This book was released on 1998 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the grain yield, P or K uptake, and early dry weight responses of no-tilled and ridge tilled soybeans [Glicine max (L.) Merr.] and ridge tilled corn (Zea mays L.) to broadcast, deep-band, and planter-band P and K fertilizer placements under Iowa soil and weather conditions. Long-term P and K trials were established in 1994 at five research centers and were evaluated for four years. Forty short-term P-K trials were established in farmers' fields from 1995 to 1997. Treatments were various P (O to 56 kg P ha−1) and K (O to 132 kg K ha−1) rates broadcast, banded with the planter 5 cm beside and below the seeds, and deep-banded at a 15-20 cm depth before planting. Plant samples were taken at V5 to V6 growth stages, dried, weighed, ground, and analyzed for total P and K content. Soil samples were taken from different depth and position relative to crop rows or fertilizer bands.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep-band K produced higher corn yields than other placements, even in high testing soils where no response was expected. There was no significant relationship between increases in early growth and greater grain yield for both crops. Stratification was largely reduced when deep-band P was applied but placement of K fertilizer did not reduce levels of stratification. In conclusion, early growth of both crops were greater in chisel till then for no-till. Chisel till usually produced greater corn grain yield than no-till while tillage seldom affected soybean yield. Grain yield of both crops benefited from P or K fertilizer applications. Planter-band P was effective for increasing early growth of corn and soybean. Deep-banded K increased corn grain yield when compared to other placements even in some high testing soils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: Average per-acre returns differ little for most U.S. corn and soybean farmers using various alternative tillage strategies, according to this analysis of 1980 farm-level production data. Midwest conventional-till soybean farmers, however, accrue a significantly higher average return than do Midwest no-till farmers. Most conservation-till soybean farmers in the three major producing regions incur significantly lower input costs than do conventional-till soybean farmers, but also harvest lower yields except in the Southeast. Significant differences were found in the use of specific corn and soybean inputs among alternative tillage strategies.

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 Improving Potassium Recommendations for Agricultural Crops written by T. Scott Murrell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book highlights concepts discussed at two international conferences that brought together world-renowned scientists to advance the science of potassium (K) recommendations for crops. There was general agreement that the potassium recommendations currently in general use are oversimplified, outdated, and jeopardize soil, plant, and human health. Accordingly, this book puts forward a significantly expanded K cycle that more accurately depicts K inputs, losses and transformations in soils. This new cycle serves as both the conceptual basis for the scientific discussions in this book and a framework upon which to build future improvements. Previously used approaches are critically reviewed and assessed, not only for their relevance to future enhancements, but also for their use as metrics of sustainability. An initial effort is made to link K nutrition in crops and K nutrition in humans. The book offers an invaluable asset for graduate students, educators, industry scientists, data scientists, and advanced agronomists.

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.
