1. Interrelationship of the Nitrogen Cycle and Carbon Sequestration- Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in Row CropsAgiculture's contribution to global warming is principally through its historical release of carbon in soil and vegetation to the atmosphere and through its contemporary release of nitrous oxide and methane. The sequestration of soil carbon in soils now depleted in soil organic matter is a well-known strategy for mitigating the buildup of COz in the atmosphere. Less well- recognized are other mitigation potentials such as better management of nitrogen fertility. A full-cost accounting of the effects... |
2. Utilizing Fertilizer and Fungicide Strategies to Enhance Winter Wheat Grain and Straw ProductionThe establishment and overwintering success of Michigan winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L) are often determining yield factors but identifying both autumn and in-season practices that may enhance yield and economic return can be difficult. Additional demand for straw has growers considering inputs that may not only affect grain yield potential but also overall biomass production and serve as another means to improve profitability. Recent research has documented significant grain and straw... K. Steinke, L. Suplito, M. Chilvers |
3. Impacts from Autumn Starter Fertilizer, Late-season Nitrogen, and Fungicide Timing on Winter Wheat Yield, Straw, and QualityIncreased demand for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and climate uncertainties have Michigan growers exploring intensive management strategies to improve both yield and profitability. Field studies investigated the influence of both early and late-season fertilizer applications with multiple fungicide timings on the yield and quality of winter wheat grain and straw. A full-factorial, randomized complete block design investigated two rates of autumn starter fertilizer (AS) (12-40-0-10-1,... K. Steinke, M.K. Suplito, M. Chilvers |
