| WINTER |
| Fluids Outdual Granular In Australian Wheat Trials Dr. R.E. Holloway, Dr. I. Bertrand, Mrs. A.J. Frischke, Mrs. D.M. Brace, and Dr. M.J. McLaughlin Fluid sources of P, N, and Zn performed markedly better than granular fertilizers in terms of promoting dry matter, P uptake, and grain yield. (PDF, 3 pages, 27 KB) |
| Calcium’s Role In Plant Nutrition Dr. G. W. Easterwood Research shows soluble calcium fertilizer plays vital role in production of high-quality crops. (PDF, 3 pages, 21 KB) |
| Fluid Starters Bump Cotton Yields Drs. C.W. Bednarz, G.H. Harris, and W.D. Shurley Net economic returns were also higher than untreated check in 23 of 30 comparisons. (PDF, 3 pages, 117 KB) |
| SPRING |
| P and K Reserves Growing Thinner Drs. P.E. Fixen and T.S. Murrell Do we know enough about optimum soil test levels and nutrient needs at high yield levels is the question being asked. (PDF, 3 pages, 300 KB) |
| Sidedressing Nitrogen in Corn Makes Sense It is not only friendly to the environment but also improves return on investment and crop yields. (PDF, 2 pages, 15 KB) |
| Liquid N Shines in Turf Applications Dr. C. F. Mancino, Ms. Dianne Petrunak, and Mr. Douglas Wilkinson Shows less N loss compared to granulars in 1999 Penn State University putting green trials. (PDF, 2 pages, 22 KB) |
| Micronutrient Response Enhanced By Fluid Starters Dr. Alan Blaylock Mixed solutions create intimate contact between nutrient compounds in the various carriers combined. (PDF, 3 pages, 20 KB) |
| SUMMER |
| Fine-tuning Soil/Plant Needs Critical In Potato Production Drs. Terry A. Tindall and Dale Westermann Western scientists probe into factors affecting potato crop needs for potassium. (PDF, 3 pages, 68 KB) |
| One Good Way To Add Punch To Starters: Include Sulfur Dr. John G. Clapp Industry agronomist says potential yield increases from adding sulfur to starters should be even more positive in the future due to a decline in atmospheric sulfur. (PDF, 2 pages, 56 KB) |
| Are You Approaching Yield Thresholds? Dr. Achim Dobermann, et al. Nebraska researchers suggest the answer is “no.” Increased plant populations and nutrients can bring higher corn yields, plus the added benefit of increased carbon sequestration. (PDF, 3 pages, 69 KB) |
| Starters Bump Grain Sorghum Yields Drs. W.B. Gordon and D.A. Whitney Kansas experiments were conducted on both minimum-till and no-till systems, using 2 x 2 and dribble methods of placement. (PDF, 2 pages, 91 KB) |
| FALL |
| How Far Have We Progressed With Precision Agriculture? Dr. Paul E. Fixen We’re not as far down a road bumpier than we expected, author claims. However, enironmental pressures will speed its acceptance in making it a permanent fixture. (PDF, 3 pages, 109 KB) |
| What About N in NPK Starters? Dr. R.e. Lamond, Dr. W.B. Gordon, B.J. Niehues and C.J. Olsen Be careful, Kansas researchers warn, about how high you raise those N rates. (PDF, 2 pages, 35 KB) |
| Do Starters Work Better in Reduced-Till Systems? Dr. Larry G. Bundy Research suggests that beneficial responses to starter may be more frequent, and the size of the response greater in high residue systems, specially in no-till. (PDF, 3 pages, 40 KB) |
| P Starters Bump Yields In Corn/Soybean Rotations DR. GYLES RANDALL AND JEFFREY VETSCH Researchers stress that optimum placement of phosphorus (P) is essential in reduced-till systems, especially in soils testing low in P. (PDF, 4 pages, 30 KB) |
