1. Response of No-till Corn to Urease Inhibitors and Placement of N SourcesN(n-buty1)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and ammonium thiosulfate (ATS) were investigated as urease inhibitors when added to urea and urea-containing N sources and applied to no- ill corn. Significant - f yield increases, some in excess of 20 bu ac , were observed with NBPT treatment of the N fertilizers. Lack of a yield response from NBPT, when it occurred, was usually associated with a rain event of major proportions soon after fertilizer application. ATS showed considerably less promise as a urease... |
2. Nitrogen Placement in No-till CornPlacement of nitrogen (N) fartilizers on no-till corn was evaluated in various single and multiple N rate experiments at the Belleville and Carbondale Research Centers of Southern Illinois University from 1983 to 1993. In 15 experiments in which granular urea placement was compared, ear leaf N and grain yield were essentially the same whether urea was broadcast or concentrated in surface bands near corn rows. Only a 2 bu/ac average yield advantage was observed for banding versus broadcasting urea... |
