1. Profile Distribution of Available Potassium in Des Moines Lobe SoilsPlant potassium (K) concentrations and soil fertility evaluations to predict available K have received renewed attention during the past few years due to increasing interest in harvesting crop residues as feedstock for production of bioenergy and other bio-products [e.g., button mushroom (Agaricus Bisiporus) compost]. Interest in K crop nutrition has also increased as more producers adopt reduced or no-tillage production practices. This latter situation is not new, because the potential for K deficiencies... |
2. Corn Response to Sulfur Fertilization in Central Iowa SoilsReductions in atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition and increased S removal through continuous cropping have led to S fertilizer responses in many crops. Responses to S fertilization by corn (Zea mays L.), however, have been inconsistent across the upper Midwest. Our objectives with this field study were to: (i) compare S sources for corn vegetative growth and grain yield; (ii) evaluate soil extractable S and S tissue concentrations at different growth stages as S diagnostic tools;...
