1. The New Wisconsin Soil Test Recommendation ProgramThe modern Wisconsin soil testing program was originally developed in the early 1960's. It was revised rather thoroughly in 1970 and again in 1981. New research advances, additional correla- tion and calibration data, changes in user needs, and shifts in philosophical viewpoint make it necessary to periodically review the soil testing program and the recommendations that emanate from that program. The current revision is an attempt to incorporate additional research, eliminate certain inconsistencies... |
2. Nitrogen Availability, Time of Release and Movement in RotationsPrevious studies have found that N is released through the decomposition of sugarbeet tops (Moraghan and Smith, 1996: Reitmeier et a]., 1999). There is also evidence that N credits may be justified following other broadleaf crops, such as potato and sunflower. This evidence follows work by Vanotti and Bundy (1995) and Bundy et al. (1 993) suggesting that N credits from annual legumes are provided not by decomposition ofthe roots or release ofN directly into the soil from the roots as some might assume,... |
3. Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Distribution and Gaseous Flux Due to Landscape Position and Temperate Alley-Cropping Practices in an Agricultural WatershedSoil NzO and COz efflux can be stimulated by agricultural practices whlch may contribute to an enhanced global warming effect. However, the efflux of these two gases in response to landscape position and soil conservation management practices such as contour strips in a temperate agoforestry alley cropping system has not been extensively studied. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of alley cropping and landscape position on soil total organic C and total N distribution and N20... |
