1. Spring Wheat Response to Copper Fertilization in North Dakota

Traditionally, copper responses have been tllought to be associated with organic soils. However, recent Canadian research has found that copper responses by wheat are possible on low organic matter, coarse textured soils. A yield response to copper in spring wheat was found in North Dakota on a coarse textured, low organic matter soil. Yield responses were not found in similar copper soil test levels of higher organic matter, heavier textured soils. A two-tiered recommendation strategy is suggested...
