1. Assessment of Nitrogen Supply From Poultry Manure Applied to CornThe production of poultry in the state of Iowa is one of the largest in the nation and growth has continued the past few years. Currently Iowa is the number one egg producing state in the USA (USDA, 2005). This increase in production also implies an increase in manure production from poultry sources. The common end use of manure is application for crop production. Concerns exist- regarding application at rates higher than needed for crop use, with potential for contamination of water bodies due... |
2. Evaluation of Fertilizer Placement for Corn with Contrasting Rooting SystemCorn genetic improvements in recent year⤙s generated hybrids adapted for water limited conditions (drought tolerant-DT). Drought tolerant hybrids were developed with conventional breeding selection process, and therefore selected based on certain characteristics such as growth habits and root system. New transgenic DT corn hybrids are also becoming available to producers. A previous study demonstrated that corn response to starter fertilizer application can vary by hybrid (Gordon et al, 1997).... |
3. Evaluating the Interaction between Chelated Fe Source and Placement on Phosphorus Availability in SoybeanIn agriculture, chelating agents are used to supplement micronutrients, such as iron (Fe). However, little research has been conducted on a field scale to evaluate chelating agent effects on phosphorus (P) uptake. The objectives of this study were to evaluate four commercially available chelated Fe sources on early soybean growth and nitrogen (N), P, and potassium (K) uptake. The study was conducted at two locations, and the experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications... |
4. Evaluation of Secondary and Micronutrient for Soybean Production in KansasSecondary and micronutrients are being increasingly studied for their potential to contribute to yield increase. The objective of this study was to evaluate soybean response to secondary and micronutrient fertilizer application to maximize yields. A randomized complete block design was employed with four replications, at five locations during 2013 and five locations in 2014. Treatments consisted of micronutrient fertilizer as individual nutrient for B, Cu, Mn, S and Zn, in addition to a mix of these... |
5. Fertilizer Placement and Tillage Interaction in Corn and Soybean ProductionDifferent tillage systems can affect the availability of phosphorus (P) in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects and interaction of fertilizer placement, tillage, and varieties/hybrids for corn and soybean. The experiment was established at two locations in Kansas in 2014. The experimental design was a factorial in a randomized complete block with four replications. Three fertilizer treatments were combined with two tillage systems and two varieties/hybrids of soybean... |
6. Winter Annual Weeds Affect Nitrogen Availability for No-Till CornWinter annual weeds effects on nitrogen availability have not been adequately studied. The objective of this study was to determine winter annual weed s effects on nitrogen availability for rainfed no -till corn (Zea mays L.) following soybeans ( Glycine max L. Merr.). Field research was conducted in 2010-2011 at 14 sites with heavy winter annual weed pressure in eastern Kansas. A two -factor factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications included t hree herbicide... |
7. Winter Annual Weeds Effect on Corn Response to NitrogenThe timing to control winter annua l weeds is a management concern for producers. In regards to corn response to nitrogen, the objective was to determine how important the timing of winter annual weed control is for no-till, rainfed co rn production following soybeans by assessing: soil water and nitrate; early growth and nitrogen uptake of corn; nitr ogen status of corn at silking- blister; and grain yield. Field research was conduc ted in 2010 at seven locations in Kansas. There were four different... |
