1. Time of Harvest Alters Nutrient Management of SwitchgrassSwitchgrass is one of many cellulosic crops bei ng considered as a biomass feedstock for the production of bioenergy, including ethanol. It is being promoted as a crop that can grow well on marginal lands with low nutrient inputs as well as on more fertile soils. Nutrient removal is important for long-term perennial crop production. A study, establishe d to evaluate the effects of nitrogen rate and harvest management system, was used to evaluate the nutrient removal in switchgrass harvested at different... |
2. Soybean Production Research: A National ApproachU.S. soybean growers are looking for alternative methods to increase soybean yields and recent increases in commodity prices have given producers more freedom to invest in additional crop inputs or products. Unfortunately, quality data from studies addressing multiple contemporary inputs is scarce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined soybean inputs on seed yield. These high input systems were tested in six states to evaluate their value across a broad geography.... |
3. How to Prepare a Virtual Poster for NCSFCThis poster will go through the steps of preparing a poster for inclusion in the poster sessions of the North Central Soil Fertility Conference. We will discuss how to: edit abstract and title, select a template, prepare text and images for each content block, upload downloadable materials, set header information, prepare for live chat and the scheduled poster sessions ...

4. The Effects of Phosphorus and Potassium Application on a 14-year-old Miscanthus × giganteus StandMiscanthus × giganteus (miscanthus) is a perennial C4 grass grown for renewable bioenergy and bioproducts. While miscanthus is often considered to have low nutrient requirements, the need for fertilization remains poorly understood, particularly in mature stands. This study aims to provide insight by evaluating for potential phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) limitations in a 14-year-old miscanthus stand in central Iowa that had received no prior fertilization. The experiment followed... J. Studt, A. Larson, A. Vanloocke, M. Mcdaniel, E. Heaton, N. Boersma |
