1. Effect of Alfalfa Stand Density or Cutting Management on Nitrogen Supplying CapacityEconomic, energy and environmental considerations are making the efficient use of nitrogen fertilizers increasingly important for Wisconsin crop producers. Excessive nitrogen applications cannot be tolerated environmentally due to the potential for N leaching to groundwater, or economically due to the relatively high cost of N fertilizers. The potential exists for many producers, farming in legume rotation, to unknowingly over-apply N by not fully applying credits for previously grown alfalfa. A... |
2. Effects of Variable Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates on Corn Grain Yield, Profitability, and Nitrogen Losses in Southwestern MinnesotaGlobal crop production heavily relies on the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, which unfortunately comes with environmental concerns. The primary pathways N is lost to the environment is through nitrate leaching into groundwater, ammonia volatilization, and nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. This ongoing study started in 2021 at the University of Minnesota Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton, MN, to comprehensively assess the effects of varying N fertilizer rates... Z.J.
