1. Predicting Nitrogen Response by Winter Wheat Using Soil Health and Soil Microbiome IndicatorsEfficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving profitability and sustainability in winter wheat production systems of western South Dakota, where soils and growing conditions vary widely. Current fertilizer recommendations rely heavily on soil nitrate-N, often overlooking contributions from organic N sources and soil biological activity. This project aims to refine N fertilizer recommendations by integrating soil health indices (SHIs) and soil microbiome analysis as predictors of... C. Graham, R. Jain |
2. Two-sided Banding of Nitrogen and Sulfur Fertilizers Improves Maize Yield and Nutrient Use Efficiency in Midwestern Cropping SystemsEfficient fertilizer management is essential for maximizing crop yield while minimizing environmental impacts. Optimizing fertilizer placement is a key strategy for improving nutrient recovery and synchronizing nutrient availability with crop demand. Traditionally, fertilizer banding in Midwestern maize (Zea mays L.) systems is done on one side of the plant. This study evaluates the impact of two-sided banding of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) fertilizers on maize yield and nutrient use... A. Yakubu, A. Ludolph, A. Diop, A. Yakubu, R. Roth |
3. The Manitoba Greenhouse Gas Assessment ToolMethane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are potent greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by agriculture. Manitoba Agriculture has developed an educational GHG assessment tool that allows farmers to evaluate annual emissions of these GHGs from their practices and explore the impact of changing practices. The first phase of the GHG assessment tool consists of annual estimates of N2O and CH4 emissions from soil and crop management practices, livestock... P. Loro, M. Riekman, C. Sawka |
