1. Changes in P Uptake and Partitioning in Soybean Cultivars Released in the Last 90 YearsHistorical changes in nutrient uptake and partitioning of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] were not studied. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 to investigate phosphorus (P) uptake changes and partitioning through the growing season in 25 maturity group (MG) II, and 26 MG III cultivars. Plant samples were taken and partitioned at V4 (four trifoliates), R2 (full bloom), R4 (full pod), R6 (full seed), and R8 (physiological maturity) growth stages. In-season samples were partitioned into... |
2. Nitrogen and Sulfur Application Effects on Soybean Quality and YieldSulfur deficiency is only becoming more prevalent in the Midwest across soybean fields with higher yields resulting in lower quality seed. Sulfur is a key component of methionine and cysteine, which are important amino acids in the nutrition in foodstuffs. The objective in this study is to explore the impact of N:S applications at different growth stages and rates on the soybean yield and seed composition and quality. In 2018 the trial was performed both in West Lafayette and Wanatah Indiana.... D. Miller, S. Casteel |
3. Oh, K? When is Too Much K Too Much?Potassium is required in large amounts by crop plants and is a staple fertilizer, mainly as KCl. Recent data across three midwestern states suggests that sometimes, especially at high rates and shortly before planting, KCl may have negative impacts on corn and/or soybean yields. Three researchers will briefly describe their research in this area and then field questions from the audience. - Kaiser Twenty-nine potassium (K) fertilizer trials were conducted in eastern... D.

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. Nitrogen Effects on Forage Utilization and Economic Returns in Grazing and Haying SystemsForage productivity and profitability are essential in both grazing and haying systems. This study evaluated haying and rotational grazing systems and nitrogen rates compared to overseeding birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculaatus; BFT) on an Armstrong Loam (Aquertic Hapludalfs). Forage biomass was consistently higher under grazing, with its advantage widening as N increased. Both systems displayed diminishing marginal returns, but grazing achieved greater fertilizer efficiency, producing... E. Oppong adjei, R. Carson, J. Lory, K. Nelson |
6. From the Ground Up: a Farmer-Led On-Farm Research Evaluating the Potential of a New Fertilizer Source for Nitrogen in Pastures for MissouriThis research is a part of a transdisciplinary network of farmers leading on-farm research and innovation groups across Missouri, where farmers are leading the design and implementation of nitrogen (N) fertilizer treatments. The Objective of this on-farm research trial in southwest Missouri is to determine whether green lightning fertilizer technology can fulfill the N requirement of pasture in a more economical and sustainable way than the conventional sources of N. The cost of N fertilizer... K. Deep, R. Carson, G. Singh, J. Vredenburgh |
