1. Soil Phosphorus Chemistry- Agronomic and Environmental ApplicationsPhosphorus (P) has been a heavily researched topic in soil science for many years. For example, a search of the AGMCOLA database from 1970 to present turned up nearly 6000 citations under the key words soil and phosphorus. The fact that P is essential to all forms of life has promoted these research activities. as one would expect. In addition, the complexity of the soil P cycle has yet to be fully understood and appreciated by the scientific community. Further, while early research focused on correcting... |
2. Nitrogen benefits when interseeding red clover into continuous cornInformation pertaining to the benefits of intereseeding cover crops is lacking. Red clover is a leguminous cover crop that can grow in low radiation environments, is winter hardy for much of the northern USA, and is a low cost weed suppressant that has been shown to provide a nitrogen credit and improve corn yield. While it is clear that red clover is a cover crop that can provide immediate economic benefits in grain-based cropping systems, the potential N credit and the effect of interseeding... H. Francis, M.

3. Can Soil Health Metrics Improve Standard Soil Fertility Recommendations?It is commonly speculated that integrating soil health (SH) testing with soil fertility (SF) testing would improve fertilizer recommendation decisions. However, quantified impacts of SH properties, specifically soil biological properties, on fertilizer demand have not been well established. The objective of this research was to explore corn (Zea mays L.) yield response to phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilization as influenced by established SF analysis and common SH metrics....
