1. Effect of Nitrogen Fertilizer Placement and Sources on No-till CornNo-tillage production of corn can lead to a number of savings for growers including costs of time, machinery, labor, and energy. However, savings of soil and water are perhaps the most important attributes of no-tillage production on the sloping, erosion-prone soils found in southern Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky. Producer acceptance of no-tillage has not been overwhelming. Prob- lems in achieving acceptable stands, difficulties in adequately con- trolling pests of all types, especially... |
2. No-till Corn Response to N Fertilizer Sources and Placement Methods- A Summary of Southern Illinois ResultsExperiments were conducted in southern Illinois from 1984-1986 to evaluate the placement efficiency of several N fertilizers used in no-till corn production. Such information has become of meaningful importance as producers strive to obtain the greatest possible returns from their N fertilizer investment and to obtain yields and a level of profitability equal to that of more conventionally produced corn. Also, in the near future, no-tillage will become an important tool for many farmers in southern... |
