surface in the spring, most being concentrated in the ridge furrows. Research initiated in... |
2. Building a Corn Nitrogen Rate Database for Minnesota's Irrigated Sandy SoilsA study was conducted to determine the optimum N rate to apply for corn grown on irrigated sandy soils in Minnesota. Sandy soils in Minnesota vary in the texture of the surface fron silt loam to sand. Since 2006, 11 sites had 8 to 9 N fertikizer rates applied. The optimum N rate for the sandy sites with a silt loam surface texture ranged from 168 kg N/ha to 200 kg N/ha while the sandy surfaced soils optimum N rate ranged from 250 kg Nha to 280 kg N/ha. The silt loam surface soil sites optimum N rate... |

4. Genotype Specific Management for Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Kentucky Soft Red Winter WheatThe complex interaction of genotype x environment x management (GxExM) that defines crop yield is often only explored with research on a single genotype or a select few genotypes. Improvements in crop management and understanding local adaptation to climate variability will require a broader understanding of specific genotype interactions with management systems across multiple environments. A multi-year study investigating the potential for variety specific management systems based on phenotypic... |
5. Effect of Manure Sources on Soil Phosphorus DynamicsPhosphorus (P) is essential for crop production, but it also causes water quality issues such as algal blooms. Crops typically utilize only 10-20% of applied P; the remainder accumulates in soil or is eroded/leached into water bodies, resulting in reduced fertilizer use efficiency and increased risk of eutrophication. This study evaluated the effects of different organic fertilization strategies on soil P pools across two sites in Ohio. Treatments included two manure-amended sites, one receiving... J. Singh, J.
