1. Identifying Critical Sources of Phosphorus Export from Agricultural WatershedsPhosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant and animal growth, and its input to agriculture is necessary to maintain profitable crop and animal production. Eutrophication, the natural aging of lakes or streams brought on by nutrient enrichment, can be accelerated by P inputs to fresh waters from human activities (Carpenter et al., 1998; Schindler. 1977). Eutrophication has been identified as the main problem in surface waters withimpaired water quality (USEPA. 1996). It restricts water use for... |
2. Influence of Biological Seed Treatment on Soybean Grain Yield in the U.S.Biological seed treatment in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a growing market in the U.S., with multiple microbially active ingredients and several proposed benefits. Some of the claimed benefits include improving nitrogen fixation, stimulation of root growth, increasing phosphorus, sulfur, and other nutrient absorption, and control of diseases, with the aim to increase soybean grain yield. Farmers are often bombarded with marketing claims about biological seed treatments. In many... F. Colet, R.A. Vann, S.P. Conley, S.L. Naeve, E.G. Matcham, S. Mourtzinis, L.E. Lindsey |
