1. Phosphorus Fertilization Improves the Quality of Stockpiled Tall FescueStockpiling tall fescue is a recommended practice for increasing profitability of beef cattle production. However, little information is available on the mineral element composition of tall fescue pastures stored for winter grazing. In fact. analysis of the few studies reported indicates that both phosphorus and nlagnesium levels may be low in stockpiled tall fescue by late winter. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of phosphorus fertilization on improving the nutrient quality... |
2. Utilizing the Greenseeker to Evaluate Spring Wheat Growth and YieldThere is currently little information on the use of existing sensor-based technologies for in- season application of nitrogen (N) to spring wheat (Triticttm aestivztm L.) in the northern Great Plains. Over the past decade researchers in the southern Great Plains have developed the Greenseeker as a tool for on-the-go N application to winter wheat. Field experiments were established in Brookings and Gettysburg, SD to evaluate the Greenseeker Hand Held optical sensor (NTech Industries, Ukiah, CA) for... |
3. Sensor-Based Fertigation Management for Production-Scale ApplicationsFertigation, the practice of applying fertilizer through irrigation water, offers many benefits as an in-season nitrogen application technique for irrigated corn production systems. Most notably, fertigation offers growers the opportunity to make multiple applications throughout the growing season, including late season applications during corn reproductive growth stages. Growers have traditionally determined the timing and number of fertigation applications using visual observations, irrigation... J. Stansell |
