1. Do Soil Nitrogen Tests Relate to Nitrogen Mineralization in First-year Corn Following Alfalfa?Corn (Zea mays L.) is the most frequent first-year crop grown following alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in the Upper Midwest. In the majority of cases, first-year corn does not respond to fertilizer N, but sometimes large amounts are needed to optimize yield. The pre-sidedress and Illinois soil N tests (PSNT and ISNT, respectively) are early-season tests used to predict corn yield response to fertilizer N. These tests measure specific fractions of soil N and define a critical concentration to separate... |
2. A Minnesota-Wide Assessment of Critical Pre-Plant and in-Season Soil Nitrate for Adjusting Nitrogen Rate GuidelinesThe pre-plant (PPNT) and pre-sidedress (PSNT) soil nitrate tests are often used as indicators of soil nitrogen (N) availability in Minnesota. The assessment of available soil nitrogen (N) provides corn (Zea mays L.) growers with key information on N credits to adjust their N fertilizer rates. However, current N management recommendations in Minnesota were based on research conducted 40-yr ago and did not specify differences between environments and management. Through a comprehensive...

3. Nitrogen Dynamics and Agronomic-Environmental Impacts of Annual Vs. Perennial Cover Crops in Irrigated Corn-Soybean Systems on Sandy SoilsIrrigated sandy soils can be highly productive yet vulnerable to Nitrogen (N) losses. Kura Clover (Trifolium ambiguum) living mulch offers an alternative mitigation strategy. However, there is limited research aiming to holistically compare the effect of annual vs. perennial cover crops on season-long N dynamics and agronomic-environmental impacts on corn (Zea Mays L.)-soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cropping systems. This 2-yr study assessed rye (Secale cereale) and Kura... E. Garay lagos, F. Fernández, J. Grossman , V. Sharma, R. Venterea |
