1. Evaluating Relationships between Soil Respiration and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in CornAvailable nitrogen (N) often limits the agricultural production of corn (Zea mays) and the N fertilizer use efficiency is of primary concern for producers in Kansas and the Midwest. This study was carried out to understand the agronomic value of commercially available soil health tests (e.g. 24 hr CO2 burst) and their relationship to components of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in corn. Relationships between N response and soil CO2 evolution were investigated across multiple sites and management... D. Ruiz Diaz, B. Rutter |
2. Comparison of Mehlich-3 and Haney H3A-4 Soil Tests in Kansas SoilsRecommended application rates of soil fertility amendments are often based on a soil test in agricultural production systems. Interpretation of these soil tests requires correlation and calibration to crop yield response, nutrient uptake, or existing soil tests. The Mehlich-3 soil test procedure is currently used to evaluate the plant availability of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in Kansas soils. However, the Haney soil test has gained attention in recentyear and has been used to adjust soil... B. Rutter, D. Ruiz Diaz |
