1. Planting Equipment for No-tillPlanters or drills have to cut and handle the residue, penetrate the soil to desired seeding depth, and establish proper seed-to-soil contact. Keeping these three items in mind, a producer can evaluate the strengths or weaknesses of any piece of planting equipment and make any adjustments or changes necessary to make no-till planting successful. Fortunately. most currently available planters and drills can be used for no-till with few, if any, modifications. In the early days of no-till, producers... |
2. Preparing for No-till Planting into CRP LandAs CRP contracts expire, many producers are considering bringing the land back into crop production. In order to conserve soil and water, and to keep the soil building benefits of idling the land for ten years, no-till is the best production system to use. Tillage will destroy the soil structure that has built up from the freeze-thaw and wetting-drying cycles. In addition, it will plant surface weed seeds and stimulate seeds which have been buried for the last ten years. Tillage will also fluff and... |
3. Sulfur Responses and the Wisoconsin Alfalfa Sulfur SurveyFor more than 30 years, agronomists, soil scientists, consultants and farmers have recognized the potential for significant responses to applied sulfur fertilizer in northern and western Wisconsin on lighter textured, low organic matter soils that had not recently received manure (Rand et al., 1969; Hoefi and Walsh, 1975; Schulte, 1976; Peters and Kelling, 1987). More recently, crop consultants and others have reported seeing sulhr responses on soils or in locations where they typically were not... |
4. Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates and Nitrification Inhibitor Impact Agronomic and Economic Returns in Corn Production in KansasNitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for corn crop, higher grain yields are related to N fertilizer application. Substances like the nitrification inhibitors (NI) were created to increase yields, promote Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE), and reduce N losses. The study was carried out in ten site-years in Kansas during 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 crop seasons, with the objective of evaluate the Nitrogen Agronomic Efficiency (NAE) in corn with and without the use of NI and to compare corn grain...
