1. A Different Approach to Managing Nitrogen in SorghumResearch conducted over the past fifty plus years has been used to develop a Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation "formula" for grain sorghum which considers factors such as Yield Potential, Residual Nitrate N in the soil Profile, the amount of N mineralized fi-om Soil Organic Matter and Previous Crop Residue, and other potential sources of N such as animal manure or N in irrigation water. The current formula used is as follows: N Rec = Yld x (1.6) - (20 x %SOM) - PNST - PCA - Manure N - Water N When... |
2. Evaluation of Sulfur Fertilizers In Corn ProductionSulfur deficiencies and corn yield increases from S fertilization have been documented in Iowa since the mid-2000’s. Therefore, S fertilization management is an important component of high yield corn production. Many S fertilizers are available for use in correcting deficiencies. However, specific product evaluations have not been widely conducted in Iowa. In addition, a new S fertilizer has recently become available in the Midwest U.S., the mineral polyhalite. The research objectives were... J. Sawyer, M. Castellano, A. Sassman, J. Lundvall |
3. Elucidating How N Management Practices and Excess Water Conditions Affect Corn N Uptake and Grain YieldFlooding and waterlogging events have been more frequent in the Midwest region, causing corn yield penalty nitrogen losses through leaching and denitrification processes. Improving N fertilizer recommendations for areas prone to flood conditions is necessary to minimize N losses and optimize corn yield. This research aimed to determine how N application practices before and after waterlogging events impact corn growth and grain yield. A field experiment was initiated in 2021 in Custar, Ohio using...

4. Individual Leaf Selection to Best Represent Whole-plant Nutrient Status in Modern Corn Cropping SystemsIn modern corn cropping systems, fertilization is often required to maintain plant health. Tissue sampling is commonly utilized to evaluate plant nutrient status and determine fertilizer treatment needs. Recommendations exist on which partition/leaf to select for accurate representation of the whole-plant. Recommendations change with growth stage, suggesting to sample the whole-plant at early-vegetative stages, the top-collared leaf at late-vegetative stages, and the ear-leaf during reproductive... B.
