1. Importance of Subsoil PotassiumRecent information has emphasized the importance of nutrient distribution by depth in soils. Information from across the Cotton Belt in the U.S. has demonstrated that cotton yields have been affected by accumulation of potassium (K) near the soil surface with subsequent depletion of subsoil K. This condition combined with changes in K demand by new, high-yielding cotton varieties has led to a change in cotton K deficiency symptoms and delayed diagnosis of the actual problem. Recent studies have emphasized... |
2. Foliar Manganese and Glyphosate Formulation Yield Effects on Glyphosate-Resistant Soybeans in OhioIn order to address the potential problems associated with glyphosate and manganese applications to glyphosa te-resistant soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.), an experiment with varying glyphosate and manganese micronutrien t formulations and application timing was designed and carried out on two locations in Ohio to test effects on soybean yield. At the location in northwestern Ohio, th e yields for all of the manganese-treated plots were significantly higher ( P=0.1) than the untreated plots, regardless... |
3. Soil Test Phosphorus Trends in OhioAgriculture is often sited as th e primary factor for high P loads polluting Lake Erie and Ohio's watersheds, but its exact contribu tion is actually unknown. This proj ect evaluated historical soil phosphorus (P) trends in the state of Ohio by collecting historical soil data from the three largest commercial laboratories servicing Ohio to dete rmine if P levels at a county resolution are changing over time. This helps address to what extent widespread over-applications of P (either commercial or... |
4. Mitigating Phosphorus Movement from Agricultural FieldsAgriculture is often cited as the primary factor for the high P loads polluting Lake Erie and Ohio�۪s watersheds, but the contributions of agriculture as a system, a combination of tillage, best management practice (BMP) and fertilizer source rather than an industry is unknown. This study supplied either commercial fertilizer or poultry litter to tilled or no-till production systems with their corresponding BMPs of incorporation and cover crops, respectively, to determine the P lost via surface... |
5. Consequences Of Shallow NH3 Placement And Timing On N Use Efficiencies In Corn ProductionA field study in west-central Indiana was conducted to investigate the effects of shallow anhydrous ammonia (NH 3) placement and timing on N use efficiencies in a conventionally tilled corn production system following soybean crop. The spring NH 3 was applied either pre-plant (6- inches offset from future corn row) or side-dress (at mid-row position) at different rates (0, 80, 130 or 180 lbs N acre -1). Aboveground biomass harvest and combine harvested yield were used to determine N recovery, N internal... |
6. Exploring the Impact of Temporal Variability in Emergence on Corn Grain Yield and Development PatternsConcerns have raised among farmers in the Midwest regarding the impacts of uneven emergence of corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings. Research has showed that even a minor delay in emergence of a few hours could have a substantial influence on plant performance and ear weight; and one of the contributing factors to uneven seedling emergence in corn is the application of starter fertilizer. Placing fertilizers in the seed furrow increases the salt concentration surrounding the seed and as a result, delays... L. Dorissant, P. Kovács, J. Clark |
