1. Maximizing Yield, Income, and Water QualityThose involved with Midwest production agriculture are aware that applications of nitrogen fertilizer can have unintended consequences upon water quality. It is our focus to minimize the potential of such environmental risks by working together to optimize harvest yields, and to maximize nitrogen utilization through the use of science-based initiatives, such as development of nitrogen management systems and N-WATCH. Sustainability of voluntary efforts to minimize the environmental impact of nitrogen... |
2. Maximizing Yield, Income, and Water QualityTo improve farm profitability and minimize environmental impact of nitrogen (N) use by reducing N losses and increasing harvest yield. Nitrogen Management System: A planned approach to N use that achieves better plant utilization and higher harvest yield with less environmental loss. It promotes a multiple application approach to N Management. It reduces early N application rates while emphasizing post-emerge N nutrition. It is about making incremental N applications that will Minimize environmental... |
3. Maximizing Yield, Income, and Water QualityN-WATCH is a management tool designed for N Management Systems to inventory, track, and verify plant-available N in the soil. N Management Systems hedge the risk of N loss by splitting up the N application following the 4Rs of Nutrient Management (Right source, Right rate, Right time, and Right place). It is all about Minimizing environmental impact by Optimizing harvest yield, and Maximizing nutrient utilization. It is all about focusing on M.O.M. Who is eligible: Ag Producers that are adopting... |
4. Maximizing Yield, Income, and Water QualityA program sponsored by the Illinois Council for Best Management Practices (CBMP) to provide local growers an estimate of the location, form, and concentration of plant- available N remaining in the soil. Plant-available N at a point in a field and a point in time can be estimated utilizing this technique and provide information that may help minimize environmental impact by improving harvest yield and maximizing nitrogen utilization. (This is not to be used as a stand-alone N recommendation system.)... |

6. Cover Crops Following Corn Silage and Winter WheatCover crops are widely used in Wisconsin following corn silage or winter wheat harvest to control erosion, but effects on subsequent corn yields and their optimum N rates have not been documented. Two separate studies were conducted to: (1) determine the effect of rye as a cover or silage crop on corn yields at varying N rates and (2) determine the effect of radish on corn yields and optimum N rates. In two of three years, a reduction in corn silage yield was determined following rye silage compared... |
7. Effect of Phosphate and Sulfate Application on Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Grain Selenium Content and Yield ComponentsThe interest in Selenium (Se) has increased due to its potential anti-cancer attributes in human health. Wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) will assimilate Se according to soil availability. There is interest in developing a consiste nt grain supply of high Se wheat for markets in Europe and Asia since plant-available Se in soils of these continents are very low. Agricultural soils in some regions of central and western South Dakota ha ve high Se content. Yet the common plant available forms of Se, selenate... |
