1. Winter Wheat Growth and Grain Yield Response to Individual Agronomic InputsProducers’ interested in optimizing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yields have adopted intensive (i.e. high-input) wheat management systems in Michigan. Additional research is required to evaluate growth, grain yield, and profitability of multiple and individual agronomic inputs. An omission field trial was initiated in Lansing, MI during 2015 to evaluate the response of soft red winter wheat to six agronomic inputs in enhanced (high-input) and traditional (low-input) management...

2. Targeting Input Responses and Returns on Intensively-Managed Soft Red Winter WheatConsecutive years of record wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield (81 and 89 in 2015 and 2016, respectively), climate variability, and continued demand from Michigan’s milling and cereal industry have increased interest in intensively-managed (i.e. multiple-input) soft red winter wheat production systems. The objective of this study was to investigate the grain yield and economic profitability of several agronomic inputs across intensive (i.e., multiple- input) and traditional... D. Quinn, K.

3. Effects of Silicon Supplementation on Growth and Silicon Accumulation in Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera)This study assessed the effect of silicon (Si) supplementation on biomass production and Si accumulation of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). Plants were grown in buffered Hoagland’s media (pH 6) with four Na2SiO4 treatments (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 mM). The two species responded differently to Si supplementation in terms of biomass. For bentgrass, biomass was enhanced by Si supplementation, but only significantly (p... S. Qian, J. Unrine, H. Poffenbarger |
