Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corn (Zea mays) response to fertilization and placement methods has been studied extensively; however studies on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] response to placement have been limited. Three studies were completed to evaluate different aspects of crop response. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the effect of starter and broadcast fertilizer application on corn and soybean, in a typical corn-soybean rotation in Kansas. Treatments were unfertilized control, starter (N, P and K), broadcast P and K using mono ammonium phosphate (MAP) and potassium chloride (KCl) and the combination of starter and broadcast. Corn and soybean yield generally was not affected by starter and broadcast treatments. Thus fertilization may be recommended only under specific conditions. The objectives of the second study were (i) to evaluate the effect of residual and direct fertilization on soybeans after corn under a corn-soybean rotation system, and (ii) study the effect of fertilizer P and K application on soil test P (STP) and soil test K (STK) changes over time. Direct fertilization increased soybean yield while residual fertilizer did not. Therefore maintenance rates may be effective to improve soybean yield and likely maintain STP and STK levels. Application of P and K fertilizer generated significant increases in STP and STK after one year of application. The rate of P and K fertilizer required to increase 1 mg kg−1 yr−1 was between 2.8 - 5.1 kg ha−1 for P and between 1.0- 2.5 kg ha−1 for K, respectively. The objective of the third study evaluate both corn and soybean response to direct P fertilization including starter and broadcast. The treatments were a control, two starter fertilizers (with N-P and N only), five P rates (9.8, 19.6, 29.3, 39.1, 48.9 kg P ha−1) and one treatment with starter fertilizer in addition to the broadcast fertilizer application. Corn grain yield was not significantly affected by any broadcast or starter treatments. Broadcast application rates significantly increased soybean yield on low STP levels. Results of this study show that large corn or soybean yield response to starter and broadcast P application are likely with low STP levels.

Download or read book Plant Nutrients and Abiotic Stress Tolerance written by Mirza Hasanuzzaman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses many aspects of plant-nutrient-induced abiotic stress tolerance. It consists of 22 informative chapters on the basic role of plant nutrients and the latest research advances in the field of plant nutrients in abiotic stress tolerance as well as their practical applications. Today, plant nutrients are not only considered as food for plants, but also as regulators of numerous physiological processes including stress tolerance. They also interact with a number of biological molecules and signaling cascades. Although research work and review articles on the role of plant nutrients in abiotic stress tolerance have been published in a range of journals, annual reviews and book chapters, to date there has been no comprehensive book on this topic. As such, this timely book is a valuable resource for a wide audience, including plant scientists, agronomists, soil scientists, botanists, molecular biologists and environmental scientists.

Download or read book Uniform and Variable rate Fertilizer and Manure Phosphorus for the Corn soybean Rotation written by David John Wittry and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precision agriculture has evolved from a concept into an accepted management practice. The challenge now is how to best utilize these technologies for the benefit of agriculture. Nutrient management could be improved and spatial variability reduced by variable-rate (VR) application. The objectives of this dissertation were to assess the value of VR P fertilization and P-based liquid swine manure application for corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production compared with the traditional uniform-rate (UR) application. On-farm research methods based on replicated, long narrow strips were adapted to precision technologies. These technologies included grain yield monitors, differential global positioning systems, and geographical information systems. Treatments consisted of a non-fertilized control, a UR method based on average soil-test P (STP) for the entire field and a VR method based on STP from 0.2 to 1.7 ha grid cells. Grain yield and temporal changes in STP were used to assess treatment differences in both studies. In addition, plant dry weight, P concentration, and P uptake (V5 growth stage) were used in the fertilizer study. Phosphorus fertilization and manure often increased whole-field crop grain yield in fields which average STP values were below the Optimum interpretation class for corn and soybean production. Analyses of yield for field areas with contrasting STP values often showed significant responses to fertilizer or manure P in field areas testing Optimum or less, but rarely in high-testing areas. Phosphorus fertilization increased early plant growth and P uptake more frequently than grain yield. Although the method of P application did not influence whole-field or within-field plant responses, VR reduced soil P variability compared with UR by increasing STP in low-testing areas and decreasing or not affecting STP of high-testing areas. This research showed precision farming technologies are useful tools for improving nutrient management. Fertilization or manure application programs that vary the nutrient application rate may not result in increased yield compared with UR application methods. However, use of VR technology will result in better nutrient management and perhaps better water quality because of more efficient distribution of fertilizer or manure.

Download or read book Phosphorus Management Practices for Soybean Production in Manitoba written by Gustavo Bardella and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increase in soybean production in Manitoba has raised many questions about phosphorus management for achieving high yields of modern varieties. Soybean's tolerance to seed-placed fertilizer and response to added fertilizer P were evaluated in a 28 site-year study, and the yield response to soil test P concentrations was evaluated in seven site-years, in a second study. Plant stand reduction caused by fertilizer toxicity when applied with the seed was rare, but was most likely in soils with medium to coarse texture or when seeding equipment lightly disturbed the soil, or provided little seed bed utilization. Severe plant stand reduction decreased seed yield in two site-years. Seed yield increase to P fertilization was rarely observed, regardless of fertilizer P rate, P placement or soil test P. In only one site-year there was a significant effect of fertilizer rate, where 45 and 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 increased yield by approximately 15%, compared to the control. Regardless of soil test P, seed yield response to soil P fertility was never observed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition of the importance of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil health and quality is a major part of fostering a holistic, preventive approach to agricultural management. Students in agronomy, horticulture, and soil science need a textbook that emphasizes strategies for using SOM management in the prevention of chemical, biological, and physical problems. Soil Organic Matter in Sustainable Agriculture gathers key scientific reviews concerning issues that are critical for successful SOM management. This textbook contains evaluations of the types of organic soil constituents—organisms, fresh residues, and well-decomposed substances. It explores the beneficial effects of organic matter on soil and the various practices that enhance SOM. Chapters include an examination of the results of crop management practices on soil organisms, organic matter gains and losses, the significance of various SOM fractions, and the contributions of fungi and earthworms to soil quality and crop growth. Emphasizing the prevention of imbalances that lead to soil and crop problems, the text also explores the development of soils suppressive to plant diseases and pests, and relates SOM management to the supply of nutrients to crops. This book provides the essential scientific background and poses the challenging questions that students need to better understand SOM and develop improved soil and crop management systems.

Download or read book Phosphorus Management in Crop Production written by Nand Kumar Fageria and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world population is projected to reach nine billion by 2050, and in the coming years, global food demand is expected to increase by 50% or more. Higher crop productivity gains in the future will have to be achieved in developing countries through better natural resources management and crop improvement. After nitrogen, phosphorus (P) has more widespread influence on both natural and agricultural ecosystems than any other essential plant element. It has been estimated that 5.7 billion hectares of land worldwide contain insufficient amounts of available P for sustainable crop production, and P deficiency in crop plants is a widespread problem in various parts of the world. However, it has been estimated that worldwide minable P could last less than 40 years. For sustaining future food supplies, it is vital to enhance plant P use efficiency. To bring the latest knowledge and research advances in efficient management of P for economically viable and environmentally beneficial crop production in sustainable agriculture, Phosphorus Management in Crop Production contains chapters covering functions and diagnostic techniques for P requirements in crop plants, P use efficiency and interactions with other nutrients in crop plants, management of P for optimal crop production and environmental quality, and basic principles and methodology regarding P nutrition in crop plants. The majority of research data included are derived from many years of field, greenhouse, and lab work, hence the information is practical in nature and will have a significant impact on efficient management of P-fertilizers to enhance P use efficiency, improve crop production, promote sustainable agriculture, and reduce P losses through eluviations, leaching, and erosion to minimize environmental degradation. A comprehensive book that combines practical and applied information, Phosphorus Management in Crop Production is an excellent reference for students, professors, agricultural research scientists, food scientists, agricultural extension specialists, private consultants, fertilizer companies, and government agencies that deal with agricultural and environmental issues.

Download or read book Validation of Soil test based Phosphorus and Potassium Fertilizer Recommendations for Rice and Soybean written by Matthew Scott Fryer and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of soil-testing for nutrient management and fertilizer recommendations is widely accepted among scientists and agronomists. Although this science is unsurpassed in predicting soil nutrient availability, soil-test interpretations are seldom validated. Major research objectives for irrigated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and direct-seeded, delayed-flood rice (Oryza sativa L.) were to: i) validate the accuracy of Mehlich-3 soil-test P (STP) and K (STK) interpretations and ii) published critical tissue-P and -K interpretations in predicting the yield response to fertilizer at different significance levels (p≤0.05 to 0.25), iii) examine how seed nutrient concentrations are influenced by fertilization and crop response to fertilizer, and iv) evaluate how soil samples from two different depths (0-10 and 0-30 or -45 cm) influence crop response to fertilization. Seventeen (soybean) and 16 (rice) total field experiments were conducted in 2013 and 2014. Soil-P interpretations showed an overall accuracy of 40 (p≤0.05) to 55% (p≤0.25) for soybean and 35% (p≤0.05 and 0.25) for rice in predicting the yield response to fertilizer. Overall accuracy of STK interpretations regarding yield response predictions was 71 (p≤0.05) to 84% (p≤;0.25) for soybean and 14 (p≤0.25) to 20% (p≤0.05) for rice. Complete evaluation of critical tissue-P (soybean) and -K (rice) concentrations were unfeasible due to the lack of site-years in deficient categories. Rice tissue-P concentrations were 50 (p≤0.05) and 39% (p≤0.25) accurate in predicting the fertilizer effect on yield. Yield response to fertilizer was accurately predicted at 48 (p≤0.05) to 62% (p≤0.25) of the sites by tissue-K concentrations of soybean. Seed nutrient concentrations of soybean were influenced by fertilizer more frequently and to a greater measure compared with rice. Regression analysis of soil nutrient indices of the shallow and deep soil depths for both crops were relatively strong with a slope close to 1.0 suggesting nutrients at deeper depths had minimal effects on the yield response of either. With exception to STP in rice, nutrient concentration interpretations of soil and tissue for both crops and nutrients were affected by the significance level used to evaluate the data. Tissue concentrations were an inferior (soybean) and superior (rice) predictor of crop response to fertilizer.

Download or read book Phosphorus and Sulphur Fertilizer for Summer Soybean written by Heeralal Yadav and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is considered to be a miracle crop because of its dual qualities viz., high protein content and oil. These two parameters in one crop have thus gained considerable importance in the agricultural economy of the World. It has high yield potential, wide adaptability, and short duration, very high nutritional value, having a vast multiplicity of uses as food and industrial products. Moreover, being a legume, the crop fix large amount of atmospheric nitrogen in soil. Phosphorus and sulphur play impotent role in crop production. Phosphorus for the soybean crop has long been recognized. Phosphorus is a key element in process of photosynthesis, root nodulation and for growth, yield and quality. Thus optimum supply of P is necessary for enhance the rate of protein synthesis in pulse crops. It increased seed yield and protein content of soybean. Sulphur as secondary plant nutrient is becoming increasingly important in agriculture as it is the "Master Nutrient" for all oilseed crops and pulses and is rightly being called the "Forth Major Plant Nutrient," along with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
