1. Response to Starter Applied Sulfur in Combination with Nitrogen and Phosphorus Across a LandscapeCorn ( Zea Mays L.) response to starter fe rtilizer combinations containing sulfur were studied using a replicated strip trial methodology. Combinations of ni trogen (20 lbs N), phosphorus (20 lbs P 2O5), and sulfur (25 lbs S) were applied two inches beside and below the seed with the planter and compared with a no-starter control a nd 25 lbs broadcast sulfur. Early plant growth was consistently increased by starter P and so metimes by starter N, while sulfur uptake was increased by S and P application.... |
2. Cereal Rye Cover Crops Mitigate Soil Phosphorus Stratification from Long-term No-tillageMinimal or no-tillage is a widely adopted soil conservation practice and has been documented to reduce soil erosion, increase soil organic matter, and even reduce nutrient losses. Without tillage cultivation, however, phosphorus (P) can become stratified in surface soil layers and this may limit availability to crops or even increase bioavailable-P losses. Our primary objective was to measure the long-term (12-year) effects of long-term no-tillage (NT), cereal rye cover crops (CC), and their interaction... R.W. Barker, M.J. Helmers, M.D. Mcdaniel |
