1. Field Scale Fertilizer Recommendations and Spatial VariabilityFertilizer is usually applied at a single constant rate across a field. However, soil fertility may vary considerably within a field. Soil test calibrations (ie recommended fertilizer versus soil test ) are usually obtained from sites with low spatial variability of soil test values (ex. small plots ). These calibrations are then assumed to be valid for large fields with variable soil fertility. The effects of variable soil fertility on the relationship between average crop yield response, average... |
2. Nitrogen Management in Minnesota as Influenced by Soil Drainage and TillageTile-draining, conventional tillage and pre-plant applications of nitrogen (N) fertilizer are prevalent practices among Minnesota corn growers. However, climate change and increasingly warmer and wetter spring conditions have called for a re- evaluation of the appropriateness of these practices for continued sustainable corn production. The objectives of this study are to determine the influence of drainage, tillage and N application timing on (1) corn grain yield and N uptake, (2) corn N demand... G. Paiao, F. Fernandez |
