1. Phosphorus Losses in Runoff Water as Affected by Tillage and Phosphorus FertilizationPhosphorus (P) in runoff from cropland can contribute to nutrient enrichment and eutrophication of surface water bodies. Research was continued during 1996 to determine which tillage systems and which methods of applying P fertilizer will result in the least P losses in runoff water for grain sorghum production under somewhat poorly drained soil conditions in east-central Kansas. The tillage systems evaluated were a chisel-disk-field cultivate system, a ridge-till system, and a no-till system. Fertilizer... |
2. 4R Nutrient Stewardship: A Component Of Agricultural Non-Point Source PolicyA challenge of agriculture is to increase production and feed the world without adversely affecting the environment. Fortunately, there is an immediate connection between applying the 4Rs (the right fertilizer source at the right rate, the right time and in the right place) and their beneficial impacts on crop performance, soil health and decreased environmental pollution. While any approach to addressing non-point source nutrient losses from agriculture must involve fertilizer best management practices... |
3. Minnesota Long-Term Phosphorus Management Trials: Phase I, The Build PeriodPhosphorus (P) fertilizer recommendations are usually made using one of two philosophies, Build and Maintain or Sufficiency. In recent years, the Sufficiency approach has been questioned because of concerns of reducing soil test levels and yield sustainability and whether it has the same yield potential as the Build and Maintain approach. Trials were initiated in 2010 at six locations across Minnesota to develop various soil test P Interpretation Classes in replicated experiments. The initial phase... |
