1. Soybean Response to Nitrogen ApplicationsSoybean yield increases due to N fertilizer have been reported recently, particularly for N applications during the reproductive stages. It is also known that nitrate inhibits nodulat ion and nodule activity and could potentially reduce yield. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of N fertilizer on soybean yield. Forty-six experiments were conducted with N fertilizer applied at times ranging fiom planting to late reproductive stages. Some experiments had significant positive or negative responses... |
2. Site-Specific Nitrogen Management for Reducing Soil Residual NitrateSite-specific N management has potential for increasing the efficiency of N fertilizer use, and thereby reducing environmental impact. Field studies were conducted in 2000 and 2001 to evaluate the potential for site-specific N management to reduce residual soil nitrate in Missouri cornfields. Field-size side-by-side fertilizer N treatment strips were applied in cooperating farmers' fields. The site-specific crop N requirement (optimal N rate) was determined for sub- blocks that contained a full... |
3. Aerial Photos Can Predict Corn Yield Loss Due to N DeficiencyFields that experience wet weather after N fertilizer is applied may lose N and consequently lose yield. Replacing N may be difficult or expensive after corn is too tall for tractor clearance. A tool to assess the degree of potential yield loss would help corn producers decide how much expense is justified in making late N applications. ... |
