1. Changes in P Uptake and Partitioning in Soybean Cultivars Released in the Last 90 YearsHistorical changes in nutrient uptake and partitioning of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] were not studied. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 to investigate phosphorus (P) uptake changes and partitioning through the growing season in 25 maturity group (MG) II, and 26 MG III cultivars. Plant samples were taken and partitioned at V4 (four trifoliates), R2 (full bloom), R4 (full pod), R6 (full seed), and R8 (physiological maturity) growth stages. In-season samples were partitioned into... |
2. NUE in Practice: Will N-efficient Corn Hybrids Sell?Efficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is becomi ng increasingly important in corn production due to rising N fertilizer prices and growing concer ns about N contamination of ground and surface waters. Seed companies are also beginning to develop hybrids with N use efficiency (NUE) improved through trait introduction. The introduc tion of such hybrids will bring new questions about the value of higher NUE, and about risk ma nagement associated with decreasing, or not increasing, N use rates as... |
3. Nitrogen Application, Biological N Fixation, and N UptakePrevious collaborative research in the Midwest has shown that there is likely little to no need of N for soybean, except under certain conditions (such as when low soil moisture limits N fixation, or when low initial soil nitrate-N limits overall N availability). However, none of the site-years used in this synthesis analysis were on sandy soils. Because sandy soils supply little nitrate-N, the potential impact of N on crop yield is greater in sandy environments than on silt loam soils. However,... A.M. Walters, M.D. Ruark, J.M. Gaska, C.
