1. A Different Approach to Managing Nitrogen in SorghumResearch conducted over the past fifty plus years has been used to develop a Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation "formula" for grain sorghum which considers factors such as Yield Potential, Residual Nitrate N in the soil Profile, the amount of N mineralized fi-om Soil Organic Matter and Previous Crop Residue, and other potential sources of N such as animal manure or N in irrigation water. The current formula used is as follows: N Rec = Yld x (1.6) - (20 x %SOM) - PNST - PCA - Manure N - Water N When... |
2. Nutrient Deficiency Diagnostic Training with Field and Hydroponically Grown CropsThe Manitoba Crop Diagnostic School was initiated in 1995 and annually provides training for 350 - 400 field agronomists over a two week period in mid July. Symptons of nutrient deficiencies, other than Nitrogen (N), have proven difficult to demonstrate on the fertile high organic matter loam texturd soiles of the Carman Researh Station. The following techniques have been developed to demonstrate many of the macro and micronutient deficiencies which may occur in prairie crops.... |
