1. Effect of Application N timing and Plant Growth Regulator use in WheatWinter wheat is an important cash crop grown in the Midwestern states. However, progress in yield advancement has been slow compared to advances in other major wheat producing regions, notably Euro~e. This has lead to a competitive disadvantage of USA-produced wheat on the world market. In an effort to enhance wheat productivity and profitability a series of experiments were established in the fall of 1985 to assess the impact of more intensified management practices including the use of multiple... |
2. Visual Correlation of Aerial Imagery with Topography and Crop YieldA study is currently being conducted on several farms to evaluate the usefulness of aerial imagery of soil and of a growing crop to delineate within-field management zones for the purposes of site-specific management. Presented is information for one site in Kent county Ontario for which correlations between aerial images taken of the soil and of the growing crop with the spatial patterns of measured topography, soil texture, and corn yield were examined. Visual interpretation indicated a very good... |
3. Weed Control Timing Effects on Corn Yield Response to NitrogenNitrogen (N) rate guidelines for corn are under c ontinued scrutiny to maximize N use efficiency in order to minimize potential N losses to th e environment while maximizing economic returns to growers, especially with significant N fertilizer price increases in recent years. In-season crop stress can potentially affect corn N needs for optimum production. Recently, postemergence weed control has become more common with th e availability of glyphosate resistant corn hybrids. Delaying weed control... |
