G78-406 Fertilizing Grass Pastures And Haylands, Bruce Anderson, Charles A. Shapiro
G78-406 Fertilizing Grass Pastures And Haylands, Bruce Anderson, Charles A. Shapiro
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This article discusses managing nitrogen and using phosphorus and other nutrients for grass pastures and hay-lands. Pastures are important to many livestock producers in Nebraska, but production from many pastures is low. Research shows that fertilizing, weed control and rotational grazing increases grass production from pastures, resulting in greater livestock production. Fertilizing and controlling weeds on haylands also increases production. Since more plant material is removed when land is managed as hayland, more attention needs to be paid to fertilization. In addition to increasing grass production, fertilizing can improve forage quality. On-the-farm demonstrations show that fertilizing increases the amount of …

Management practices which provide an adequate, but not excessive, supply of plant nutrients are essential for high yields of high quality sugarbeets in western Nebraska. This publication discusses the amounts of nitrogen, rainfall or irrigation, and applied fertilizer that are needed to produce sugar beets.
G78-398 Irrigated Small Grain Production, Philip Grabouski, Walter Trimmer, Louis Daigger
G78-398 Irrigated Small Grain Production, Philip Grabouski, Walter Trimmer, Louis Daigger
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Excellent management practices for irrigated small grains are necessary to obtain high yields. What varieties should I use? How should the seedbed be prepared? What row spacing is best? What plant nutrients are needed? How much fertilizer should I use? When should I apply the fertilizer? What is the water intake rate of my soil? How much will it hold? When is the best time to irrigate? These are some of the questions in the mind of the irrigated small grain producer and are answered in this NebGuide.
