1. Better Maize Response to Optimal Fertilizer PlacementIncreasing trends in corn (Zea mays L.) yields require greater levels of applied nutrients per acre to maintain or increase yields; thus, we need to rethink how to best supply a crops⤙ required nutrients. One significant challenge associated with applying more fertilizer to support greater yields has been the negative environmental effects of increased levels of some nutrients, such as phosphorus. Fertilizer application technologies such as banding the fertilizer below the plant increases... |
2. Identifying Which Management Factors Have the Greatest Impact on Soybean YieldsSoybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grain yields are the final products of numerous factors that affect crop growth and development during the growing season; therefore, it is critical to understand the interactions of these factors evaluated as a whole in order to efficiently maximize yield and exploit the yield potential of modern soybean varieties grown under increased levels of management. The objective of this experiment is to evaluate the synergies between several management... T. Beyrer, F. Below |
3. Do Soil Tests Predict Yield Response to Phosphorus in Modern Corn and Soybean Production?Modern corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production systems produce higher yields, and consequently, may remove more nutrients than fertilizer rates based upon existing soil test recommendations for these yields. With greater emphasis on soil test levels for nutrient stewardship strategies, soil tests need to also predict critical levels in which fertilized nutrient responses are likely. Current soil test recommendations for Illinois have negligibly... T. Beyrer, F. Below |
