1. Nitrogen Management Systems for Ridge-tilled Corn ProductionThe use of conservation tillage methods, including ridge- tillage, increases crop residue cover which can lead to loss of urea-based fertilizers applied broadcast. ~ield tests were conducted during 1987-1991 at the ~rrigation ~xperiment Field, located near Scandia, Kansas, on a Crete silt loam soil (fine, montmorillionitic, mesic, Panchic, Arguistoll). Treatments included anhydrous ammonia (AA) applied preplant knife-injected; 28% urea-ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) applied preplant knife- injected,... |
2. Topsoil Thickness Influence on Phosphorus and Potassium Availability and Crop ResponseSoil testing to estimate nutrient availability and fertilizer needs is a widespread management practice for cropping systems in the United States. as well as in other countries. The purpose of soil testing is to simulate the ability of the plant roots lo uptake these various nutrients critical for normal growth. Crops generally uptake a s~nall amount of phosphorus (P) compared to potassium (K). The portion of soil P that is readily available for plant growth maybe limiting due to the small quantities... |
