1. Fertilizer Recommendations- Fact or Fiction Fertilizers are all important and expensive part of the crop production systenl in Indiana. Indiana farmers spend nearly a half billion dollars each year on fertilizer and lime. The question is. is this expense really nccessary? Farmers obtain fertilizer reconlmendations from a number of sources. Soil testing labs. fertilizer dealers. crop consultants and extension all make fertilizer reconunendations. In many cases the reconlmendations are quite different. Is there a valid reason for these differences... Download paper
2. On-The-Go Sensors for variable rate Nutrient Management- Determining Soil K Status with a Flat-Surface Ion-Selective Electrode Traditional soil sampling approaches are frequently not sufficiently spatially dense to characterize within field variability in soil fertiiity. Recent technology advances have demonstrated the feasibility of using automated soil sampling systems and tractor mounted sensors to create nutrient availability maps from more continuous measurements. Our objective was to determine if a flat-surface ion selective K electrode could measure soil K status at field moisture content. Twenty-four agricultural... Download paper
3. Effect of Timing of Broadcast Potassium (K) on Soybean Yield and Seed K Content In Indiana, the common practice is for K fertilizer to be applied in advance of the corn crop for both crops in the rotation, relegating soybean to feed on the application residual. Producers are concerned that current University guidelines and common practices for K management in corn- soybean rotations do not fully recognize the particular K needs of the soybean crop as differentiated from the corn crop. A four-location, six-year field study was conducted to investigate the effects of rate and... Download paper
4. A Different Approach to Managing Nitrogen in Sorghum Research conducted over the past fifty plus years has been used to develop a Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation "formula" for grain sorghum which considers factors such as Yield Potential, Residual Nitrate N in the soil Profile, the amount of N mineralized fi-om Soil Organic Matter and Previous Crop Residue, and other potential sources of N such as animal manure or N in irrigation water. The current formula used is as follows: N Rec = Yld x (1.6) - (20 x %SOM) - PNST - PCA - Manure N - Water N When... Download paper
