1. Soybean Response to Potassium Rates and PlacementSoils of northeast Missouri in heavy soybean producing counties have generally become depleted of available potassium. Reason for depletion can largely be pointed to soybean production and a general perception that soybeans do not respond to direct fertilizer application. With a significant portion of the soybean acres in east and northeast Missouri being tenant farmed, efficiency and utilization of direct fertilizer application by the current crop is even more important to the grower. Band application... |
2. Site-Specific Prediction of Soybean Nitrogen ContributionsSoybean has long been recognized for its nitrogen (N) contributions and yield enhancing effects in crop sequences. Soybean N credits in the Midwest range fiom 20 to 40 Ib of Nlacre (Kurtz et al., 1984). Several Midwestern states recommend a legume credit of 40 Ib of Nlacre following an average crop of soybean. Current Wisconsin recommendations suggest a reduction in nitrogen fertilizer rates for corn following soybean of 1 Ib N hushel of soybean yield up to a maximum credit of 40 Ib Nacre (Kelling... |
3. Site-Specific Manure Application Effects on Corn Yield and N StatusManure, a renewable resource, is an excellent source of nutrients that can be substituted for synthetic types of fertilizers. The organic matter in manure can enhance the physical and chemical properties of soils, especially infertile soils, as these soils typically contain low levels of organic matter and nutrients, and have low water holding capacities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of manure application for improving crop yield and N status in less productive areas within... |
