Corn Grain Yield Trends From 2012 To 2016: A 26-Year Long-Term Experiment, J. Rivera-Zayas, Charles Rice
Corn Grain Yield Trends From 2012 To 2016: A 26-Year Long-Term Experiment, J. Rivera-Zayas, Charles Rice
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Long-term research trials provide an understanding of long-term effects on crop production. This long-term research studied the effect of conventional tillage (CT) and no-tillage (NT) systems. Factors of this 22-year study of corn (Zea maysL.) production also included the application of nitrogen (N) in the forms of ammonium nitrate and manure at rates of 150 lb/N/a. Corn grain yield trends during 2012 to 2016 were affected by the interaction between N source and year (P<0.05). The interaction between tillage practices and N source and the overall interaction between the last 5 years did not yield performance (P>0.05). Under the studied conditions the 75 lb/N/a as N fertilizer or manure achieved high corn yields.

Long-Term Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilization Of Irrigated Grain Sorghum, A. Schlegel, H. D. Bond
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Long-term research shows that phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer must be applied to optimize production of irrigated grain sorghum in western Kansas. In 2016, N applied alone increased yields 71 bu/a, whereas N and P applied together increased yields up to 93 bu/a. Averaged across the past 10 years, N and P fertilization increased sorghum yields up to 77 bu/a. Application of 80 lb/a N (with P) was sufficient to produce 89% of maximum yield in 2016 which is slightly less than the 10-yr average. Application of potassium (K) has had no effect on sorghum yield throughout the study …

Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus Palmeri) Suppression With Half Rates Of Dicamba And Atrazine With Increasing Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor) Density And Nitrogen Rate, I. B. Cuvaca, R. Currie, A. J. Foster
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Palmer amaranth (PA) competition can result in severe yield loss in grain sorghum. Increasing sorghum density and nutrient supply could promote early/rapid canopy closure and therefore reduce the amount of light that could otherwise penetrate the canopy and promote PA growth in sorghum. A study was conducted at the Southwest Research-Extension Center near Garden City, KS, to determine if PA could be suppressed with dicamba and atrazine applied as PRE at half rates combined with increasing sorghum density (60,000, 90,000, and 120,000 seeds/a), and nitrogen rate (0, 100, 200 lb/a). Preliminary results indicate that increasing plant density and nitrogen rate …

Effects Of Various Grazing Systems On Grazing And Subsequent Finishing Performance, L. W. Lomas, J. L. Moyer
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 280 mixed black yearling steers were used to compare grazing and subsequent finishing performance from pastures with ‘MaxQ’ tall fescue, a wheat-bermudagrass double-crop system, or a wheat-crabgrass double-crop system in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. Daily gains of steers that grazed MaxQ fescue, wheatbermudagrass, or wheat-crabgrass were similar (P>0.05) in 2010 and 2016. Daily gains of steers that grazed wheat-bermudagrass or wheat-crabgrass were greater (P>0.05) than those that grazed MaxQ fescue in 2011 and 2012. Daily gains of steers that grazed wheat-crabgrass were greater (P>0.05) than those that grazed wheat-bermudagrass and …
Response Of Soybean Grown On A Claypan Soil In Southeastern Kansas To The Residual Of Different Plant Nutrient Sources And Tillage, D. W. Sweeney, Philip Barnes, Gary Pierzynski
Response Of Soybean Grown On A Claypan Soil In Southeastern Kansas To The Residual Of Different Plant Nutrient Sources And Tillage, D. W. Sweeney, Philip Barnes, Gary Pierzynski
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Soybean yields measured from 2014 through 2016 were more than 50% greater from the residual from N-based turkey litter applications during 2011 through 2013 than in the control where no nitrogen (N) or phosphorus (P) was applied. However, residual from P-based turkey litter applications or fertilizer-only did not result in soybean yield different from the no N-P control. This residual effect on yield was largely due to increased pods per plant.
Key Components Of Healthy Soils And Their Role In Crop Production, C. J. Hsiao, Gretchen Sassenrath, Charles Rice, L. Zeglin, G. Hettiarachchi
Key Components Of Healthy Soils And Their Role In Crop Production, C. J. Hsiao, Gretchen Sassenrath, Charles Rice, L. Zeglin, G. Hettiarachchi
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Soil health is a confusing term that means different things to different people. To a crop producer, healthy soils are critical for good crop growth and yield. Some soil properties include soil texture, such as the relative percentage of sand, silt and clay; the water content; nutrient levels; organic carbon content; the microbial community; and microbial activity. These properties are determinants of soil health. Our research confirmed that changes in soil management affect the composition and activity of soil microorganisms in surface soils. Greater concentrations of microbial biomass and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) in the no-till agricultural system indicated healthier …

Atrazine, Clarity, Verdict, And Armezon Pro Application Timings For Weed Control In Fallow, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A study was initiated near Garden City, KS, in 2016, comparing the weed control of several herbicide treatments and their time of application in fallow. A single application of Clarity (dicamba) and atrazine applied on March 3, 2016, did not provide more than 93% control of kochia, Russian thistle, and Palmer amaranth on June 9. All other treatments provided 95% or greater control at the evaluation conducted June 9. Three applications were needed to provide 90% or greater control of all three species through July 6.
Preemergence And Post-Harvest Kochia Control In Wheat, R. Currie, P. Geier
Preemergence And Post-Harvest Kochia Control In Wheat, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A study was initiated near Garden City, KS, in 2016, comparing the weed control of several herbicide treatments applied preemergence and post-harvest for kochia control in wheat. Clarity (dicamba) with any premix partner applied preemergence provided less than 30% kochia control at evaluations conducted on July 25 and August 12, 2016. The addition of glyphosate plus Distinct (dicamba + diflufenzopyr) postemergence increased control 45 to 66% compared to preemergence treatments alone on July 25 and August 12. However, all treatments receiving a postemergence application controlled kochia similarly on August 12.
Alternatives To Glyphosate For Palmer Amaranth Control In Wheat Stubble, D. E. Peterson, C. Thompson, C. L. Minihan
Alternatives To Glyphosate For Palmer Amaranth Control In Wheat Stubble, D. E. Peterson, C. Thompson, C. L. Minihan
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth has become a serious weed problem in fields following wheat harvest. A field experiment was established in 2016 near Manhattan, KS, to evaluate herbicide alternatives to glyphosate for Palmer amaranth control in wheat stubble. The two most effective postharvest herbicides for control of Palmer amaranth were Gramoxone (paraquat) or Sharpen (saflufenacil). Clarity (dicamba) and 2,4-D treatments provided suppression of Palmer amaranth, but were inconsistent, and often some plants survived and produced viable seed. The tank-mix of Clarity plus 2,4-D was more effective than either herbicide alone, but not as good as Gramoxone or Sharpen.

Comparison Of Different Weed Control Technology Programs, D. E. Peterson, C. Thompson, C. L. Minihan
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The development of glyphosate-resistant weeds has greatly complicated weed control in soybeans. Roundup Ready 2 Xtend and Liberty Link soybeans provide an alternative postemergence herbicide options for weed control in soybeans. Liberty Link and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend programs provided better overall weed control and slightly higher yields than Roundup Ready 2 Yield programs in this experiment. Yields of Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans were likely influenced by more weed competition and possibly crop injury from spray tank contamination by dicamba. Dicamba injury from tank contamination to Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans decreased with each subsequent treatment and also with …

Determining Profitable Annual Forage Rotations, J. D. Holman, A. Obour, I. Kisekka, T. Roberts, S. Maxwell
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Producers are interested in growing annual forages, yet western Kansas lacks proven recommended crop rotations such as those for grain crops. Forage production is important to the region’s livestock and dairy industries and is becoming increasingly important as irrigation-well capacity declines. Forages require less water than grain crops and may allow for increased cropping intensity and opportunistic cropping. A study was initiated in 2012 at the Southwest Research-Extension Center in Garden City, KS, comparing several 1-, 3-, and 4-year forage rotations with no-tillage and minimum-tillage (min-tillage). Data presented are from 2013 through 2016. Winter triticale yields were increased by tillage. …

Tillage Intensity In A Long-Term Wheat-Sorghum-Fallow Rotation, A. Schlegel
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
This study was initiated in 1991 at the Kansas State University Southwest Research- Extension Center near Tribune, KS. The purpose of the study was to identify the effects of tillage intensity on precipitation capture, soil water storage, and grain yield in a wheat-sorghum-fallow rotation. Grain yields of wheat and grain sorghum increased with decreased tillage intensity in a wheat-sorghum-fallow (WSF) rotation. In 2016, available soil water at wheat and sorghum planting was greater for reduced tillage (RT) than no-tillage (NT) and least for conventional tillage (CT). Averaged across the 16-yr study, available soil water at wheat and sorghum planting was …
Irrigated Corn Response To Long-Term Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilization, A. Schlegel, H. D. Bond
Irrigated Corn Response To Long-Term Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilization, A. Schlegel, H. D. Bond
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Long-term research shows that phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer must be applied to optimize the production of irrigated corn in western Kansas. In 2016, N applied alone increased yields by 85 bu/a, whereas P applied alone increased yields by only 12 bu/a. Nitrogen and P applied together increased yields up to 164 bu/a. This is 20 bu/a greater than the 10-year average, where N and P fertilization increased corn yields up to 144 bu/a. Application of 120 lb/a N (with the highest P rate) produced about 94% of maximum yield in 2016, which is similar to the 10-year average. …
Rates Of Armezon Pro For Postemergence Weed Control In Fallow, R. Currie, P. Geier
Rates Of Armezon Pro For Postemergence Weed Control In Fallow, R. Currie, P. Geier
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A study was initiated near Garden City, KS, in 2016, comparing the weed control of several tank mixes of Armezon in fallow. Control of kochia and Russian thistle generally increased as Armezon Pro (topramezone + dimethenamid) rates increased from 14 to 20 oz/a. Although these herbicides injured the weeds present, smaller weeds will need to be targeted for effective control. The population of kochia was too thick and the size of the weeds was too large to allow enough coverage for this product to work under the conditions of this trial. The level of tissue damage suggests that further testing …
