1. Effect of NBPT-Amended Urea and UAN on No-till Corn in Northern IllinoisField evaluations of the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) have been extensively conducted across the USA with encouraging results. Most response data collected to date has been with corn. In this report results from 7 'years of experiments at two southern Illinois locations (Belleville and Carbondale) are presented. NBPT addition to broadcast-placed urea, when evaluated across N rates and locations, gave no- till corn yield increases averaging 8.4 bulac in 13 experiments.... |
2. Nitrogen Placement in No-till CornPlacement of nitrogen (N) fartilizers on no-till corn was evaluated in various single and multiple N rate experiments at the Belleville and Carbondale Research Centers of Southern Illinois University from 1983 to 1993. In 15 experiments in which granular urea placement was compared, ear leaf N and grain yield were essentially the same whether urea was broadcast or concentrated in surface bands near corn rows. Only a 2 bu/ac average yield advantage was observed for banding versus broadcasting urea... |
3. Savi Determination in Carrots- Comparing Constant and Dynamic Soil Adjustment FactorsReliable interpretation of reflectance measurements of vegetation in incomplete canopies is confounded by the influence of soil background. Qi et al. (2000) developed a fi-actional coverage uc) model from the NDVI of target vegetation and soil. Spectral data from a two year (2001, 2002) carrot study was used to determine if the fractional coverage (fc) model could be used to estimate the observed fractional coverage of the developing carrot canopy. Reflectance measurements and matching digital images... |
