1. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Dynamics Throughout Corn Growing SeasonPhosphorous is an essential plant nutrient and is the second most common fertilizer nutrient applied in crop production. The role of mycorrhizal fungi in phosphorous (P) nutrition of corn (Zea mays L.) in high fertility soils in unclear. A study was conducted to determine the effect of extractable P on myco~hizal biomass and to evaluate the temporal dynamics of mycorrhizal fungi during the growing season in two irrigated corn fields in Nebraska. The objectives were addressed by the installation of... |
2. Crop Residue Removal Effects on Soil PropertiesThree large challenges facing mankind are the n eed to feed a rapidly growing population, increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and reliance on fossil fuels. Expectations from agriculture include produ ction of food and fiber to meet demands, management of agricultural systems to sequester carbon and redu ce emission of other greenhouse gases, and provision of feedstock for a rapidly expanding biofuels industry. Some discussions involving use of crop residue for biofuel... |
3. Winter Wheat Residue Management Affects Corn Grain Yield and Nitrogen RequirementWinter cereal cover crops are effective in reducing the nitrate-N (NO3-N) leaching from corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) fields. An experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement and four replicates to study wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cover crop management practices on corn grain yield and nitrogen (N) requirement (economic optimum N rate; EONR). The main plots were four cover crop (CC) treatments:... F. Adeyemi, O. Adeyemi, E. Brevik, A. Sadeghpour |
