1. Response Surface Models Of Subsoil K Concentration For Loess Over Till Soils In MissouriCrop uptake of potassium (K) has demonstrated sensitivity to subsoil variation in K content. This fact has not been sufficiently considered in K management strategies in part due to logistical difficulties in sampling spatially variable subsoil K. We propose a simplified soil factorial model, a response surface, to enable site-specific accounting of whole root zone K supply for loess over till soils. We compared the performance of two peak functions and a non-parametric local regression procedure... |
2. Managing Trade-offs of Winter Rye As a Cover CropWinter rye (Secal cereale L.) is a commonly used cover crop in Wisconsin due to its effectiveness in reducing soil erosion, scavenging nitrogen, and improving soil health. However, the potential trade-offs of using grass cover crops are decreases in corn yield driven by nitrogen uptake and immobilization. The study aims to determine the single year effect of rye seeding rate on rye biomass and optimum nitrogen rate of the subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) crop, while also... M. Schauer, M. Ruark |
