1. Evaluation of Fertilizer Management in Strip-till and No-till Corn ProductionStrip-tillage for corn production may have advantages over no-till. particularly in areas with heavy soils andlor high rainfall during spring months. With these conditions in no-till systems. planting delays and/or slow, uneven emergence are common. Strip-tillage creates a narrow tilled area for the seedbed ivhile maintaining the intcr-row residue cover, allowing for the erosion protection associated with no-till, yet providing an area in the row where the soil will dry out and warm up earlier in... |
2. Strip Tillage and No Tillage Fertilization Systems Evaluated for Eastern Kansas Rain Fed CornRow-crop agriculture in East-Central and Southeast Kansas is facing increasing pressure to reduce sediment and nutrient losses via runoff. Edge-of-field measurements show that no-tillage with fertilizers placed below the surface of the soil has significantly less sediment and total P losses in runoff compared to conventional tillage (Janssen et al., 2000). However, for rain-fed corn, no-tillage in these regions can provide serious challenges some years because of frequent spring rains and an abundance... |
