1. Corn and Soybean Response to Potassium Fertilization and PlacementI\ncreased adoption of conservation tillage, evidence of large within-field nutrient variability, and an apparent increase in the Frequency of crop potassium (K) deficiency symptoms in Iowa and other states have prompted questions about the effectiveness of current soil-test K interpretations and fertilizer recommendations. These questions relate to fertilizer placement and management of within-field nutrient variability. Broadcast placements are less costly than banded placements but they seem inefficient... |
2. Evaluation of Starter Fertilizer Formulations and Placements for Conservation Tillage Production SystemsWith the interest in and importance of the use of starter fertilizers in conservation tillage production systems, research was continued to evaluate higher rates of N in starter fertilizers and different starter fertilizer placements. The use of starter fertilizer containing N, P and K significantly increased corn yields compared to a N only program, even though soil P and K levels were high. Increasing N rates in direct seed placed starter did not increase yields and significantly reduced plant... |
