1. Managing Riparian Buffers to Improve Soil Structural PropertiesFifty-five percent of Kentucky's stream impairments have been attributed to agriculture. Riparian buffer management may improve buffer effectiveness and reduce agricultural contaminants impairing water quality. Three mowing regimes and one native grass establishment regime were imposed in the riparian buffer zone surrounding a tributary of Cane Run Creek in Fayette County KY. Treatment plots measured 10m x 15m, with 10 replications of each treatment. One year after treatment, root biomass, soil aggregate... |
2. Influence of Biological Seed Treatment on Soybean Grain Yield in the U.S.Biological seed treatment in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a growing market in the U.S., with multiple microbially active ingredients and several proposed benefits. Some of the claimed benefits include improving nitrogen fixation, stimulation of root growth, increasing phosphorus, sulfur, and other nutrient absorption, and control of diseases, with the aim to increase soybean grain yield. Farmers are often bombarded with marketing claims about biological seed treatments. In many... F. Colet, R.A. Vann, S.P. Conley, S.L. Naeve, E.G. Matcham, S. Mourtzinis, L.E. Lindsey |
