1. 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... |
2. 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... |
3. Polymer Coated Urea and Time of Application for Corn Production in MinnesotaManaging N for corn production is a key to minimizing N losses. Excessively wet spring conditions resulting from ongoing climate change exacerbate loss potential of early spring N applications. Also, a shift in available N fertilizer sources calls for an extensive evaluation of these sources across different soil conditions to update the current N best management practices. The objectives of this research are to evaluate various urea, polymer-coated urea (PCU), and PCU-urea blends and N application... F. Fernández, K. Fabrizzi, J. Vetsch, W.F. Lazarus |
4. 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.
