1. Phosphorus Losses in Runoff Water as Affected by Tillage and Phosphorus FertilizationPhosphorus (P) in runoff from cropland can contribute to nutrient enrichment and eutrophication of surface water bodies. Research was continued during 1996 to determine which tillage systems and which methods of applying P fertilizer will result in the least P losses in runoff water for grain sorghum production under somewhat poorly drained soil conditions in east-central Kansas. The tillage systems evaluated were a chisel-disk-field cultivate system, a ridge-till system, and a no-till system. Fertilizer... |
2. Effects of Chloride From Poultry Litter and Muriate of Potash on Cured Tobacco Leaf QualityPoultry litter is growing more popular as a soil amendment in western Kentucky. due to recent poultry industry expansion. There is concern among the tobacco industry that chloride levels in poultry litter may have detrimental effects on cured leaf quality. A three year study is being conducted at the University of Kentucky to compare availability of chloride fiom poultry litter and muriate of potash and its effect on cured leaf quality. A randomized complete block design structure was chosen, with... |
3. Soil Electrical Conductivity Map Quality- Impact of Interpolation Search Neighborhood ParametersSpatial predictions of soil electrical conductivity (EC) measurements may be improved by adjusting the search neighborhood criteria. The objective of this study was to investigate how varying search parameters impacted the quality of soil EC maps. The three fields cl~osen for this study were from the Inner and Outer Blue Grass physiographic regions of Kentucky. Soil EC was measured by direct contact at all locations. The prediction datasets included EC measurements along transects that were separated... |
