1. The Effect of Sulfur Fertilization of Yield and Quality of Corn and AlfalfaThe importance of sulfur (S) fertilizers for crop production in Minnesota has been recognized for several years. Inpast research, the use of S had increased crop production only on the sandy soils. Since the soil organic matter is a major reservoir of S for plant use, there is always some question about the need for S in a fertilizer program where soils are not sandy but, yet, have a low organic matter content. It is well known that S is an important component of some amino acids in wlants and this... |
2. Chemical and Biological Changes Resulting from Soil SubmergenceFlooding of a soil for rice production results in significant short and long term physical, chemical and biological changes in soil properties. These changes may have significant impact of the availability of nutrients for plant growth both for aquatic plants growing in the flooded soil and upland plants on the soil when not under flooded conditions. Chief among these nutritional effects are accelerated nitrogen (N) losses, conversion of phosphorus (P) to more available forms during flooding then... |
3. Fertilizer Placement in Fall Strip TillageFall strip-tillage potentially provides an opportunity to increase conservation-till corn yields while sirnplifylng corn planters by minimizing the need for multiple coulters and application of relatively high rates of starter-band fertilizer associated with no-till. However. little is known about the relative efficiency of P and K application using fall strip-till systems co~npared to when starter-band applied in no-till systems. The objectives of the research reported in this study were to evaluate... |
