Will Continuous Supply of NH4+-N Increase Irrigated Crop Production? Dr. D. R. Krieg Results of studies in the Texas South Plains showed positive responses with cotton but not sorghum. Issue 45, Vol. 12, No. 2 - Spring 2004 - Pages 20-23 (PDF, 2 pages, 57 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. Issue 38, Vol. 10, No. 3 - Summer 2002 - Pages 19-2 (PDF, 2 pages, 91.3 KB)
Two by Two Starter Superior in Grain Sorghum Trials Drs. W.B. Gordon and D.A. Whitney Surface dribble applications greatly improved yields over no-starter check but were not as effective as two by two placement in Kansas minimum-/no-till experiments. Issue 35, Vol. 9, No. 4 - Fall 2001 - Pages 8-11 (PDF, 2 pages, 18.4 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. Issue 30, Vol. 8, No. 3 - Summer 2000 - Pages 20-23 (PDF, 3 pages, 22.6 KB)
Nutrient Placement Affects Yield in Grain Sorghum Dr. Dan Sweeney Kansas scientist compares sorghum responses to broadcast, dribble, and knifing of NPK suspension fertilizers in two-year placement study. Issue 26, Vol. 7, No. 3 - Summer 1999 - Pages 10-13 (PDF, 3 pages, 253 KB)
High Residual Soil Mineral-N Impedes Response R. Khosla, Dr. M.M. Alley, P.H. Davis, Dr. D.E. Brann Virginia researchers find increased residual N accumulations in soil from drought and changing crop practices can sharply reduce crop response to additional N applications. Issue 23, Vol. 6, No. 4 - Fall 1998 - Pages 22-26 (PDF, 4 pages, 50.4 KB)
Response To Starter Combinations Varies With Corn/Sorghum Hybrids Drs. W.B. Gordon and G.M. Pierzynski Kansas First-year trials using fluid combinations suggest responses can be economical for some hybrids, even on soils that are not low in available nutrients. Issue 19, Vol. 5, No. 4 - Fall 1997 - Pages 11-13 (PDF, 3 pages, 206 KB)
Starters Bump Sorghum Yields 18 Percent Drs. W.B. Gordon and D.A. Whitney Kansas researchers also find fluid starters applied at right N: P ratio improve early-season growth and hasten maturity. Issue 11, Vol. 3, No. 4 - Fall 1995 - Pages 11-13 (PDF, 3 pages, 19.8 KB)
Sorghum Yields Similar In Placement Trails Drs. F.W. Chichester and J.E. Morrison, Jr. Researchers postulate soil moisture level may affect crop response in surface vs. subsurface comparison trials. Issue 11, Vol. 3, No. 4 - Fall 1995 - Pages 14-15 (PDF, 2 pages, 19.4 KB)
Multi-crop Responds To Starters Vary Drs. Paul E. Fixen and Raun D. Lohry Researchers report on yield responses to starters applied on soybeans, canola, sorghum, potatoes, and sugar beets. Issue 5, Vol. 2, No. 2 - Winter 1994 - Pages 14-16 (PDF, 3 pages, 19.2 KB)
