1. Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization of Cool Season GrassStudies were initiated at two locations on cool season grass in central South Dakota to evaluate the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on forage and seed yields. Nitrogen rates (0,30,60,90,120,1501b Nacre) and phosphorus rates (0,30,60,90,180 Ib P,Odacre) were applied to established crested or intermediate wheatgrass once and harvested for either two or three years depending on location. Nitrogen increased dry matter yield by 48 and 62% at the two locations and seed yield by 166 percent. Phosphorus... |
2. Spatial Response of Corn to Banded Zinc Sulfate Fertilizer in IowaThe solubility of zinc (Zn) decreases as pH increases. There are soil associations that contain high pH spots within fields where the surrounding soils' pHs are slightly acid. It is reasonable to expect that Zn availability, due to a difference in solubility, is different in the two areas. The objectives of this study were to find corn (Zea nlnys L.) grain yield responses to Zn fertilizers within fields and to define the soil characteristics in responsive areas. The study was conducted at twelve... |
