1. Effect of Application N timing and Plant Growth Regulator use in WheatWinter wheat is an important cash crop grown in the Midwestern states. However, progress in yield advancement has been slow compared to advances in other major wheat producing regions, notably Euro~e. This has lead to a competitive disadvantage of USA-produced wheat on the world market. In an effort to enhance wheat productivity and profitability a series of experiments were established in the fall of 1985 to assess the impact of more intensified management practices including the use of multiple... |
2. Nitrogen Loss from Sprinkler Applied Beef Feedlot EffluentLoss of nitrogen from sprinkler applied beef feedlot effluent can be costly for both the producer and the environment. Sprinkler application of effluent is common throughout the Great Plains, though little work has focused specifically on N losses from beef feedlot effluent. We quantified ammonia (NH 3) and nitrous oxide (N2O) losses from beef feedlot effluent applications under field conditions including variations in soil pH, soil water content, ammonium (NH 4+) concentration of the effluent, and... |
3. Fertilizer management and cover crop effects on phosphorus use efficiency, environmental efficiency and crop yieldPhosphorus loss from agricultural production is a significant contributor to the degradation and contamination of surface and ground waters. To help protect these waters, it is vital to maximize agronomic and environmental efficiency of phosphorus in the cropping system. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of cover crops and different phosphorus fertilizer management practices on nutrient use efficiency, environmental efficiency and yield in a no-tillage corn-soybean rotation....
