1. Sustainable Vegetable Crop Production Using Vermi-Compost

This research intends to utili ze earthworm castings as an alternate nutrient source, especially nitrogen, for vegetable crop production. The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse and 'Mountain Fresh' tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was used as the test crop. The main objectives were (1) to identify the optimum app lication rate of earthworm castings (EC) for tomato growth, and (2) to compare tomato res ponse under different treatments. Three different textural soils, namely sandy soil,...

2. Crop Sensors as In-season Nitrogen Management Tool for Winter Wheat in Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, current winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) nitrogen (N) rate guidelines are determined by soil type, previous crop, and pre-plant soil nitrate test (PPNT). Nitrogen management may be improved through site-specific assessments of N need in the spring, offering a more effective use of top-dressed N. The study objective was to determine if crop reflectance measurements could be used to determine optimal in-season N rates on silt loam soils in eastern Wisconsin. This study evaluated the...

3. Nitrogen Management: Unraveling the Effect of Timing and Form

Improvement of nitrogen use efficiency by co rn production would decrease the potential for nitrogen loss into the environment. A study ha s been conducted in Ames, Iowa on 16 different forms and rates of nitrogen in both a continuous corn and corn-soybean production systems. There were differences among treatments; howeve r, the most consistent treatment was the SuperU applied as a 150 lb A -1 preplant or as 50 lb A-1 preplant and 100 lb A-1 sidedress and UAN with Agrotain adde d to both the 50...

4. Methods and Limitations of Zone Sampling Using Topography as a Logical Basis

Two forty-acre fields in North Dakota were sampled in a 110 foot grid. Each field was measured for elevation in the same 110 foot grid. Topographic sampling zones were identified in each field and a correlation of the sampling based on these zones was compared to the correlation values from a 220 foot grid. Nitrate-N and the 220 foot grid were both correlated to the 110 foot sampling values for nitrate-N and P. A map of field nitrate-N levels from topography sampling compared to the 220 foot grid...
