1. Soil Phosphorus Spatial Distribution in Pastures Receiving Poultry Litter ApplicationsEnvironmentally-based P management strategies could be improved by debeating management zones incorporating the effects of landscape position on soil morphology, hydrology, and soil P distribution. Three farm pasture sites in SW Missouri receiving long-term poultry litter applications were sampled by landscape position (summit, shoulder, upper backslope. middle backslope, lower backslope, footslope, drain) for soil P (Bray 1 P, CaCl2 P, total P) at two depths (0-5 cm, 5- 15 cm). Low landscape positions... |
2. Nitrogen Management of Temporary Waterlogged Soil to Improve Corn Production and Reduce Environmental N LossDuring the 2011 growing season excessive soil moisture in the Unites States accounted for at least 30% of the total crop loss to environmental stresses resulting in more than $3 billion dollars in insurance indemnities paid to farmers. The objectives of this study were to: (i) assess grain yield and N silage uptake for both rescue and non-rescue treatments of different enhanced efficiency products, (ii) determine soil N content among treatments throughout the growing season, and (iii) evaluate PCU... |
3. Enhanced Efficiency Phosphorus Application for a Corn-Soybean RotationPhosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient that is taken up by plants as inorganic ions (H 2PO4- and HPO 4 -2) found in soil solution. With higher fer tilizer costs, farmers are evaluating application rates and considering enhanced effi ciency phosphorus applications or treatments. AVAIL®(Specialty Fertilizer Products, Leawood, KS), NutriLife Max® (Advanced Microbial Solutions, Pilot Point, TX), and P ₂O ₅ Max (Rosen's Inc., Fairmont, MN) are three products that are intended to enhance the... |
4. Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Claypan Soils Due to Fertilizer Source and Tillage/Fertilizer PlacementNitrogen fertilization for agricu ltural production is a major contri butor to increased soil nitrous oxide emissions. These emissi ons may contribute to global warming and ozone depletion. Nitrogen fertilizer source and placeme nt can influence soil nitrous oxide (N 2O) emissions by affecting the concentration of ammonium and nitrat e available for nitrification and denitrification throughout the growing season. The objectives of this research were to quantify the effect of tillage / fertilizer... |
