1. Nitrate Leaching Characteristics for Various Nitrogen Management Strategies on Irrigated CornEfficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer for corn production is important for maximizing economic return to the producer and minimizing NO3 leaching to groundwater. This is especially important on irrigated, sandy soils due to the high infiltration and saturated conductivity and potential risk to the local water supplies. This study is being conducted to quantifL the NO3 leaching potential in the irrigated sands along Kansas' waterways under current and alternative N and water management strategies... |
2. Manure and Fertilizer Management Influence on Soil Nutrient Levels and Grain Yields in Eastern South Dakota from 2003 to 2014Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are required to hold a manure management permit in South Dakota. The permit encompasses available nutrients from manure, crop nutrient use and removal, soil test nitrate-N, and phosphorus and land availability for approved nutrient application rates. The management plan determines if nitrogen or phosphorus based manure application rates are used. Most CAFO’s start out following the nitrogen based plan as soil test phosphorus (P) levels... A.

3. Enhancing Nitrogen Fertilizer Efficiency in Sorghum to Boost Yields and Reduced Nitrogen LossNitrogen management is crucial in modern farming as it plays a major role in achieving higher yields. This study aimed to identify the optimal nitrogen application rate and best management practices to prevent over-application, nitrogen losses, and nitrogen deficiency in crops. Kansas, a leading state in sorghum production, served as the study's setting. Research was conducted at four sites during 2021 and 2022 on rain-fed fields in North-East and North-West Kansas. The objectives... M. Platero, P. Morinigo ferreira, D. Ruiz diaz, P. Tomlinson |
4. Influence of Nitrogen Management and Precipitation on Sorghum Nitrogen Use Efficiency in KansasGrain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a key crop in Kansas which can benefit from optimized nitrogen (N) management that enhances yield while minimizing N losses. Understanding the relationships among physiological efficiency (PE), recovery efficiency (RE), and agronomic efficiency (AE), as well as their interactions with climatic factors such as precipitation, is essential for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Experiments were conducted across five rainfed... M. Platero, D. Ruiz diaz |
