1. Effects of Chloride From Poultry Litter and Muriate of Potash on Cured Tobacco Leaf QualityPoultry litter is growing more popular as a soil amendment in western Kentucky. due to recent poultry industry expansion. There is concern among the tobacco industry that chloride levels in poultry litter may have detrimental effects on cured leaf quality. A three year study is being conducted at the University of Kentucky to compare availability of chloride fiom poultry litter and muriate of potash and its effect on cured leaf quality. A randomized complete block design structure was chosen, with... |
2. Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Legacy after Long-term Fertilizer Placement in a Corn-Soybean RotationPhosphorus (P) fertilizer placement can affect plant P uptake during the growing season, however, the long-term interaction of placement and plant root P uptake can also affect soil P pools. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of long-term P fertilizer placement on soil P pools (labile, moderately labile and non-labile) and legacy soil P accumulation under a corn (Zea mays) -soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) rotation. A field study was conducted for ten years from 2006-... M. Coelho, D. Ruiz diaz, G. Hettiarachchi, F. Hansel |
3. Root Growth and Phosphorus Uptake Affected by Fertilizer Management in Soybean and WheatPlant root growth patterns can be affected by nutrient and water availability. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of phosphorus (P) fertilizer management on soybean (Glycine max. L) and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root system growth and macro and micronutrients uptake. Two greenhouse studies were carried out at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas under controlled environment. The experimental design... F. Hansel, D. Diaz |
4. Soybean Yield Response to P Fertilizer Placement as Affected by Soil Parameters: A ReviewIn the last decades, several studies were conducted to evaluate more efficient P fertilizer management with emphasis on placement. Many of these studies report contrasting results, suggesting that a general recommendation may not be appropriate and specific factors of soils, crops, and weather should be considered. A literature search was completed using Google Scholar, and published papers that met our selection criteria included 62 experiments, with 95 site-years. Approximately 9.8% of the studies... F.

5. Improving Nitrogen Management in Dryland Winter Wheat Production in NebraskaWheat producers in Nebraska endured a significant loss in profit due to reduced grain protein in years that had wet springs such as in 2016 and 2017. Among many potential factors, soil nitrogen (N) is the most central factor that affects protein levels in wheat. To investigate the effect of N on wheat grain yield and protein content, field trials across the State were initiated in 2018. The specific objectives of the field study were to evaluate the effects of different N rates and application... |
