1. Flooded Soil Syndrom and P Deficiencies on Four Iowa SoilsSeveral million acres of Midwest cropland were inundated during the floods of 1993. The length of inundation was from a few days to several months. In some areas growing crops were drowned out and other fields could never be planted. As the water receded and acres of barren ground were exposed, the reality of the disaster gave way to concerns for the 1994 crop and the development of Flooded Soil Syndrome. Flooded Soil Syndrome produces' symptoms similar to Fallow Syndrome which was originally identified... |
2. Nitrogen Fertilizer Efficiency in a Long-term Research TrialIn 1993, a long term crop rotation study (The Living Field Laboratory) was initiated at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, Hickory Corners, MI, designed to investigate the benefits of cover crops in various integrated systems compared to a conventional system without cover crops. Today, with the rising cost of production (i.e. energy and fertiliz er) and continued environmental concerns, there are strong incentives for corn pr oducers to accurately assess N requirements and improve fertilizer efficiency.... |
3. Soybean Production Research: A National ApproachU.S. soybean growers are looking for alternative methods to increase soybean yields and recent increases in commodity prices have given producers more freedom to invest in additional crop inputs or products. Unfortunately, quality data from studies addressing multiple contemporary inputs is scarce. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of combined soybean inputs on seed yield. These high input systems were tested in six states to evaluate their value across a broad geography.... |
4. Evaluation of Four Iron Sources for the Control of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis in SoybeanIron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a destructive disorder of soybeans grown on calcareous soils in the North Central region. Certain chelates are effective at preventing IDC, but the quality of commercial-grade materials varies. The objective of this greenhouse study was to compare the ability of four commercial iron fertilizers to prevent IDC in soybeans. The four sources were a high-quality FeEDDHA product (FeEDDHA-1), an FeEDDHA product of lower quality (FeEDDHA-2), FeEDDHSA, and FeHBED. The... H. Ohm, R. Goos |
5. Biomass and Nitrogen Partitioning of the Modern Russet Varieties of Potatoes Under Nitrogen Stressed and Optimum ConditionsWisconsin is the third largest producers of potatoes in the USA. Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in the development of crop biomass and yield. N uptake and partitioning in potato can be different based on the varieties and nutrient availability. These differences can result in the wide variations in yield accumulation and nitrogen use efficiencies. However, there is a lack of quantitative understanding of the in-season N uptake and demand and biomass partitioning of the different varieties... A. Rawal, M.D. Ruark, R.A. Lankau, J. Ross |
