1. Evaluation of Crop Canopy Sensors as a Tool for Soybean Research and ProductionDetermining the variables that consistently increase yields in soybean  [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] continues to challenge researchers, agronomists and growers alike. Crop canopy sensors have emerged as a technology used in other cropping systems to monitor and manage agricultural inputs. The sensors measure reflectance in selected wavebands that are used to calculate vegetation indices that relate to unique leaf or canopy characteristics. The objectives of this study were to determine if a commercially... |
2. Cover Crop Species and Planting Methods Influence on Corn N Requirement in Southern IllinoisIt is well established that planting cover crops prior to corn (Zea mays L.) can influence soil temperature, moisture, and nitrogen (N) dynamics. These changes in soil along with the effects of cover crop on corn plant population can influence corn grain yield and N requirement. Two strategies to facilitate corn establishment and avoid N immobilization especially in winter cereal cover crops is by mixing cover crop species or skipping the corn row (precision planting). A randomized complete... A. Sadeghpour, C. Kula, G. Sener, C. Vick |
3. Agronomic Management of Nitrogen to Reduce N2O Emissions in ManitobaNitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil accounts for about 20% of Manitoba’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Numerous and recent field research has evaluated these emissions as influenced by nitrogen (N) management practices – such as use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs), fertilizer placement and timing, use of legume and cover crops and organic farming. Several practices result in considerable decreases in N2O emissions, across a wide... J. Heard, M. Tenuta |
