1. Recent Perspectives for Starter Fertilizer Use on Corn in MinnesotaApplication of fertilizer with the seed at planning has been a popular choice for Minnesota corn farmers to get their crop off to a fast start. Traditionally the salt index of a fertilizer has been important in farmers' management decisions. A research study was conducted at six locations on fine and coar se textured soils around Minnesota. Three fertilizer grades, 4-10-10, 10-34-0, and 3-18-18 were compared at two rates and in three placements relative to the seed. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)... |
2. Precision Phosphorus Management for SoybeanSoybean responds to phosphorus fertilization in the Midwest. Most correlation and calibration data suggests that soybean is less responsive than corn. Because of this. normal management in the Upper Midwest is to fertilize before the corn crop in a corn-soybean rotation for both the corn crop and following soybean crops. This saves the cost of one application and the logistical problem of fertilization with P after a corn harvest. This management works well in soils tvith a pH less than 7.4 and... |
