1. A Different Approach to Managing Nitrogen in Sorghum

Research conducted over the past fifty plus years has been used to develop a Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation "formula" for grain sorghum which considers factors such as Yield Potential, Residual Nitrate N in the soil Profile, the amount of N mineralized fi-om Soil Organic Matter and Previous Crop Residue, and other potential sources of N such as animal manure or N in irrigation water. The current formula used is as follows: N Rec = Yld x (1.6) - (20 x %SOM) - PNST - PCA - Manure N - Water N W...

2. An Environmental Assessment of Sensor-Based Variable-Rate Nitrogen Management in Corn

In order to address the problem of nitrate contamination of surface and ground waters, various methods have been used to try to account for spatial variability of N within agricultural fields. One approach to account for this variability and thereby reduce nitrate pollution is in-season site- specific N application according to economic optimal N rate (EONR). Recently, active crop canopy sensors have been tested for mid-season, on-the-go N fertilizer application in corn. This 2004 and 2005 stud...

3. Assessment of the Combined Effects of Soil pH and Carbonates on Soybean Yield and Development of Iron Deficiency Chlorosis

Soybean is extensively grown in areas of the Midwest where fields often have areas of acid to calcareous soils intermingled in complex spatial patterns. Soil pH is highly buffered by carbonates, and measured pH usually ranges from 7.5 to 8.3 depending on the concentration of C02 and other factors. Soybean grown on high-pH calcareous soils often shows iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC). Symptoms of IDC include yellowing of interveinal areas of young leaves and, as the deficiency becomes severe,...

4. Corn Hybrid Responses to Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates

Efficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is becoming increasingly important in modem corn (Zea mays L.) production due to rising nitrogen fertilizer prices and growing concerns about NO3- contamination of ground and surface waters. Interest has arisen in whether nitrogen management can be improved by choosing hybrids that respond better to nitrogen. In order to see if hybrids respond differently to varying rates of N fertilizer, we grew nine hybrids at five N rates for three years at Urbana: Ill...

5. Corn Yield Response to Fall and Spring Applied Controlled- Release Urea vs. Spring Conventional Urea

Nitrogen (N) application to corn has been proven to increase yields, but concerns about nitrate-N in ground and surface water have led to investigation of controlled-release N fertilizer. The objective of these experiments is to compare corn grain response to controlled-release urea (ESN) and conventional urea. Two field studies are being conducted at two locations in Iowa and corn yield data will be reported from 2003-2005. All N treatments were hand broadcast in 30 lb N/a increments from 0 lbs...

6. Corn Yield Response to Residual Forage Crop Rotation and Manure Amendment Effect in Potato Rotations

Accurate prediction of multiple-year N availability froin organic sources is difficult and can complicate nitrogen management for producers using these sources. The objective of this study was to use corn yield and soil N monitoring to evaluate long-term nutrient availability from rotational systems on an irrigated Alfisol in central Michigan. Over a 5-year period, multiple crop sequences were grown with either annual liquid dairy manure at 12,260 L ha-' or conventional mineral fertilizer applic...

7. Cropping Systems Management Effects on Soil N Mineralization Dynamics

Changes in soil organic matter (SOM) content due to cultivation also impacts the amount of indigenous soil nitrogen (IN) supply. Crop management practices designed to achieve high yields also result in high residue inputs, which can contribute to SOM build up and enhanced indigenous N supply. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of crop rotation and nutrient management in conventional and intensive maize based systems on the change in soil N supply. Soil samples fiotn...

8. Development of Field InSite as an Effective Nutrient Management Tool

Nitrogen. phosphorus, and potassium are essential nutrients for crop production. Crop nutrient management is critical to the success of any farming operation. Land stewardship is a concern for most producers as long as yields and profitability are not affected significantly. While farmers are eager to improve the efficiency with which they apply nutrients, maintaining expected crop revenue per acre is equally important. Higher fertilizer costs have increased the desire to find better ways to ap...

9. Evaluation of the Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test in the North Central Region

Data from 96 locations across the North Central Region was complied to evaluate the usefulness of the Illinois soil nitrogen test (ISNT) in identifying fields where corn will not respond to additional N fertilizer and predicting the yield optimizing N rate (YONR) for each field. The ISNT could not accurately predict non-responsive sites, nor could it predict YONR. Sub-setting the data based on soil drainage class and previous crop did not improve the predictive capability of the ISNT. The ISNT w...

10. Fertilizer Industry Update- Price, Availability, History

This talk will review world and local factors that have been affecting fertilizer demand, pricing, and supply. The speaker will review fertilizer trends and usage in the world markets as well as discuss trends in the U.S. fertilizer industry. Due to the proprietary nature of most of the information, a paper is not included in the proceedings. Select slides may be available upon request. however. ...
