1. Site-Specific Management of Iron Deficiency in CornThe addition of FeS04mH20 in the seed row increases corn (Zea mays L.) yield in areas with Fe deficiency-induced chlorosis. Our objectives were to determine the correct application rate of FeS04.H20 for irrigated corn, identi9 the spatial distribution of Fe deficiency, and alleviate deficiency symptoms with targeted FeS04.H20 applications. Eleven site-years were selected for small-plot studies in western Kansas. At these fields, soil CaC03 content in chlorotic or problematic deficient areas of the... |
2. Soil Nitrogen Mineralization In Different Tobacco Tillage-Rotation SystemsSoil nitrogen mineralization, the microbial and biochemical transformation of organic N (e.g. proteins) into inorganic N compounds (e.g. NH 4+, NO3-), is of central importance to the nitrogen management and productivity of agricultural soil. Effects of different burley tobacco tillage and crop rotation systems on net soil N mineralization were studied, their correlation with soil organic matter, and the vertical distribution of mineralized N. Net soil N mineralization was measured by long-term aerobic... |
