1. Corn Tissue Nutrient Concentration Related to Soil Fertility Levels

Soil health metrics, such as active carbon or soil respiration, may be important factors influencing corn nutrient uptake. The push for increasing soil health has promoted the question of how soil health and soil fertility interact. This research determined how different soil health metrics impact early-season corn tissue potassium (K), sulfur (S), or phosphorus (P) nutrient content. Research conducted in 2019 on 35 producer Missouri fields encompassed many soil types and management practices.... M.B. Henry, N.R. Kitchen, K.S. Veum, J.D. Svedin
