1. Corn Growth and Yield Responses to Pre-plant and In-season Nitrogen CombinationsIn-season N applications may help synchronize N availability with corn uptake but further investigation is needed to validate different combinations of pre-plant and in-season N strategies. Field experiments were initiated in 2014 to investigate corn response to N management programs involving multiple N-placements, timings, and sources applied at a single N rate at two Michigan locations. Nitrogen management programs were grouped into three strategies utilizing broadcast pre-plant incorporated (PPI)... |
2. Site Specific Nitrogen and Irrigation Management Across Nebraska Agro-ecological ZonesNitrogen leaching below hrrow irrigated ground has caused nitrate contamination in Nebraska's groundwater. Alternate row irrigation and alternate row nitrogen fertilization is proposed as a method to decrease water use and decrease nitrogen leaching. Nitrogen was applied at a uniform and variable rates based on spring grid sampling for nitrate and soil organic matter. The experiment was conducted at three sites in Nebraska that represent a range of growing conditions. At these sites the average growing... |
3. Corn Yield Response to Residual Forage Crop Rotation and Manure Amendment Effect in Potato RotationsAccurate prediction of multiple-year N availability froin organic sources is difficult and can complicate nitrogen management for producers using these sources. The objective of this study was to use corn yield and soil N monitoring to evaluate long-term nutrient availability from rotational systems on an irrigated Alfisol in central Michigan. Over a 5-year period, multiple crop sequences were grown with either annual liquid dairy manure at 12,260 L ha-' or conventional mineral fertilizer application... |
4. Evaluation of the Greenseeker Active Sensor for Sugarbeet Cropping System Nitrogen ManagementThe application of adequate, non-excessive rates of N fertilizer to sugarbeets ( Beta vulgaris L.) continues to increase in importance with rising fertilizer costs and industry transitions from yield-based payments to payments weighted towa rd crop quality. The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of an optical sensor for its potential in assessing in-season sugarbeet N status, in-season yield prediction, and total N in foliage on day of harvest. Six N fertilizer treatments, from 0 to 224... |
5. Delayed-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer Effects on In-Season Soil Nitrogen for Michigan Sugarbeet ProductionDelayed-release N fertilizers have received attention for Michigan sugarbeet production as producers seek to improve the timing of N ava ilability to better match plant demand and to maximize plant N use efficiency. The N release ch aracteristics of these products are particularly important in sugarbeet production, where excessive N availability late in the season can have adverse impacts on crop quality. The objective of this research was to evaluate delayed-release N fertilizer sources, alone... |
6. Uptake and Leaching Potential Of Potassium And Sulfur When Split Applied For Corn on Irrigated SoilCoarse textured soils used in irrigated agriculture often face nutrient losses through the soil profile due to low cation exchange capacity (CEC). Split fertilizer application on sandy soils has been recommended for the corn crops in MN to avoid the leaching of fertilizers nutrients. Our study aimed to look at the potential for potassium and sulfur to be taken up or leached out in corn production. Two K and two S fertilizers studies were set up in Minnesota on coarse irrigated soils. Each site had... |
