1. Comparison of Congranulated Fertilizer to Blends with S and Zn in Corn and SoybeansHigh yielding corn and soybean production systems in Missouri have renewed an interest in micronutrient management such as sulfur (S) which is essential for protein formation and zinc. (Zn) which is important for enzymes and metabolic reactions. Yield increases due to sulfur applications are more likely to occur during cool, wet springs when mineralization and crop growth are slow as a result of a decrease in atmospheric sulfur deposition. Soil tests in 2010 indicated that over 60% of the samples... M. Caldwell, K. Nelson, B. Burdick |
2. Chloride Fertilization on Wheat, Corn, and Grain SorghumResearch in the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Great Plains has documented positive cereal grain responses to chloride (CI) fertilization. Field research was conducted in Kansas evaluating CI fertilization on winter wheat, corn, and grain sorghum. Chloride fertilization consistently and significantly increased plant CI concentrations in all crops. Chloride fertilization increased grain yields or one or more winter wheat cultivars at 3 of 4 sites. The most dramatic yield increases were at the... |
3. Evaluation of Nitrogen Management Practices in No-till Corn ProductionExperiments were conducted fiom 1995 to 1998 at the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center of the University of Illinois and the Belleville Research Center of Southern Illinois University to evaluate agronomically and economically several nitrogen (N) management options, including the use of the urease inhibitor Agrotaii, in no-till corn production. Compared in these studies were N sources (urea, UAN, ammonium nitrate, and anhydrous ammonia), placement (dribble vs. broadcast for surface-applied N and... |
