1. Nitrogen Fertilizer Efficiency in a Long-term Research TrialIn 1993, a long term crop rotation study (The Living Field Laboratory) was initiated at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI, designed to investigate the benefits of cover crops in various integrated systems compared to a conventional system without cover crops. Today, with the rising cost of production (i.e. energy and fertiliz er) and continued environmental concerns, there are strong incentives for corn pr oducers to accurately assess N requirements and improve fertilizer efficiency.... |
2. Assessing the Status of Soil Phosphorus, Potassium and pH for Soybean Production in OhioSoybeans are one of the most valuable agronomic crops produced in Ohio, and in 2014, the value of Ohio⤙s soybean crop was $2.7 billion making soybean extremely important for agriculture and the economy. To achieve high soybean yields, it is essential to have the proper soil nutrient and pH levels; however, some nutrients can also have detrimental environmental effects. Phosphorus (P) can cause eutrophication of freshwater systems when high quantities enter waterways, further... A. Brooker, L. Lindsey |
3. Management Zone Delineation Techniques to Aid In-Season Sensor Based Nitrogen ApplicationThe increased efficiency of nitr ogen fertilizer (N) use has been a long-term goal in reduction of nitrate contamination in the stat e of Nebraska. Preliminary rese arch has shown sensor based in- season application of nitrogen has the ability to be economic and environmentally viable. Although benefits have been published there is an opportunity for increased accuracy of N application through the integration of preprocesse d georeferenced management zones. In-season sensor based N application relies... |
4. Optimizing Nitrogen Rate to Maximize Winter Malting Barley Grain Yield While Meeting ProteinWinter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare) acreage is increasing across Ohio due to demand from the local craft brewing industry; however, grain used for this market must pass specific quality requirements. The objective of this study was to identify optimum spring nitrogen rates for winter malting barley that maximize yield while meeting protein requirements. Small plot trials were conducted at three locations in Ohio: Northwest Agriculture Research Station (NWARS) in Custar, Western Agriculture... G. Mcglinch, L. Lindsey, R. Shrestha, M. Hankinson |
