1. Effects of Residue Density Levels on the Response of No-till Corn to N Fertilizers and InhibitorsExperiments were conducted from 1989-91 at tho southern Illinois locatio~ls (~elle\?ille and Car*bcrndale) to evaluate the effect of residue levels un the perfor-mance of N fertilizers, urease inhibitors, and placenient on the response of no-till conl. Levels of 0, 50, 100, and 200 percent of existing (pre-plant) amounts were established in the crop residues of previous corn. Kitrogen fertilizers were urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution (dribble, injection. and split-applied) and urea (broadcast-applied).... |
2. Horse Manure ManagementIt is common in the United States to find large concentrations of horses being stabled in suburban counties, immediately adjacent to large cities. Wood sawdust is one of the most common bedding materials used for horses. The high CIN ratio present in horse manure and hardwood sawdust mixtures makes this material problematic for use in agronomic or horticultural production. The high CIN ratio can induce a nitrogen deficiency in growing crops, due to the inmobilization of soil nitrogen by micro-organisms... |
3. Uptake and Leaching Potential Of Potassium And Sulfur When Split Applied For Corn on Irrigated SoilCoarse textured soils used in irrigated agriculture often face nutrient losses through the soil profile due to low cation exchange capacity (CEC). Split fertilizer application on sandy soils has been recommended for the corn crops in MN to avoid the leaching of fertilizers nutrients. Our study aimed to look at the potential for potassium and sulfur to be taken up or leached out in corn production. Two K and two S fertilizers studies were set up in Minnesota on coarse irrigated soils. Each site had... |
