1. Optimal Phosphorus Response in Site-specific FarmingSite-specific farming has provided an opportunity to collect large amounts of field data, but traditional agronomic yield response models have not been developed to exploit this mformation. This research presents a yield model that incorporates detailed site-specific field information (e.g., soil pH. soil test P, K, and N, fertilizer rates), providing improved fertilizer decision making. A quadratic yield response function and a modified asymptotic Mitscherlich function are compared for irrigated... |
2. Can Soil Information Better Inform Canopy Sensor Algorithms for Corn?Corn production is often limited by the loss of nitrogen (N) due to leaching, volatilization and denitrification. The use of canopy sensors for making in-season N fertilizer applications has been proven effective in matching plant N requirements with periods of rapid N uptake (V7-V11), reducing the amount of N lost to these processes. However, N recommendation algorithms used in conjunction with canopy sensor measurements have not proven accurate in many fields of the U.S. Cornbelt, resulting in... , N.R. Kitchen, J.

3. Stover Removal Effects on Continuous Corn Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Under IrrigationCorn (Zea mays L.) residue or stover is harvested as supplemental feed for livestock and is a primary feedstock for cellulosic biofuels. Limited information is available on corn residue removal effects on grain yield under different nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates, irrigation rates and amelioration practices to minimize soil carbon loss and soil erosion. A study on a silt loam in south, central Nebraska (2011-2016) evaluated potential interactions between stover removal (residue removal,... M. Schmer, V. Jin, A. Sindelar, R. Ferguson, B. Wienhold |
