| WINTER |
| Corn/Soybeans Respond to Starter Dr. James R. Woodruff Studies show that starters produce optimum responses in coastal plain soils with low Kkholding capacity. (PDF, 3 pages, 20 KB) |
| Putting MSP To Work FFF Review It involves implementing the ABCs--the basic fundamentals--of a soil improvement program that will maximize your soil’s productivity and increase yields. (PDF, 2 pages, 98 KB) |
| Late-planted Soybeans Respond to Nitrogen Starter Michael E. Starling, Dr.C.Wesley Wood, Dr. David B.Weaver Cultivars are compared with varying responses to applied starters at low-N sites. Future studies will focus more on optimum N rates. (PDF, 2 pages, 76 KB) |
| Fluid Starters Bump Yields in High P And High K Soils Dr. W.B. Gordon Kansas field experiments on corn and soybeans compare two K sources and two placement methods at varying application rates. (PDF, 2 pages, 15 KB) |
| SPRING |
| What About ‘One-Pass’ Fertilization/Seeding? Drs. Adrian M. Johnston and Cynthia Grant Canadian studies with liquids show minimal effect on wheat germination and maintenance of yields. Not so with barley and canola. (PDF, 3 pages, 24 KB) |
| Use Local Databases To Help Sell Fertilizer L.J. Murrell Effects of compaction and how starter fertilizers can compensate is but one example of where dealers can help growers via databases. (PDF, 2 pages, 21 KB) |
| NBPT Reduces Seedling Damage In UAN Trials Drs. C. A. Grant, D. A. Derksen, D. McLaren Canadian no-till canola studies find NBPT helps maintain stand density when increasing rates of side-banded UAN in certain soils. (PDF, 3 pages, 38 KB) |
| Cotton Yields Respond To Phosphorus Fertigation J.S. Reiter and Dr. D. R. Krieg Texas research shows fertigation is a viable option to save cotton growers both time and money on fertilizer inputs. (PDF, 3 pages, 227 KB) |
| SUMMER |
| No-Tillage and N Fertilization Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration Dr. Halvorson, C.A. Reule, Dr. L.S. Murphy Studies show that returning N treated residue to soil works better in no-till than in conventional-till systems. (PDF, 3 pages, 31 KB) |
| Fluid Fertilizers In Direct Seeding Systems Dr. Jeff J. Schoenau Ease of handling and simplocity in single-pass systems provide rapidly growing market for fluids in Western Canada. (PDF, 2 pages, 15 KB) |
| Where Does Organic Phosphorus Fit In Your Fertility Program? FFF Review Phosphorus is a key ingredient in the DNA molecule. Strange as it may seem, up to 50 percent of the soil’s organic phosphorus could be in the form of DNA. (PDF, 2 pages, 76 KB) |
| What About P Placement and Rate on Furrow Irrigated, Ridge-Tilled Grain Sorghum? Drs. W.B. Gordon and D.A. Whitney Three-year Kansas study shows broadcasting not as effective as banding, plus higher P rates improved yields. (PDF, 3 pages, 23 KB) |
| FALL |
| What About Foliar Fertilization Of Soybeans? Drs. Antonio P. Mallarino and Mazhar UI-Haq Though a practice not widely used by growers, renewed interest by researchers has producted some positive yield responses in Iowa studies. (PDF, 3 pages, 24 KB) |
| Magnesium Builds Potato Profits and Quality Dr. Ray Hoyum Nine-year study in irrigated field shows yield bump and net dollar increase per acre. (PDF, 2 pages, 18 KB) |
| Should K Be Used On High K-Testing Soils? Drs. W.E. Riedell, D. L. Beck, and T.E. Schumacher In an irrigated no-till system, South Dakota researchers found K did not interact with N and P to affect corn yield. (PDF, 3 pages, 151 KB) |
| Potassium Fertigation Improves Soil K Distribution, Builds Pistachio Yield and Quality Drs. D.Q. Zeng, P. H Brown, B.A. Holtz Available soil potassium rapidly depletes in postachio orchards where it is not applied, adversely affecting pistachio yield and quality. (PDF, 2 pages, 143 KB) |
