1. Effects of Soil Phosphorus and Potassium Levels on Corn Yield Response to Nitrogen Fertilization, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and ProfitabilityAnnual investment in nitrogen (N) fertilizer for corn production represents a significant portion of annual input costs. Yield response to N fertilization is affected by soil N supply, crop N demand, and interacting factors that affect crop N use, such as phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) supply. To investigate the effects of soil-test P and K levels on corn yield response to N fertilizer, a four-year study was conducted at two southern Wisconsin sites. Soil-test P and K were maintained at low... J.D. Jones, C.A. Laboksi, F.J. Arriaga |
2. Iowa Phosphorus and Potassium Soil-test Interpretations Were Updated in 2023: Changes and ReasonsNew field research is conducted as issues or questions arise to assure that nutrient management guidelines are kept current. The Iowa State University phosphorus(P) and potassium (K) soil-test interpretations for crops were updated in 2023 because the previous update had been in 2013 using data until 2012 and research since then indicated a need for some changes. Field-response trials with corn and soybean from 2013 until 2020 involved 799 site-years for P and 724 site-years for K, encompasse... A.P. Mallarino |
3. 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 replic... A. Sadeghpour, O.

4. Revamping Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for MissouriMultiple nitrogen fertilizer rate decision tools have been developed over the years for recommending nitrogen to growers. These tools are based on mass balance equations with expected yield and yield goal, economically optimum nitrogen rate, preplant soil nitrate test, pre-sidedress and late spring soil nitrate test, plant tissue nitrogen, crop growth models, and canopy reflectance sensing. These tools rarely include biological nitrogen in the rate recommendations. Advances in soil health ass... G. Singh , J.A. Lory, K.A. Nelson, M. Davis, L. Abendroth, G. Kaur, J. Calhoun, J.

5. Comparing the Effectiveness of Calcium Products in Neutralizing Soil AcidityProper pH management is the foundation of a good soil fertility program. Soil pH influences nutrient availability, root growth and function. Acid soils are neutralized by the addition of carbonates, oxides, and hydroxides present in limestone products. However, there is a common perception that calcium is responsible for the neutralization of acid soils rather than the carbonates associated with calcium in the limestone. The effectiveness of three calcium products in raising soil pH were comp... E.L. Ritchey, J.H. Grove, C. Teutsch |
