1. Phosphorus Losses in Runoff Water as Affected by Tillage and Phosphorus FertilizationPhosphorus (P) in runoff from cropland can contribute to nutrient enrichment and eutrophication of surface water bodies. Research was continued during 1996 to determine which tillage systems and which methods of applying P fertilizer will result in the least P losses in runoff water for grain sorghum production under somewhat poorly drained soil conditions in east-central Kansas. The tillage systems evaluated were a chisel-disk-field cultivate system, a ridge-till system, and a no-till system. Fertilizer... |
2. Effects of Chloride From Poultry Litter and Muriate of Potash on Cured Tobacco Leaf QualityPoultry litter is growing more popular as a soil amendment in western Kentucky. due to recent poultry industry expansion. There is concern among the tobacco industry that chloride levels in poultry litter may have detrimental effects on cured leaf quality. A three year study is being conducted at the University of Kentucky to compare availability of chloride fiom poultry litter and muriate of potash and its effect on cured leaf quality. A randomized complete block design structure was chosen, with... |
3. iPhone Apps: Corn Nitrogen Fertilizer Rate Calculator and Nitrogen Fertilizer Price Comparison CalculatorAs communications technology advances, there is a need for Extension to deliver information and decision- making tools that leverage these new technologies to engage existing and new clientele groups in new wa ys. Smart technologies allow ac cess to pertinent information on-the- go and out in the field, right when it's needed. ... |

5. Use of Biostimulants for Increased Nutrient Uptake in Maize ProductionBiostimulants are becoming popular in the agricultural market as products to increase growth, health, and/or yield of crop plants. These products differentiate themselves from traditional plant growth regulators as they impact crop growth and development indirectly through mitigation of crop stress and/or greater nutrient availability and uptake. The challenge in working with these products is that there are many types of biostimulants, each with unique mechanisms of action. The objective of this... C.N. Sible, F.E. Below |
6. Biochemical Soil Health Indicators Related to Economic Optimum Nitrogen Rate in CornIn corn production, nitrogen (N) fertilization is one of the main inputs to enhance yield. However, in the last few years, reducing N utilization has been a goal due to environmental concerns and production costs. Soil health tests have been studied to understand the relationship with N availability and its use to adjust N recommendation rates. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of different soil tests with the economic optimum N rate (N) for corn in Wisconsin. Soil samples... D. Orjuela diaz, C.A. Laboski, F.

7. Employing Statistical Models to Determine the Soil Tests and/or Soil Characteristics That Improved EONR Prediction in CornIn corn production, nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial for increasing yield. However, in the last few years, there has been a push to use less N due to environmental concerns and production costs. There has been an interest in using soil health tests to predict N mineralization potential and further understand soil N availability to adjust N recommendation rates. Different statistical models like regression or decision tree analysis have been used to determine how the Economic Optimum N Rate... D. Orjuela diaz, C.A. Laboski, F. Arriaga |
