1. Using Reflectance Sensors to Predict Nitrogen Needs of CottonObjectives 1) Develop on-the-go N recommendations based on analysis of the reflectance sensor readings. 2) Determine the sensor model, height, and wa velength that give the best prediction for sidedress N. 3) Determine the best growth stag e for sensor-based sidedressing Relevance There is great spatial variability of N in the soil. Cotton fields that receive a blanket rate of nitrogen, ignoring the vari ability, will have areas of excessi ve growth. This unnecessary growth raises production cost... |
2. Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization of Cool Season GrassStudies were initiated at two locations on cool season grass in central South Dakota to evaluate the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus on forage and seed yields. Nitrogen rates (0,30,60,90,120,1501b Nacre) and phosphorus rates (0,30,60,90,180 Ib P,Odacre) were applied to established crested or intermediate wheatgrass once and harvested for either two or three years depending on location. Nitrogen increased dry matter yield by 48 and 62% at the two locations and seed yield by 166 percent. Phosphorus... |
