1. Some Thoughts on Nutrient Mineralization and Cycling in No-Till SystemsHigh post-harvest residue accumulations (10+ tons/acre) often occur in crop sequences involving high yielding corn, spring wheat and soybean. Over the last decade, we have conducted several studies that show that N or P availability may be suppressed either through slow residue decomposition, slow mineralization or immobilization. Although several states provide fertilizer recommendation adjustments for no-till and for high residue accumulations, the recommendations are sometimes contradictory.... L. Cihacek, R. Alghamdi |
2. Updating Soil-test Phosphorus and Potassium Calibrations for WisconsinEffective soil-test interpretations and fertilizer recommendations require phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) soil test to be field correlated with crop yield response to fertilization and calibrated to identify response probabilities. Only the Bray-1 soil test is calibrated to provide P and K interpretation guidelines in Wisconsin, with supporting trials being over 30 years old. This study correlated the P extracted by the Bray-1 (BP), Mehlich-3, Olsen-P (OP), and H3A tests and K extracted by the... C.A. Laboski, F.J. Arriaga, J.D. Jones |
3. Effects of Soil Phosphorus and Potassium Levels on Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Fertilization, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and ProfitabilityAnnual investment in nitrogen (N) fertilizer for corn production represents a significant portion of annual input costs. Yield response to N fertilization is affected by soil N supply, crop N demand, and interacting factors that affect crop N use, such as phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) supply. To investigate the effects of soil-test P and K levels on corn yield response to N fertilizer, a four-year study was conducted at two southern Wisconsin sites. Soil-test P and K were maintained at low,... J.D. Jones, C.A. Laboksi, F.J. Arriaga |
