1. Residual Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Soil Nitrogen Pools and Corn GrowthNitrogen (N) fertilization of corn (Zea mays L.) may increase, decrease, or not affect the N supplying capacity of the soil. Six field-scale corn N rate trials were established in corn-soybean rotations in diverse soil types across Indiana. Six N rates ranging from about 25 to 270 lb N ac-1 were replicated 4 to 6 times at each site and re-applied to the same plots for each of four corn crops. In the fifth corn season, 2015, half of the replications at each location were supplied... M. Moser, R. Nielsen, J. Camberato |
2. Quantifying the Effects of Nutrient Management and Cover Crops on Soil Microbial Communities and Soybean ProductionAgricultural productivity relies upon microbial communities to cycle nutrients from soil to plant yet little information is available concerning how nutrient management and cover cropping practices influence microbial activity and crop production. Lack of consistent soybean (Glycine max L.) yield response to applied fertilizer has resulted in a need to further investigate management practices focused upon enhancing soil biological activity which in turn may feed the crop. A field study was initiated... |
3. Phosphorus and Potassium Effects on Yield Components, Nutrient Accumulation and Persistence of Alfalfa (Medicago Sativa L.)Our objective was to determine why phosphorus (P) and potassiun~ (K) are essential for high yield by analyzing alfalfa yield components. Plots of P treatments (0, 25. 50, and 75 kg/ha) and K treatnients (0. 100, 200, 300, and 400 kgha) arranged in a factorial design were replicated four times. Forage was harvested four times per growi~lg season (1998-2000), and yield. mass per shoot, shoots per area. and herbage nutrient concentrations determined. In May and December, plants were dug to determine... |
4. Comparison of Nitrogen Recommendation Models for Corn in Two Cropping SystemsSeveral lnodels exist to generate N recommendations, and the model selected can have both economical and environmental implications. A study was initiated in 1998 to compare the response of corn to N in two ci-opping systenls (corn following corn and corn following soybeans). All plots received a starter N rate of 45 kg N ha-' (2 x 2 placement). and five rates of sidedress N (0, 22, 90, 157, and 224 kg N hi') were applied at gro~vth stage V6 either as anhydrous arnmonia or urea-ammonium rli trate... |
5. Corn Yield Response to Residual Forage Crop Rotation and Manure Amendment Effect in Potato RotationsAccurate prediction of multiple-year N availability froin organic sources is difficult and can complicate nitrogen management for producers using these sources. The objective of this study was to use corn yield and soil N monitoring to evaluate long-term nutrient availability from rotational systems on an irrigated Alfisol in central Michigan. Over a 5-year period, multiple crop sequences were grown with either annual liquid dairy manure at 12,260 L ha-' or conventional mineral fertilizer application... |
6. Tillage and Nitrogen Application Methodology Affects Corn Grain YieldMore efficient use of fertilizer nitrogen (N) is essential for improved yields and environmental stewardship. While university N recommendations for corn are based on observations typically made in conventional tillage systems, few universities have established research to evaluate if N recommendations should be different for alternative tillage systems. Generally spealung, no-till or minimum tillage systems have been identified as needing additional N to compensate for microbial immobilization of... |
7. The Future of Soil Fertility - My Two CentsThis presentation will provide information of what a large cooperative is currently providing customers in the realm of nutrient management. Additionally, some insight will be provided on how other aspects of nutrient management (global markets, production technologies, etc) are being evaluated. Finally, some general ideas will be shared regarding the future needs of the retail sector along with some research ideas. ... R. Mullen |
8. Technology, Innovation, and the Future of Soil FertilityThis panel will focused on how technology is being used in the practice of soil fertility and nutrient management. Panelists will also discuss how they’ve incorporated new and old soil fertility concepts into their approach to guiding fertilizer use. Lastly, we will discuss where soil fertility is going as a scientific discipline. ... H.M. Brown, W. Berg, R. Mullen |
