1. Effect of Ammonia Knife Spacing on Corn YieldExperiments were conducted at DeKalb on a Drummer sicl, Dixon Springs on a Alford silt loam and Elwood on a Blaunt sicl to evaluate the effect of ammonia knife spacing at varying N rates and on different tillage systems on the yield of corn Nitrogen was awlied at 180 1bs N/acre at bath DeKalb and El& and at 210 lbs N/acre at Dixon Springs in the knife spacing by tillage study. In the rate by knife spacing by time of application study at DeKalb, the preplant nitrogen was placed under where the rows... |
2. Starter Effects on Corn Grown on Previously Flooded SoilsThe devastating floods of 1993 prompted a great deal of concern about crop production in those areas the following year. These concerns were prompted both by scientific information (Fixen et al. 1984: Vivekanandan and Fixen, 1991) and by farmer observations from prior flood experience. In response to these concerns. projects, observations. and experiments were undertaken. These included collection of soil samples for chemical analysis in the fall of 1993, observations of corn grown in 1994 on flood... |
3. Formulating N Recommendations for Corn in the Corn Belt Using Recent DataMaking N rate recommendations for corn has been one of the most econonlically important goals of publicly funded crop production and soil fertility personnel and programs over the past five decades. Changes in cropping systems, hybrids, tillage, and other management practices, along with opportunities in site-specific inputs and awareness of the need to minimize the amount of N that reaches surface and ground waters have combined to increase the interest to re-exanline N rate recommendations, and... |
