| Moving Toward A Global Approach To Nitrogen Management In Maize Drs. Daniel Walters, Tri Setiyono, Haishun Yang, Kenneth Cassman, and Achim Dobermann Maize-N model computer simulation program recommends nitrogen rates for maize crops. |
| A Look at the Economic Benefits of Enhanced Efficiency Nitrogen Fertilizers Drs. C. Grant, A. Moulin, and N. Tremblay In addition to highest possible crop return per dollar, study also considered evaluation of environmental benefits. |
| Greater Phosphorus Efficiency Results From Improved Mobility and Prolonged Availability Tom Gerecke, Dr. Husein Ajwa, Dr. Charles Krauter, and Jerome Pier Two California studies demonstrate the complexation of phosphorus (P) with organic acids results in prolonged availability, plus more movement away from point of application. |

| A Look At Increasing Late N Availability In Soybeans Dr. Ricardo Melgar Better synchronization with N demand sought via better timing of N availability to crop. |
| FFF Review: Tracking a Rich Legacy Using Fluid Technology for Next Generation of High Crop Yields Dean Fairchild The innovation that brought us fl uid fertilizers was given birth in the early ‘50s. |
| SPRING |
| Achieving 300 Bu/A Corn Sustainability Drs. Laura F. Gentry and Fred E. Below Involves agricultural intensifi cation that pursues higher yields, biofuel production potential, and preservation of our soil and water resources. |
| Answering the Question: Does Fertilizer Applied Give Yield Increase? Dr. Tom Jensen Omission plot design employed to show farmer whether or not there is a yield increase response. |
| More Research Needed On Remote Sensing For Nitrogen Management Drs. T. Shaver, R. Khosla, and D. Westfall Current algorithm development methodology has proven sound and should be researched further for accuracy. |
| Do Fertilizer Additives Help In Increasing Root Mass and Yields? Dr. R. W. Heiniger Studies are mixed indicating more work needs to be done in this area. |
