1. Intensive Nitrogen Management of Soft Red Winter WheatThe current system of making nitrogen recommendations for wheat in the Eastern cornbelt assumes that nitrogen fertilizer required is a simple function of yield potential. The higher the yield potential, the more N fertilizer needed. The problem with this assumption is that factors such as soil type and ability of a site to release N through mineralization, climate, variety. disease pressure and managetnent practices all affect nitrogen use efficiency, and are not considered in making nitrogen recommendations.... |
2. Relationship of in-season soil nitrogen concentration with corn yield and potential nitrogen lossesModeled or measured soil mineral N (SMN) levels during the corn growing season have been used to set sidedress N rates, but there has been little research linking SMN levels at different growth stages to yield to help guide this process. The degree to which SMN level influences the risk of N losses is also not known. Data from 32 site-years of field experiments in Illinois (2015–2018) that included 12 combinations of N fertilizer rate, timing, and source, were used to evaluate... G. Preza-fontes, E. Nafziger, L.
