1. Evaluating Soil Health Indicators in Response to Tillage, Crop Rotation, and Cover CroppingSoil health is shaped by management practices that influence soil physical, chemical, and biological properties. Conservation practices such as reduced-disturbance tillage, cover cropping, and diverse crop rotations are increasingly promoted for improving soil structure, nutrient cycling, and microbial activity. However, the extent to which these practices interact and whether newly adopted no-till systems show similar benefits to long-term reduced tillage remains unclear. This study evaluates... S.

2. Investigating Potassium Fertility in Indiana: K Rates and Nutrient InteractionsAdequate potassium (K) nutrition is critical for optimal plant growth and yield production in both corn and soybeans. Ongoing trials across the state of Indiana have been investigating K rate response in corn and soybeans in different environments. Treatments range from 0-180 lbs K2O/ac as potash. Results from these studies will be discussed. Additionally, new in 2025, NxS and NxK trials were conducted to investigate the effect of K nutrient interactions on corn yield. Treatments in... D. Quinn, A. Helms, M. Bourns |
3. Evaluating Spatial Attribution for Continuous Improvement of Fertilizer RecommendationsThe theory behind precision agriculture is driven on the improvement of every acre. While spatially driven recommendations have been practiced for greater than 30 years, the benefits of precision agriculture have largely not been realized. Today’s precision fertilizer recommendations have generally utilized traditional attributes (for instance: soil test phosphorus, soil test potassium, and in some application recommendations, other analyzed attributes from soil test evaluations)...

4. Technology, Innovation, and the Future of Soil FertilityThis panel will focused on how technology is being used in the practice of soil fertility and nutrient management. Panelists will also discuss how they’ve incorporated new and old soil fertility concepts into their approach to guiding fertilizer use. Lastly, we will discuss where soil fertility is going as a scientific discipline. ... H.M. Brown, W. Berg, R. Mullen |
