1. Tank-Mixing Micronutrients Fertilizers with Glyphosate- Potential Problem or Efficient SolutionsTANK-MIXING MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZERS WITH GLYPHOSATE - POTENTML PROBLEM OR EFFICIENT SOLUTION Mark L. Bernards, Kurt D. Thelen, Donald Penner Michlgan State University, East Lansing, MI Summary: Many agribusinesses are currently promoting the application of micronutrient foliar fertilizers in tank-mixtures with glyphosate for increased efficiency in glyphosate-resistant soybean production. This practice is inconsistellt with data which shows decreased glyyhosate efficacy in the presence of the hard-water... |
2. Soybean foliar manganese recommendations on chronically Mn deficient soils.Soil Mn availability decreases with increasing pH and organic matter concentrations, leading to seasonal Mn deficiency symptoms in soybeans pr oduced on these soils. In Michigan, high pH conditions are often found in alluvial calcareous lakebed soils where conditions lead to low Mn solubility. High organic matter co ncentrations in organic soils reduce Mn availability due to formation of unavailable chelated Mn 2+ compounds and organic complexes in the soil. While Mn deficiencies on lakebed soils... |
3. Use of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizers To Reduce Leaching And Volatilization LossA laboratory study was conducted to explore interactions of N source and treatment with precipitation events on a coarse-textured soil. Nitrogen sources included urea-ammonium nitrate solution (UAN), UAN with additives of either nitrapyrin (Instinct �) or a carboxylated polymer (Nutrisphere-N�), or a polymer-coated dry urea (PCU) (ESN�). These products were applied to soil chambers which allowed measurement of ammonia (NH 3-N) volatilization or nitrate leaching over 31 days. Precipitation events... |
4. Integrating Management Zones and Canopy Sensing for Improved Nitrogen Recommendation AlgorithmsActive crop canopy sensors have been studied as a tool to direct spatially variable nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications in maize, with the goal of increasing the synchrony between N supply and crop demand and thus improving N use efficiency (NUE). However, N recommendation algorithms have often proven inaccurate in certain subfield regions due to local spatial variability. Modifying these algorithms by integrating soil-based management zones (MZ) may improve their accuracy... J. Crowther, J. Parrish, R. Ferguson, J. Luck, K. Glewen, T. Shaver, D. Krull, L. Thompson, N.

5. Comparison of Ground-Based Active Crop Canopy Sensor and Aerial Passive Crop Canopy Sensor for In-Season Nitrogen ManagementCrop canopy sensors represent one tool available to help calculate a reactive in-season nitrogen (N) application rate in corn. When utilizing such systems, corn growers must decide between using active versus passive crop canopy sensors. The objectives of this study was to 1) determine the correlation between N management by remote sensing using a passive sensor and N management using proximal sensing with an active sensors. Treatments were arranged as field length strips in a randomized complete... J. Parrish, R. Ferguson, J. Luck, K. Glewen, L. Thompson, B. Krienke, N. Mueller, T. Ingram, D. Krull, J. Crowther, T.

6. Site-Specific Yield and Protein Response to Nitrogen Rate and Timing in Winter WheatNitrogen (N) fertilizer management is crucial in cereal crop production. Improved prediction of optimal N fertilizer rates for winter wheat can decrease N losses and enhance profits. We tested seven N fertilizer rates (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 kg N ha-1) applied at three timings (Fall, Spring, and Split Fall/Spring) in seven small plot trials located in commercial fields...

7. Impact of Site-Specific Variability on the Effectiveness of Active Canopy Sensors for In-Season N Management in CornIn-season nitrogen (N) management in corn guided by active canopy sensors is often associated with higher yields, profit and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, these benefits could vary from field-to-field and year-to-year. These inconsistent relationships between technology and benefits represent a major challenge for increasing adoption of sensor-based N application in corn. Thus, a better understanding of which site-specific factors determine positive benefits from sensor-based N application... L. Puntel, J. Luck, L. Thompson |
8. Promoting Adoption of Precision Nitrogen Management Technologies Through On-farm ResearchThe Nebraska On-Farm Research Network helps farmers evaluate products and practices that impact the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of their operations. There are many technologies that have potential to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) on corn and winter wheat but typically these technologies have low adoption. At the same time, farmers have technologies such as GPS, yield monitors, and variable-rate application equipment on their farmers that enables them to easily conduct... L. Thompson, L. Puntel, T.

9. Benchmarking Nitrogen Recommendation Tools for Nebraska Winter WheatAttaining high yield and high nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) remains a current research challenge in crop production. Digital ag technologies for site-specific N management have been demonstrated to improve NUE. This is due to the ability of digital technologies to account for the spatial and temporal distribution of crop N demand and available soil N in the field, which varies greatly according to soil properties, climate, and management. In addition, winter wheat protein content is highly... J. Cesario pinto, L. Thompson, N. Mueller, T. Mieno, L. Puntel, G. Balboa |
10. Integrated and Impactful Research and Extension Through Digital On-farm ResearchAdvancements in digital agriculture tools have increased the scale and complexity of agricultural challenges which can be addressed through on-farm research. On-farm research has the potential to center farmers in the discovery and innovation process and integrate the research, extension and teaching missions of the university. Synergistic partnerships with industry advance technology adoption. Thompson will discuss the opportunities to leverage the changing landscape of on-farm experimentation... L. Thompson |
