1. Integrating Management Zones and Canopy Sensing for Improved Nitrogen Recommendation AlgorithmsActive crop canopy sensors have been studied as a tool to direct spatially variable nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications in maize, with the goal of increasing the synchrony between N supply and crop demand and thus improving N use efficiency (NUE). However, N recommendation algorithms have often proven inaccurate in certain subfield regions due to local spatial variability. Modifying these algorithms by integrating soil-based management zones (MZ) may improve their accuracy... J. Crowther, J. Parrish, R. Ferguson, J. Luck, K. Glewen, T. Shaver, D. Krull, L. Thompson, N.

2. Comparison of Ground-Based Active Crop Canopy Sensor and Aerial Passive Crop Canopy Sensor for In-Season Nitrogen ManagementCrop canopy sensors represent one tool available to help calculate a reactive in-season nitrogen (N) application rate in corn. When utilizing such systems, corn growers must decide between using active versus passive crop canopy sensors. The objectives of this study was to 1) determine the correlation between N management by remote sensing using a passive sensor and N management using proximal sensing with an active sensors. Treatments were arranged as field length strips in a randomized complete... J. Parrish, R. Ferguson, J. Luck, K. Glewen, L. Thompson, B. Krienke, N. Mueller, T. Ingram, D. Krull, J. Crowther, T.

3. Potassium Recalibration for Corn in North Dakota and Sampling TimePotassium (K) fertilizer recommendations for corn (Zea mays, L.) are commonly guided by yield response calibrations to soil K levels; however, sample drying and time of soil sampling have been shown to affect the amount of extractable K. Potassium rate trials were established at 13 locations in southeastern North Dakota during 2015 with objectives to evaluate soil K testing methods and their relationship with corn yield response to K fertilization and to assess temporal soil K variation....

4. Biomass and Nitrogen Partitioning of the Modern Russet Varieties of Potatoes Under Nitrogen Stressed and Optimum ConditionsWisconsin is the third largest producers of potatoes in the USA. Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in the development of crop biomass and yield. N uptake and partitioning in potato can be different based on the varieties and nutrient availability. These differences can result in the wide variations in yield accumulation and nitrogen use efficiencies. However, there is a lack of quantitative understanding of the in-season N uptake and demand and biomass partitioning of the different varieties... A. Rawal, M.D. Ruark, R.A. Lankau, J. Ross |
5. Corn Nitrogen Requirement in Winter Cereal Cover Crop Trials in Southern IllinoisWinter cereal cover crops, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and winter rye (Secale cereale L.) are recommended as the best in-field management strategy by the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (INLRS) to minimize nitrate-N leaching to the Mississippi River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico. We evaluated the effect of wheat and winter rye on corn grain yield, and nitrogen (N) requirement. Treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replicates... A.

6. Response of Corn to Planting Methods of Cover Crop Species and Nitrogen Rate in Southern IllinoisIt is well established that planting cover crops prior to corn (Zea mays L.) can influence soil temperature, moisture, and nitrogen (N) dynamics. These changes in soil along with the effects of cover crop on corn plant population can influence corn grain yield and N requirement. Two strategies to facilitate corn establishment and avoid N immobilization especially in winter cereal cover crops is by mixing cover crop species or skipping the corn row (precision planting). A randomized complete... A. Sadeghpour, G. Sener guzel, C. Kula, C. Vick |
