1. Identification of Reasons for High Temporal Soil-Test Potassium VariationExtensive research has focused on potassium (K) fertlization and soil K testing during several decades in the Corn Belt. IN Iowa, more t han 200 conventional or on-farm strip trials were conducted since the iddle 1990s until the early 2000s. Results of this research were used to update Iowa State University (ISU) K recommendations in 1999 and in 2002. In spite of increasd knowledge about soil-test K calibration, K fertilizer placement meethods, and needed K fertilizer rates, this research demonstrated... |
2. Introgressing Unique Sources of Germplasm to Improve N Use in Temperate MaizeThe vast majority of maize breeding efforts have been conducted under high N environments that primarily select for only one component of NUE, N uptake. Furthermore, these studies have employed US. and European genotypes, which have been selected for performance at high N. Historically, maize was grown in numerous low N tropical environments, suggesting that evaluation of adapted maize lines containing tropical germplasm may harbor useful genetic variation and novel alleles for improving NUE. The... |
3. Soil and Soybean Responses to Planting into Terminated Prairie StripsPrairie strips are a new conservation practice that are currently implemented in 14 Midwest US states. Prairie strips have been shown to reduce runoff, increase soil health, retain sediment and nutrients, increase biodiversity and have no effect on surrounding crop yield. Due to the comprehensive improvements to soil health under prairie strips, researchers and growers are interested in rotating them on 10-15 year cycles. We have little-to-no knowledge on the effects of planting crops in... C. Dutter, M. St Cyr, M. Mcdaniel, C. Carley, A. Singh |
