1. Starter N and P Effects on Early Maturing Corn Planted EarlyShort-season corn planted early is a water-use management option being investigated in the central plains states. This study was conducted in an attempt to determine optimum starter N and P fertilizer rates and to compare subsurface banded versus surface applications of P for short-season corn planted early. Each location had a 3x3 factorial arrangement of N and P (0, 20 and 40 lbs N or P205/acre) placed 2 inches below and beside the seed as well as one or both application methods of surface broadcast... |
2. Nitrogen and Water ManagementIt is difficult to separate N and water management when developing improved management systems for irrigated corn production. This is because adequate supplies of both N and water are critical for crop growth, but excesses of either or both can threaten ground water quality. Several N and water management systems were established at the Nebraska Management Systems Evaluation Area (MSEA) project to evaluate the impact of improved irrigation and N fertilizer management practices on production and/or... |
3. Variable Rate Nitrogen Fertilizer for Corn Grown in KentuckyIn Kentucky, nitrogen recommendations for corn have historically been based on soil type. soil drainage class, and previous crop rather than on an anticipated yield or yield potential. Because of the growing popularity of yield monitors and GPS technology, corn producers are now accurately mapping yield variations within fields. A three year study was conducted in the karst region of western Kentucky to determine if past yield history (collected with a yield monitor using GPS) could be used as a... |
4. Drainage and Nitrogen Management Affects Soil Health and Soil PropertiesMidwestern United States farmers rely on key fertilizer inputs and management of soil drainage to maintain productivity and profitability. Subsurface tile drainage is used extensively throughout the Midwest U.S. to lower the water table and drain waterlogged soils. To improve nutrient use efficiency and sustainable crop production, best management practices such as 4R nutrient stewardship framework is being promoted in conjunction with drainage water management technology. The 4R nutrient stewardship... H. Kaur, K.A. Nelson, G. Singh, G. Kaur |
5. Corn Response to Nitrogen Fixation Technology in Upstate MissouriNitrogen is one of the most expensive corn input costs and is critical for grain production. Nitrogen (N) fixing bacteria convert atmospheric N into organic forms that can be utilized by the plant are common with legumes. The symbiosis between Rhizobia and legumes is a critical plant–microbe mutualism that is essential for high yielding soybean. Recently, an emphasis on developing technology to supply corn with additional N through biological processes has been a focus of several agribusinesses... D.J. Steinkamp, K.A. Nelson, G. Singh, G.
