1. Variable Fertilizer Nitrogen Application Based on the Delta Yield Index- A Field StudyA quick review of the both the scientific and popular literature indicates that many different approaches have been suggested for the prediction of variable fertilizer N applications in the field. In previous meetings of this conference we have presented the general outline and approach taken for our site-specific crop management project in Ontario. Briefly, historical data sets of grain corn response trials to fertilizer N (encompassing some 300 site-years worth of data) indicated that most yield... |
2. Assessing Nitrogen Management and Claypan Soil Variability Effects on Switchgrass using Reflectance SensingThe topsoil depth or depth to the claypan (DTC) can be highly variable across the landscape for some Midwest soils. This makes managing crops on these soils difficult because their productivity can be highly variable. In some ar eas of the landscape there can be no topsoil and leave the claypan exposed (e.g., side-slope) while in other areas it can be buried (e.g., toe-slope) (Kitchen et al., 1999). Due to the high variability of theses soils, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a potential problem... |
