1. The Conservation Reserve Program- Changes on the Horizon

Ten years ago, Congress passed the foundation of current conservation programs--the Food Security Act of 1985. Today, one program in particular, has exceeded many peoples' expectations. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) yas designed to take 40 - 45 million acres of highly erodible cropland out of production for a 10 - 15 year period. As the first CRP contracts begin to expire, Congress and the Administration are grappling with the program's future in the context of the 1995 farm bill. Will the...

2. Predicting Plant Available Potassium using a Modified Sodium Tetraphenylboron Method

Current potassium (K) fertilizer. recommendations in the midwest are based primarily on the ammonium acetate exchangeable K (NH,OAc) soil test. In soils where nonexchangeable K comprises a major portion of plant available K, the ammonium acetate soil test is unreliable. Soil K extraction by sodium tetraphenylboron (Na-TPB) accesses both exchangeable and nonexchangeable K and mimics the action of K uptake by plant roots. A Na-TPB method utilizing a 5-minute extraction period is described, and the...

3. The Analysis of Nitrogen and Plant Population Interactions

Nitrogen and plant population are significant factors for corn production. Accurate nitrogen fertilizer and seeding rate recommendations are essential for optimizing profitability for the fmer and minimizing nitrogen losses. Research and development of yield response curves provide important information that can be used to understand the relationships between these inputs (nitrogen fertilizer and corn seeds) and output (grain yield). Over the varying levels of inputs. yield response functions can...

4. Effect of Biosolids Application On Plant Available Nutrients

Biosolids are a by-product of municipal wastewater treatment process which is extensively treated to meet all applicable federal and state regulations so that they can it can be safely applied to land. Approximately, 7.9 million dry metric tons of biosolids are produced annually in the United States (U.S.) and over 55% of this amount is beneficially utilized through land application (NEBRA, 2007). Farmland application of biosolids is considered to be one of the most economical and environmentally...
