1. Changes in P Uptake and Partitioning in Soybean Cultivars Released in the Last 90 YearsHistorical changes in nutrient uptake and partitioning of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] were not studied. Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 to investigate phosphorus (P) uptake changes and partitioning through the growing season in 25 maturity group (MG) II, and 26 MG III cultivars. Plant samples were taken and partitioned at V4 (four trifoliates), R2 (full bloom), R4 (full pod), R6 (full seed), and R8 (physiological maturity) growth stages. In-season samples were partitioned into... |
2. Soybean Chlorosis Management ProgramChlorosis in soybeans is a problem wherever soybeans are grown on high pH soils. In Nebraska, most of the soybeans are grown in the southeastern half of the state. Here the upland soils are neutral to moderately acid; however, many of the river valley soils are alkaline. Thus, chlorosis is a problem in the Platte and Elkhorn River Valleys and to a lesser extent, in the Republican and Loup River Valleys. Not all soils in the river valleys are prone to chlorosis OF soybeans even though many are alkaline... |
3. Residual Soil NO3 N Variability Sampling Interpretation and Effect on Corn YieldResidual nitrate-N (NO3-N) in the soil profile (crop root zone) is seldom uniformly distributed. There is lateral as well as vertical variability. Numerous factors influence variability. Some of them are: 1) any factor that influences water movement through the soil such as - soil texture, compacted zone, topography and water distribution under irrigation - 2) previous crop, 3) fertilizer history (organic and inorganic sources) and 4) sampling time - caused primarily by factors influencing mineralization... |
4. 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... |
5. Nitrogen and Sulfur Application Effects on Soybean Quality and YieldSulfur deficiency is only becoming more prevalent in the Midwest across soybean fields with higher yields resulting in lower quality seed. Sulfur is a key component of methionine and cysteine, which are important amino acids in the nutrition in foodstuffs. The objective in this study is to explore the impact of N:S applications at different growth stages and rates on the soybean yield and seed composition and quality. In 2018 the trial was performed both in West Lafayette and Wanatah Indiana.... D. Miller, S. Casteel |
6. Oh, K? When is Too Much K Too Much?Potassium is required in large amounts by crop plants and is a staple fertilizer, mainly as KCl. Recent data across three midwestern states suggests that sometimes, especially at high rates and shortly before planting, KCl may have negative impacts on corn and/or soybean yields. Three researchers will briefly describe their research in this area and then field questions from the audience. - Kaiser Twenty-nine potassium (K) fertilizer trials were conducted in eastern... D.

7. A Direct Approach to Measure Cover Crop Nitrogen Uptake from Dairy Manure Via 15N EnrichmentFall manure applications are a standard practice across Wisconsin, primarily due to manure storage constraints and unpredictable spring field conditions. Unfortunately, manure derived nitrogen (N) is at risk for runoff and leaching into groundwater without an appropriate mechanism for N retention. Fall-planted grass cover crops can serve as N scavengers, reducing losses of manure N to the environment, especially post-silage harvest, however potential tradeoffs between sufficient N uptake and spring...
