1. Corn Nitrogen Fertilizer Management Practices in Eastern South DakotaThe adoption factors of N best management practices (BMPs) that can lessen N loss needs to be understood to help increase adoption rates. Understanding the local, small-scale factors (geographic location, tillage type, and farm size) that influence the use of N BMPs will help nutrient management professionals provide the research and information needed to increase the use of N BMPs. South Dakota (SD) survey data from 465 producers was used to examine the above local, small-scale factors that ... J.D. Clark, A. Bly, P. Kovacs, J. Ulrich-schad |
2. Impact of Site-Specific Variability on the Effectiveness of Active Canopy Sensors for In-Season N Management in CornIn-season nitrogen (N) management in corn guided by active canopy sensors is often associated with higher yields, profit and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, these benefits could vary from field-to-field and year-to-year. These inconsistent relationships between technology and benefits represent a major challenge for increasing adoption of sensor-based N application in corn. Thus, a better understanding of which site-specific factors determine positive benefits from sensor-based N appl... L. Puntel, J. Luck, L. Thompson |
3. Should Potassium Chloride be Applied to Soybean?Potassium chloride represents 98% of potassium sales in Minnesota. Potassium chloride contains 50% of chloride by mass. Research in the southern U.S. shows excess chloride is known to result in decreased soybean (Gylcine max var Merr.) yield. The objective of this study was to determine whether chloride impacts soybean yield in northern growing regions and evaluate the effect of rate (100 or 200 lb K ac-1) , fertilizer (K or Cl) source (none, KCl, K2SO4...

4. Evaluation of Soil Test Methods and Early Tissue Analysis to Assess Potassium Response in SoybeanMultiple soil test methods has been evaluated as diagnostic tool for potassium management in soybeans. This study compared different soil test K methods (STK) and evaluate the correlation to soybean yield and K uptake response in low testing soils, and assessed tissue analysis as alternative for in-season correction options. ...
