1. Small Grain Response to Potassium and Chloride AdditionsStudies have been conducted over a three-year period to determine the frequency and the cause of small grain response to KC1 additions on high K soils. During the first two years responsiveness of hard red spring wheat, spring barley, and oats were compared at six locations in eastern South Dakota. Broadcast applications of 167 lbs/A of KC1 caused grain yield increases significant at the 0.05 probability level at four sites for wheat and two sites for barley while no oat yield increases were measured.... |
2. Corn and Soybean Grain Yield and Concentration of Potassium in Plant Tissues and Soil as Affected by Potassium FertilizationResearch in the Midwest has shown that K fer tilization tends to increase plant K uptake by corn and soybean and the K concentration of vegeta tive tissues. Several studies found that K fertilization usually increases the K concentrati on of vegetative plant parts, often regardless of the soil-test K (STK) level a nd grain yield response (Malla rino et al., 1999; Borges and Mallarino, 2000; Yin and Vyn, 2002a, 2002b; Borg es and Mallarino, 2003; Yin and Vyn, 2003). It is well known that the K concentration... |
3. Incorporating Cover Crops into No-till Production SystemsAlthough no-till soil management has many benef its, including protecting the soil from erosion, improving soil organic matter, and improving soil moisture storage, depending on environmental conditions there could be a number of potentia l problems. Implementation of no-till soil management in eastern South Da kota can lead to wet and cold soils at the time of planting. Cover crops have the potential to utilize exce ss soil moisture and improve soil conditions at planting. A field experiment was... |
4. Nitrogen Loss from Sprinkler Applied Beef Feedlot EffluentLoss of nitrogen from sprinkler applied beef feedlot effluent can be costly for both the producer and the environment. Sprinkler application of effluent is common throughout the Great Plains, though little work has focused specifically on N losses from beef feedlot effluent. We quantified ammonia (NH 3) and nitrous oxide (N2O) losses from beef feedlot effluent applications under field conditions including variations in soil pH, soil water content, ammonium (NH 4+) concentration of the effluent, and... |
5. Correlation Between Mehlich-3 and Haney Extractable Phosphorus and Potassium, and Their Relationship to Soybean (Glycine Max) Yield ResponseNumerous soil tests have been developed for estimating the plant-availability of soil phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Understanding the relationship between these test’s results and crop response to fertilizer application is essential for developing and improving fertilizer recommendations. Field trials have been initiated at six sites located across the state of Kansas to investigate the response of soybean to broadcast P and K fertilizer application. Plots are... E. Rutter, D.

6. Corn Responses to Sulfur Fertilizer in IndianaCorn yield increases in response to sulfur (S) applied as ammonium thiosulfate in liquid N (in sidedress and/or starter fertilizer applications) occurred in ~40% of 40 trials conducted between 2017 and 2021 and ranged from 4 to 24 bushels per acre on responsive sites. Increased grain yield with S fertilization occurred on soils ranging in texture from sandy loam to silty clay loam and soil organic matter concentrations from ~1 to 3%. Yield increases with S fertilization were not predicted by Mehlich‑3... J. Camberato, D. Salguero, R. Nielsen |
