1. Delivering Continuing Education to Ag Professionals- The Crop Adviser InstituteContinuing education is essential for agricultural professionals, whether required by a certifjmg organization or completed voluntarily as a supplemental educational opportunity. Agricultural continuing education has traditionally been delivered on-site, but temporal, geographical, and other constraints often prevent individuals from attending these courses. The Crop Adviser Institute (CAI) has been established to provide an alternative method of delivering continuing education. Implementation of... |
2. Variation Among Commercial Corn Hybrids in Response to Agronomic ManagementStrategic selection and utilization of corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids for a given yield environment and agronomic management system will require better understanding and documentation of the interactions between current commercial hybrids and agronomic factors that have sizeable impacts on yield. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of N fertility, plant population, and row spacing on grain yield of corn and assessed the range in yield responses among commercial hybrids to these agronomic...

3. Synergism Between Lime and Phosphate Fertilizer Application Enhances Soil Phosphorus AvailabilityBecause phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable resource and an essential mineral element for plant development, understanding factors that affect soil phosphorus bioavailability is crucial for sustainable food production. Soil organic P can account for a large fraction of the total soil P, and its mineralization can replenish the soil solution with plant-available P. Raising the soil pH with a liming agent can enhance soil biological activity and increase soil P availability in acidic soils, but it... M. Harm loman, F.E. Below |
