1. Organic Nutrient And Weed Management With Sweet Corn On Sandy SoilThe Central Sands region of Wisconsin is host to commercial-scale vegetable production, requiring intense nitrogen (N) fertilization. The limited nutrient holding capacity and minimal organic matter content of sandy soils in the Central Sands contributes to water nitrate contamination. Organic management may help to alleviate problems associated with leaching by increasing organic matter and nutrient retention in this soil. For organic agriculture to be feasible in this region, organic N inputs... |
2. 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... |
