Sulfur Fertilization Of Alfalfa And Corn On The Sandy Soils Of Nebraska, G. W. Rehm Jul 1978

Sulfur Fertilization Of Alfalfa And Corn On The Sandy Soils Of Nebraska, G. W. Rehm

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Objectives of these studies were: 1. To determine the effect of various S fertilizers and rates of S application on the yield of both alfalfa and corn grown on sandy soils. 2. To determine the residual effects of a single application of S fertilizer on the production of alfalfa. 3. To measure the influence of S fertilizers and the rate of S applied on the S content of corn and alfalfa tissue and S uptake by these two crops. 4. To develop a soil testing procedure which accurately predicts the requirement for the application of S fertilizers to alfalfa and …

G78-390 Right Crop Stage For Herbicide Use Alfalfa, Sugarbeets, Soybeans, And Fieldbeans (Revised January 1987), Robert G. Wilson, Alex Martin

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

If you are using herbicides on alfalfa, sugarbeets, soybeans, or fieldbeans, information in this Guide will help you apply them at the proper time for best weed control with a minimum of crop injury. Proper timing of postemergence herbicides is essential to achieve maximum weed control with minimum crop injury. As field crops grow and mature, their tolerance to herbicides changes. As a general rule, annual and biennial weeds are more susceptible to postemergence herbicides when they are in the seedling stage, becoming increasingly difficult to control as they mature. The grower is thus faced with the problem of when …
