1. Soil and Soybean Responses to Planting into Terminated Prairie StripsPrairie strips are a new conservation practice that are currently implemented in 14 Midwest US states. Prairie strips have been shown to reduce runoff, increase soil health, retain sediment and nutrients, increase biodiversity and have no effect on surrounding crop yield. Due to the comprehensive improvements to soil health under prairie strips, researchers and growers are interested in rotating them on 10-15 year cycles. We have little-to-no knowledge on the effects of planting crops i... C. Dutter, M. St cyr, M. Mcdaniel, C. Carley, A. Singh |
2. Synergism Between Lime and Phosphate Fertilizer Application Enhances Soil Phosphorus AvailabilityBecause phosphorus (P) is a non-renewable resource and an essential mineral element for plant development, understanding factors that affect soil phosphorus bioavailability is crucial for sustainable food production. Soil organic P can account for a large fraction of the total soil P, and its mineralization can replenish the soil solution with plant-available P. Raising the soil pH with a liming agent can enhance soil biological activity and increase soil P availability in acidic soils, but i... M. Harm loman, F.E. Below |
3. Soil Health Indicators help with Fertilizer Application Decisions in South Dakota CornFertilizer inputs are an essential part of corn (Zea mays) cropping systems in the United States. In South Dakota, phosphorus and potassium yearly inputs are based on soil test nutrient levels and a yield goal while sulfur is based on soil texture and tillage practices. These 3 plant nutrients have a point called the “critical value” where addition of more of the nutrient as an inorganic fertilizer should no longer result in a yield increase. These fertilizer ... B.

4. Corn Response to Phosphorus Fertilization and Evaluation of Soil Test Methods in Kansas SoilsPhosphorus is a critical nutrient in corn (Zea mays L.) production, and limitation in P availability can result in significant yield reduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate corn response to phosphorus fertilization and evaluate multiple soil test methods in Kansas soils. The study was conducted in 13 locations across Kansas during 2021. Fertilizer treatment consisted of five rates of phosphorus (P) fertilizer (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 lbs. P2O5 acre–1), using mono-...

5. Can ProveN Reduce Corn Nitrogen Requirement in Minnesota?ProveN is a microbial product applied in-furrow with the goal of reducing the total amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed for corn (Zea mays L.). Six field trials were established over three growing seasons in Minnesota to evaluate corn response to nitrogen with and without ProveN applied at planting on the seed. Nitrogen was applied as urea prior to planting at five locations and split applied with 1/3 of the total rates of nitrogen applied at -planting, at V4, and V8 growth stages. ... D. Kaiser, J. Vetsch, M. Currie |
6. Winter Wheat Grain and Straw Impacts from Autumn Starter and Spring Nitrogen Fertilizer StrategiesThe overwintering success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) can be a determining yield factor in Michigan. Autumn-applied starter fertilizer may affect establishment, nutrient uptake, tiller production, and grain and straw yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate soft red winter wheat (SRWW) grain and straw yield in response to autumn applied starter fertilizer, spring nitrogen (N), and varietal stature. A two-year randomized complete block split-plot design w... K. Steinke, L. Thomas |
7. Grain Yield and Nutrient Removal Relationships in High-yield Modern Corn Hybrids Under In-season Sulfur and Potassium ApplicationsAdvancements in modern corn genetics and adoption of intensive management practices, including in-season sulfur (S) and potassium (K) applications, have helped corn farmers set higher yield goals while prompting new questions about plant nutrient dynamics during the season and cumulative nutrient removal with grain at harvest. The primary goal of this study was to investigate how hybrid and fertility management decisions in situations with high yield potential (>225 bushels acre-1) impact ... G. Verhagen, T. Vyn |
8. Comparative Effects of Herbicide, Nitrogen Inhibitors and Nitrogen Source on Nitrification and Corn YieldNitrogen management in crops can be challenging due to nitrogen transformations and losses in soil, such as nitrification and denitrification. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonium (NH4+) to nitrate (NO3-) by ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. Nitrates can be lost through leaching during heavy precipitation. Nitrification inhibitor products are used to temporarily slow the nitrification process by... W. Neels, A. Jhala, B. Maharjan, R. Little, J. Iqbal |
9. 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 v... A. Rawal, M.D. Ruark, R.A. Lankau, J. Ross |
