1. Effect of Date of Planting on Method of P Performance for Winter WheatSeed and knifed P (dual placement) have usually performed similarly on winter wheat (Triticum aestiviuum L.), but in some years seed applications have been found to be superior to knifed P. Three winter wheat experiments were established on low available P soils in southeast Nebraska to study the effect of date seeding on seed and knifed P (dual placement) performance. Three rates of P (11, 22, and 33 kg P ha-') were seed and knife applied on three seeding dates in 1987. Data indicated that the effectiveness... |
2. Ammonia Band Spacing Effects on Ammonium Persistence in the BandResults from four field experiments (1991 and 1992) showed that anhydrous ammonia (AA) concentration in the band increased NH4-N persistence in the Hord and Sharpsburg soils in 1992, but not in the Cass and Zook soils in 1991. In 1992, average half-life across both soils was increased from 14 days when applied in a 38 cm spacing to 66 days when applied in a 152 cm spacing (every other row) at the high application rate (224 kg N ha-'). A half-life of 66 days indicates 25% of the applied AA would be... |
3. Nitrogen Fertilizer Equivalency of Anaerobically Digested Municipal SludgeCrop yield response to municipal sludge is largely affected by the amount of nitrogen (N) made available during the growing season. The effect of sludge rate and N fertilizer rate on either grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)] or corn [Zea mays (L.)] yield response was studied on three fms in Lancaster county, Nebraska. A combination of five rates of dewatered (80% H20) anaerobically digested sludge and five rates of N fertilizer (NH&03) were applied before planting and incorporated by discing within... |
