1. Assessing the Benefits of Radish as a Cover CropOilseed radish (Raphanus sativus L) is a popular cover crop for no-till farmers in Wisconsin, especially among those that include winter wheat in rotation since radish can accumulate large amounts of nitrogen (N). However, previously presented research in Wisconsin has not shown a clear N credit for a subsequent corn crop. Additionally, there is a lack of information that quantifies other benefits of radish, including compaction reduction and nematode suppression. The objective of this project was... |
2. Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertiizers Release in an Illinois SoilThe release rates of ammonium and nitrate from applications of enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers to soil is not well understood. A better knowledge of th e soil processes involved with N release could allow for greater acceptance of these fertilizers. The objective of this study was to compare traditional quick release fertilizers w ith enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizers to examine their release rates. Th e fertilizers chosen were urea and a polymer-coated urea, which were applied to... |
