1. Potassium Deficiency in South DakotaSouth Dakota soils are typically very high in plant available potassium (K). However in the last several years there have been increasing reports of K deficiency on corn. A number of observations have been made concerning where K deficiency occurs and what factors are involved. A few research studies have been initiated to answer frequently asked questions by producers on K management for corn and soybean rotations in the state. Preliminary results indicate differential corn variety response to... |
2. Sulfur Influence on Corn and Soybean Yields in Eastern South DakotaClean air legislation, the increasing use of conservation tillage, and the manufacture of phosphorus fertilizers without sulfur have all contributed to lowering soil sulfur (S) availability to crops. Soil S availability has been affected to some extent by all three issues in eastern South Dakota. Hilltop erosion has exposed subsoil in which the pH is higher and organic matter content is lower than at lower landscape positions. In some eroded shoulder positions of the landscape in no-till fields.... |
3. Manure and Fertilizer Management Influence on Soil Nutrient Levels and Grain Yields in Eastern South Dakota from 2003 to 2014Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are required to hold a manure management permit in South Dakota. The permit encompasses available nutrients from manure, crop nutrient use and removal, soil test nitrate-N, and phosphorus and land availability for approved nutrient application rates. The management plan determines if nitrogen or phosphorus based manure application rates are used. Most CAFO’s start out following the nitrogen based plan as soil test phosphorus (P) levels... A.
