1. Corn uptake of soil- and fertilizer-derived nitrogen in response to rate and timing of fertilizer application.While nitrogen (N) fertilizer is essential for high-yielding corn (Zea mays L.) production, over-application or application of fertilizer N before rapid corn N uptake may result in N loss that negatively impacts the environment and reduces fertilizer use efficiency. To better understand how fertilizer rate and application timing impact corn grain yield and fertilizer recovery in the soil-corn system, six two-year field studies were conducted at Minnesota field sites of contrasting so... |
2. Impacts from Autumn Starter Fertilizer, Late-season Nitrogen, and Fungicide Timing on Winter Wheat Yield, Straw, and QualityIncreased demand for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and climate uncertainties have Michigan growers exploring intensive management strategies to improve both yield and profitability. Field studies investigated the influence of both early and late-season fertilizer applications with multiple fungicide timings on the yield and quality of winter wheat grain and straw. A full-factorial, randomized complete block design investigated two rates of autumn starter fertilizer (AS) (12-40-... K. Steinke, M.K. Suplito, M. Chilvers |
3. Soil Carbon Additions Improve Soil Nutrient Cycling and Yield of CornIncreasing soil organic matter and the associated soil carbon is known to positively influence nutrient cycling, and agronomic practices such as conservation tillage and cover crops can facilitate soil carbon increases in the long term. Alternatively, the direct addition of carbon amendments to the soil may serve as an alternative solution for enhancing nutrient cycling in the short-term, which was the basis for this research. Our objective was to assess the potential of granular carbon amend... D. Danzl, D. Below, D. Sible |
