1. Response of Corn Grown in Two Crop Rotations to Different N Rates and NitrapyrinNitrogen fertilization of corn is necessary to obtain adequate yields. Loss of soil-applied N1-L'-N fertilizers due to nitrification can decrease corn yield significantly. Nitrate contamination of ground or surface water supplies should also be considered. Use of nitrapyrin may help address these issues, though in fine textured soils response to its use is difficult to predict. A 10-year study was done to determine the effects of annual application of ammonia with nitrapyrin upon the yield of continuous... |
2. Field Scale Variability of Corn Yield response Functions to Fertilizer Nitrogen ApplicationVariable rate nitrogen (N) application assumes that corn response to N fertilizer varies within a field. However, this hypothesis has not been formally tested yet. Field variation of corn response to N fertilizer and economically optimum N fertilizer rates (EON) were assessed in on- farm experiments throughout central Illinois. Fields (16 to 32 ha.) were subdivided into 13 to 20 areas. Five nitrogen rates were randomized within these areas in 28 kg N increments (2 rates) and decrements (2 rates)... |
3. Tank-Mixing Micronutrients Fertilizers with Glyphosate- Potential Problem or Efficient SolutionsTANK-MIXING MICRONUTRIENT FERTILIZERS WITH GLYPHOSATE - POTENTML PROBLEM OR EFFICIENT SOLUTION Mark L. Bernards, Kurt D. Thelen, Donald Penner Michlgan State University, East Lansing, MI Summary: Many agribusinesses are currently promoting the application of micronutrient foliar fertilizers in tank-mixtures with glyphosate for increased efficiency in glyphosate-resistant soybean production. This practice is inconsistellt with data which shows decreased glyyhosate efficacy in the presence of the hard-water... |
