1. Manure Brokerage in OhioIn Ohio there are several counties where annual manure production exceeds the requirements of all crops grown in the county. Poor distribution of this manure has created instances where soils have become overloaded with phosphorus, contributing to the phosphorus load of surface waters and creating the potential for long term release of phosphorus into states waters. Nitrogen also becomes an environmental concern as excess nutrient loads are placed on soils, nitrogen is found leaching through tile... |
2. The Potential use of Polymer-Coated Urea as a Spring Nitrogen Source for WheatMost of the soils in Northwest Ohio are medium to fine texture with poor internal drainage. Tile drainage has improved these fields, but nitrogen loss still often occurs from denitrification, especially during cold and wet springs. Growers compensate for this potential loss by applying more N at green-up or split spring applications. both of which add costs. -4 slow release N fertilizer may reduce the need for more N or split applications. One of the new time release N products is polymer-coated... |
3. The Potential use of Polymer-coated Urea as an In-Furrow Fertilizer for CornMost of the soils in Northwest Ohio are medium to fine texture with poor internal drainage. Tile drainage has improved these fields, but nitrogen loss still often occurs from denitrification, especially during cold and wet springs. The use of no-till practices has accentuated the problem. Starter fertilizers at planting have often improved the early growth of corn under these cold and wet conditions. IIowever, weather conditions may prevent timely sidedressing after planting, and cause N deficiency... |
4. Long-Term Measurement of Nitrate Leaching Below Corn Agreosystems and a Restored PrairieMany studies have evaluated nitrogen leachmg from tile drained agricultural soils, but less research has been performed on many well drained soils also common throughout the Midwest. This study measured nitrate leaching fiom chisel-plow (CP) and no-tillage 0 agroecosystems in order to determine the effects of common agricultural practices on the quality of water that drains past the root zone of crops. In an effort to obtain background levels of nitrate leaching from a natural ecosystem, measurements... |
