1. Field Scale Variability of Corn Yield response Functions to Fertilizer Nitrogen ApplicationVariable rate nitrogen (N) application assumes that corn response to N fertilizer varies within a field. However, this hypothesis has not been formally tested yet. Field variation of corn response to N fertilizer and economically optimum N fertilizer rates (EON) were assessed in on- farm experiments throughout central Illinois. Fields (16 to 32 ha.) were subdivided into 13 to 20 areas. Five nitrogen rates were randomized within these areas in 28 kg N increments (2 rates) and decrements (2 rates)... |
2. Nitrogen Non-Cycling from Cover Crops Grown Before Corn and Spring Wheat-Unexpected Early Project ResultsNitrogen credits in North Dakota State University fertilization recommendations include those anticipated from the previous year annual legume crops (field pea, lentil, soybean, chickpea) and from terminated alfalfa. In addition, it was established in the region that sugarbeet tops returned to the soil may have an N credit potential of up to 80 pounds of N per acre (Crohain and Rixhon, 1967; Moraghan and Smith, 1994a; Moraghan and Smith, 1995a; Moraghan and Smith, 1995b; Franzen et al.,...
