1. Assessment of Plant Nitrogen Uptake with Late Fertilizer Applications in CornPrevious research in Kansas and other regions has shown that split applications of N fertilizer with early side-dress can increase yield compared to applications at planting in some site years. Split applications are typically done using the traditional side dress at the V6-V8 growth stage. However, late N applications (late-vegetative or early reproductive stage) is generating interest as one alternative to improve nitrogen use efficiency and possibly increase yields,... D. Diaz, A.

2. Not All Litter is Created Equal: Differences in Nitrogen Mineralization Among Broiler Litter TypesOver three fourths of U.S. broiler chicken production is located in the Southeast and generates a substantial amount of broiler litter (BL). Broiler litter is a mixture of bedding material and manure that can be a valuable nutrient source for row crop production when properly used. New technologies provide farmers with the opportunity to use a combination of BL and inorganic fertilizers with minimal environmental impact. The first part of the project evaluated integrated N management systems that... L. Fitzgerald, E. Ritchey, J. Mcgrath, J. Shockley, H. Poffenbarger |
