1. Nitrogen Management for no-till Grain SorghumField experiments evaluating the effects of nitrogen management for no-till dryland grain sorghum were coacted in 1985 and 1986. Nitrogen rates (0, 50, 100 lbs N/A and placement methods for urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) have been evaluated in eastern Kansas. Placement methods have included surface broadcast, surface banded, pressure injected, and knifed. Results to date shm that nitrogen consistently increases yields and tissue and grain N contents, and that method of UAN placement produces... |
2. Quantitative Risk AssessmentThank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today about carcinogens in drinking water and water quality standards. In the United States today, many if not most public water supplies contain chemicals that cause cancer in animals when, in laboratory tests, the animals are exposed to high levels of the chemical. Elost of these chemicals are man-made, but there are exceptions, such as the chlorinated methanes and, probably, related compounds. These chemicals are the byproducts of chlorinating... |
3. Soil Fertility Trends in a Long Term Crop Rotataion-Soil Fertility TrialPenn State soil test recommendations are based on fertilizing for crop response at soil test levels below the critical level for response, maintenance fertilization based on expected crop removal in the optimum range just above the critical level, and finally no fertilizer recommended in the high range. Using a sufficiency level approach, a soil that was at the critical level would have a zero recommendation, however this zero recommendation would not be valid for 3 or 4 years until a new soil test... |
4. Using Soil and Tissue Testing to Predict Soybean Yield Response to Foliar Applied Micronutrients in IowaPrior research with foliar application of micronutrients for soybean has shown inconsistent yield responses in Iowa and the western Corn Belt. Iowa has no interpretations for soil or tissue tests for micronutrients in soybean. This study's objectives were to evaluate soybean plant-tissue and grain yield responses to foliar application of boron (B), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) in Iowa. There were 22 field trials in 2012 and 21 in 2013, which were established in 20 counties and included... |
