1. Project Sense: Sensors for the Efficient Use of Nitrogen and Stewardship of the Environment. An On-Farm Research Effort to Increase Adoption of Sensor Based N ManagementLow nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has been attributed to several factors including asynchrony between nitrogen (N) fertilizer application, crop demand, and spatial variability (Shanahan et al., 2008). Sidedress applied N synchronizes crop uptake demand for N, but does not address the spatial and temporal variability that exists in a field year to year. Active crop canopy sensors provide an ability to monitor and respond to spatial and temporal N variability for a given field. A three-year project,... B. Krienke, R. Ferguson, J. Luck, L.

2. Soil pH and Corn-Soybean Rotation Yield Responses to Limestone Applications and TillageFarmers growing corn and soybean in northwest Iowa must carefully consider liming needs and economics. This is because of high liniestone material cost and the fact that soils in northwest Iowa have high pH subsoil, which can moderate negative effects of acid surface soils. Another factor that must be considered is the variable effect from limestone mixing depth associated with different tillage systems. An experiment designed to evaluate six rates of aglime (0 to 6,000 Iblacre of effective calcium... |
3. Evaluation of soybean response to in-season potassium fertilizationIn-season application of potassium (K) fertilizer may offer an alternative to remediate deficiencies developed during the growing season. The objective of this study was to determine soybean (Glycine max) response to topdress K application timing under deficient soil conditions. Treatments included a control (0 lbs K2O acre-1), 50 lbs K2O acre-1 pre-plant incorporated, and 50 lbs K2O acre-1 in-season broadcasted at the... D.A. Charbonnier, D.A. Ruiz Diaz, M.A. Coelho |
