Effects Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilizer And Topsoil Amendment On Native Plant Cover In Roadside Revegetation Projects, Heidi L. Hillhouse, Walter H. Schacht, Jonathan M. Soper, Carol E. Wienhold Oct 2017

Effects Of Nitrogen And Phosphorus Fertilizer And Topsoil Amendment On Native Plant Cover In Roadside Revegetation Projects, Heidi L. Hillhouse, Walter H. Schacht, Jonathan M. Soper, Carol E. Wienhold

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Establishing vegetation on roadsides following construction can be challenging, especially for relatively slow growing native species. Topsoil is generally removed during construction, and the surface soil following construction (“cut-slope soils”) is often compacted and low in nutrients, providing poor growing conditions for vegetation. Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) protocols have historically called for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilization when planting roadside vegetation following construction, but these recommendations were developed for cool-season grass plantings and most current plantings use slower-establishing, native warmseason grasses that may benefit less than expected from current planting protocols. We evaluated the effects of nitrogen and …


Residual Effects Of Nitrogen Fertilization On Soil Nitrogen Pools And Corn Growth, Meghan E. Moser Dec 2016

Residual Effects Of Nitrogen Fertilization On Soil Nitrogen Pools And Corn Growth, Meghan E. Moser

Open Access Theses

Given the dynamic nature of soil nitrogen (N), inorganic N fertilization to corn (Zea mays L.) has potential to alter N pool balance by creating an accumulation or depletion of soil N. Current corn N recommendations in the common corn-soybean rotation of Indiana strive to find the best N rate that maximizes producer profit. Increasing our understanding of soil N will inform producers if they should adjust fertilizer rates for corn to influence maintenance of organic N and Carbon. Our objective was to determine residual N effects from fertilized corn in a corn-soybean rotation by measuring (1) soil N …


Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Potassium Fertilization For Newly Established Tall Fescue, D. W. Sweeney, J. L. Moyer Jan 2015

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Potassium Fertilization For Newly Established Tall Fescue, D. W. Sweeney, J. L. Moyer

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

First-year production of tall fescue (Site 1 in 2013 and Site 2 in 2014) was affected by nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) but not potassium (K) fertilization. Environmental conditions likely influenced the growth of the fescue and the response to fertilizer N and P in the first year of production at the two sites.


Cultural Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Western Wheatgrass, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell Jun 1966

Cultural Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Western Wheatgrass, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

Fertilization and irrigation requirements and aftermath removal practices for maximum seed production from solid stand western wheatgrass were studied for three years near Oakley, Kansas. Conclusions from this study indicate that to obtain maximum quantity of highest quality western wheatgrass seed from established stands, the grass must be fertilized in the fall with at least 80 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Irrigation with sufficient water to fill the root zone in either the fall or early spring and again when the grass is in " boot" or heading is necessary. The practice of removing the aftermath following harvest by mowing …


Growing Proso In Nebraska, P. H. Grabouski Jan 1966

Growing Proso In Nebraska, P. H. Grabouski

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Proso, sometimes called "hog millet," is receiving attention in the Nebraska Panhandle as a dryland grain crop because of acreage restrictions and limited crop alternatives.


Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell Mar 1965

Irrigation And Fertilization Practices For Seed Production From Established Stands Of Side-Oats Grama, D. E. Smika, L. C. Newell

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The objectives of this study of grass seed production were to determine the response of an established stand of a warm-season grass to irrigation and fertilizer practices with regard to the specific practices needed to produce maximum quantity of adequate quality seed per acre. Side-oats grama was chosen for the study because of the availability of adapted varieties.


Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey Mar 1957

Field Bean Production Under Irrigation In Nebraska, F. V. Pumphrey

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

The purpose of this bulletin is to bring together the latest information available on the production of dry edible beans under irrigation in Nebraska. Cultural practices and disease control are stressed, but included are items on marketing, cleaning, and the use of by-products - straw and cull beans.


Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse Apr 1952

Fertilization And Improvement Of Native Subirrigated Meadows In Nebraska, P. Ehlers, G. Viehmeyer, R. Ramig, E. M. Brouse

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

It is the purpose of this circular to summarize the 1948-51 results of fertilizer applications upon subirrigated native meadows. It is upon these lands that the cattleman depends to a large extent for winter feed.


Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax Sep 1950

Aircraft In Agriculture, N. E. Shafer, J. D. Furrer, J. W. Lomax

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Airplanes were first used in agriculture shortly after the close of World War I. They proved valuable for locating mosquito breeding areas, for forest fire patrol work, as an aid in locating outlaw cotton fields in the campaign against pink bollworm, and for surveying damage caused in large forested areas by the spruce budworm.


The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach Nov 1949

The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The primary purpose of this paper is to summarize investigations concerning the structure and reproduction of the corn plant (Zea mays L.). Because of wide interest in the reproductive process in connection with breeding and genetic studies the floral development, fertilization, and embryology are especially stressed. The morphology and development of the vegetative organs is also included. The botanical relationship, origin, genetics and breeding of corn are briefly considered.
