1. Influence of Potassium, Sulfur, and Zinc Fertilizer on Corn and Soybean Grown on High Tetsing SoilThe influence of potassium, sulfur and zinc fertilizer on corn and soybean yields grown on high testing soils was studied at two locations in Eastern South Dakota over a period of six years. Treatments were 50 Ibla K,O, 25 Ibla sulfur and 5 Ib/a zinc. The treatments were applied to the same plots at each location every year. Soil test levels were in the high range for all elements in question and additional nutrients would not have been recommended by the South Dakota State University Soil Testing... |
2. Sulfur Influence on Corn and Soybean Yields in Eastern South DakotaClean air legislation, the increasing use of conservation tillage, and the manufacture of phosphorus fertilizers without sulfur have all contributed to lowering soil sulfur (S) availability to crops. Soil S availability has been affected to some extent by all three issues in eastern South Dakota. Hilltop erosion has exposed subsoil in which the pH is higher and organic matter content is lower than at lower landscape positions. In some eroded shoulder positions of the landscape in no-till fields.... |
3. Influence of Soil Test Phosphorus on Phosphorus Runoff Losses from South Dakota SoilsApplications of manure and fertilizer phosphorus (P) to soil in excess of optimal crop requirements leads to a buildup of soil test phosphorus (STP) and increases the risk of offsite transfer of P during heavy precipitation events. The first step to developing effective manure and fertilizer P application strategies for South Dakota is to evaluate the relationship that exists between soil and runoff P. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine the relationship between STP and runoff P concentrations... |
4. Adapt-N: A Computational Tool for Precise N Management in CornCurrent approaches to estimation of optimum N fertilizer rates are based on mass balances, average expected economic return based on field experiments, soil N tests, an d crop leaf or canopy sensing. However, denitrification and leaching losses of nitrogen may occur from dynamic and complex interactions among weather, soil hydrology, crop water and N uptake, and management practices , and result in high variability in annual crop N needs in maize ( Zea mays L.) production. W eather impacts the soil... |
5. A Minnesota-Wide Assessment of Critical Pre-Plant and in-Season Soil Nitrate for Adjusting Nitrogen Rate GuidelinesThe pre-plant (PPNT) and pre-sidedress (PSNT) soil nitrate tests are often used as indicators of soil nitrogen (N) availability in Minnesota. The assessment of available soil nitrogen (N) provides corn (Zea mays L.) growers with key information on N credits to adjust their N fertilizer rates. However, current N management recommendations in Minnesota were based on research conducted 40-yr ago and did not specify differences between environments and management. Through a comprehensive...
