1. Probability of Success for Practices to Minimize Water Quality ProblemsI would like to spend my time this morning reviewing with you some of the practices and appraoches research has suggested as being useful in controlling quality of both surface water and groundwater. Given the limited time available, I will highlight only a few of the study findings, and confine my remarks primarily to the problems of nitrogen pollution of groundwater and phosphorus contamination of surface waters. This limited review is prompted more by what I perceive to be the major interests... |
2. Performance of Early vs. Late Maturing Corn Hybrids in MichiganThe planting of fill-season, or late maturing hybrids in Michigan is encouraged by their tendency to produce higher yields. Full-season hybrids can take advantage of the entire growing season available at a particular location. Shorter season hybrids reach physiological maturity sooner and generally yield less. Recent experience with cool, wet springs resulting in delayed planting, and growing seasons that provided less growing degree days (GDD) than normal has caused corn producers to question the... |
