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. The Influence of Nitrogen Rate and Foliar Fetilization on Yield and Nitrosamine Levels in Burley TobaccoMany burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabactm~ L.) producers believe that additions of nitrogen (N) rates greater than those recommended by university extension senices will result in increased yield and income. In addition to high rates of N, many producers feel that additional foliar fertilizer will further increase yield and quality of burley tobacco and result in greater revenue. Concerns with excessive N additions include improper curing, elevated levels of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNA's), undesirable... |
3. 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... |
4. Soybean and Corn Yield Response to Fertilizar Placement and Tillage SystemNutrient availability and, consequently, yields can be strongly influenced by tillage system and fertilizer placement. Also, different genotypes and rooting systems can affect nutrient uptake and plant growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate fertilizer placement and tillage system effects on yields in soybean and corn with different varieties/hybrids. The experiment was established in two locations in Kansas and the experimental design was a randomized complete block with a split-plot.... |
5. Revamping Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for MissouriMultiple nitrogen fertilizer rate decision tools have been developed over the years for recommending nitrogen to growers. These tools are based on mass balance equations with expected yield and yield goal, economically optimum nitrogen rate, preplant soil nitrate test, pre-sidedress and late spring soil nitrate test, plant tissue nitrogen, crop growth models, and canopy reflectance sensing. These tools rarely include biological nitrogen in the rate recommendations. Advances in soil health assessment... G. Singh , J.A. Lory, K.A. Nelson, M. Davis, L. Abendroth, G. Kaur, J. Calhoun, J.

6. Corn Grain Yield Response to Nitrogen Rate Timing, Source, and Nitrification Inhibitor in MissouriNitrogen response depends on several factors including weather conditions, soil N supply capacity, previous crop in rotation, plant population, and fertilizer management practices. Fertilizer management practices include fertilizer rate, source, application timing, placement, and use of nitrogen stabilizer. In Missouri, the nitrogen fertilizer rate recommendations for corn are based on the yield goal equation. This equation includes the target plant population, pounds of nitrogen removed per thousand...
