1. Sustainable Vegetable Crop Production Using Vermi-CompostThis 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. Effect of Biosolids Application On Plant Available NutrientsBiosolids are a by-product of municipal wastewater treatment process which is extensively treated to meet all applicable federal and state regulations so that they can it can be safely applied to land. Approximately, 7.9 million dry metric tons of biosolids are produced annually in the United States (U.S.) and over 55% of this amount is beneficially utilized through land application (NEBRA, 2007). Farmland application of biosolids is considered to be one of the most economical and environmentally... |
3. Elucidating How N Management Practices and Excess Water Conditions Affect Corn N Uptake and Grain YieldFlooding and waterlogging events have been more frequent in the Midwest region, causing corn yield penalty nitrogen losses through leaching and denitrification processes. Improving N fertilizer recommendations for areas prone to flood conditions is necessary to minimize N losses and optimize corn yield. This research aimed to determine how N application practices before and after waterlogging events impact corn growth and grain yield. A field experiment was initiated in 2021 in Custar, Ohio using...
