1. Biochar: Waste, or Product?Nutrient losses following summer and fall manure applications result in economic and water quality problems. We tested the potential of biochar (BC) and ammonium thiosulphate (ATS) as manure additives to retain nutrients by reduci ng nitrate pool size and runoff of N and P. To determine appropriate rates to use in field expe riments, the compounds were initially added at different rates to liquid swine manure (LSM) then the slurry mixed with soil and incubated. The selected rates, based on N transformations,... |
2. Targeting Input Responses and Returns on Intensively-Managed Soft Red Winter WheatConsecutive years of record wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield (81 and 89 in 2015 and 2016, respectively), climate variability, and continued demand from Michigan’s milling and cereal industry have increased interest in intensively-managed (i.e. multiple-input) soft red winter wheat production systems. The objective of this study was to investigate the grain yield and economic profitability of several agronomic inputs across intensive (i.e., multiple- input) and traditional... D. Quinn, K.

3. Winter Wheat Growth and Grain Yield Response to Individual Agronomic InputsProducers’ interested in optimizing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yields have adopted intensive (i.e. high-input) wheat management systems in Michigan. Additional research is required to evaluate growth, grain yield, and profitability of multiple and individual agronomic inputs. An omission field trial was initiated in Lansing, MI during 2015 to evaluate the response of soft red winter wheat to six agronomic inputs in enhanced (high-input) and traditional (low-input) management...
