1. Soil and Soybean Responses to Planting into Terminated Prairie StripsPrairie strips are a new conservation practice that are currently implemented in 14 Midwest US states. Prairie strips have been shown to reduce runoff, increase soil health, retain sediment and nutrients, increase biodiversity and have no effect on surrounding crop yield. Due to the comprehensive improvements to soil health under prairie strips, researchers and growers are interested in rotating them on 10-15 year cycles. We have little-to-no knowledge on the effects of planting crops in... C. Dutter, M. St cyr, M. Mcdaniel, C. Carley, A. Singh |
2. Revamping Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for MissouriMultiple nitrogen fertilizer rate decision tools have been developed over the years for recommending nitrogen to growers. These tools are based on mass balance equations with expected yield and yield goal, economically optimum nitrogen rate, preplant soil nitrate test, pre-sidedress and late spring soil nitrate test, plant tissue nitrogen, crop growth models, and canopy reflectance sensing. These tools rarely include biological nitrogen in the rate recommendations. Advances in soil health assessment... G. Singh , J.A. Lory, K.A. Nelson, M. Davis, L. Abendroth, G. Kaur, J. Calhoun, J.

3. Evaluation of Dicyandiamide and Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers on Corn Production in Upstate MissouriNitrogen fertilizer is the most yield-responsive nutrient in corn production. In-field variability of soil properties such as organic matter content, drainage class, and microbial activity causes challenges in managing this nutrient which causes reduced yield potential and N-use efficiency. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) could reduce some of this variability by keeping N available to the plant longer. This research evaluated a non-treated control (NTC, 0 lbs N ac-1, dicyandiamide (DCD)... D. Steinkamp, K. Nelson, G. Singh , M. Davis |
4. Corn Grain Yield Response to Nitrogen Rate Timing, Source, and Nitrification Inhibitor in MissouriNitrogen response depends on several factors including weather conditions, soil N supply capacity, previous crop in rotation, plant population, and fertilizer management practices. Fertilizer management practices include fertilizer rate, source, application timing, placement, and use of nitrogen stabilizer. In Missouri, the nitrogen fertilizer rate recommendations for corn are based on the yield goal equation. This equation includes the target plant population, pounds of nitrogen removed per thousand...

5. Industrial Hemp Response to Nitrogen Applications in MissouriIndustrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is gaining attention as a multipurpose crop for fiber, grain, and biomass, but research-based region-specific guidelines on nitrogen (N) management are limited. To address this gap, field experiments were conducted at two locations (Albany, Novelty) in northern Missouri in 2024 & 2025 to evaluate the effects of N applications on industrial hemp growth, biomass, and grain yield. The experiments were laid out as a randomized complete block design... A. Nain, G. Kaur , K. Nelson, G. Singh, M. Davis |
